The Most Interesting Man Says Adios To Earth
Saying good-bye is always tough. What if you are the most interesting man in the whole world? It is still tough to say farewell?
Dos Equis is saying #AdiosAmigo to The Most Interesting Man in the World, as he heads on a one-way “Mission to Mars.” The latest spot from Dos Equis, “Mission to Mars,” will be the last commercial featuring actor Jonathan Goldsmith as “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” The spot launched today on Dos Equis’ YouTube channel, and the full 60-second spot will exclusively air tomorrow (March 10) during the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers NBA game on TNT (the last match-up between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James). Fans can rest assured that Dos Equis will reveal a new Most Interesting Man in the World in 2016, as this is not the end of the campaign, but an evolution.
Dos Equis created one of most celebrated advertising campaigns of the 21st century with “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” Since the launch of the campaign, Dos Equis has continued to be one of the fastest growing beer brands in the U.S., with the business nearly tripling since 2007, while making The Most Interesting Man a cultural icon.
Dos Equis also recently conducted research which shows that 72% of men describe themselves as interesting today, but are not satisfied, as 83% of them want to live an even more interesting life. This reinforces the time is right to evolve the campaign and ensure Dos Equis “Stays Thirsty” by remaining fresh and relevant for the consumer.
In preparation for this extraordinary journey and to help fans make this Cinco de Mayo even more intriguing, The Most Interesting Man will be giving away his Coveted Collection of worldly possessions including the tuxedo he wore to his last Masquerade, his Spanish guitar and matching mariachi suit, and even his astronaut suit from his 2010 stratosphere. For more details, visit DosEquis.com in early-April.

Guinness Looks To Step Up Its Social Media Game
With tablets and smartphone we seem to add an emoji to everything. One company feels left out. The brewers of Guinness have a question: What about dark beer? That’s why today, Guinness & Co. published this open letter calling on dark beer lovers to join the fight to bring a dark beer emoji to the world’s keyboards.
Here is their open letter.
To Dark Beer Lovers of the World,
As long as humans have been brewing, there has been dark beer—from the ancient Egyptians to
Ireland’s Arthur Guinness to America’s craft brewers.
Today we enjoy more stouts, porters, and dark ales than at any time in human history. And in this age of technological innovation, we have more ways than ever to share our experience with others.
But when it comes to communicating with tiny icons, we’re limited to two pale beer emoji.
We know that you, dark beer lovers of the world, have noticed. We don’t live in a one-beer world, and we deserve more than a one-beer keyboard.
That’s why we’ve submitted a proposal to the Unicode Consortium, the organization responsible for emoji, asking them to release a dark beer emoji—or Stoutmoji, if you will.
One question on the submission form caught our attention: “Is the expected level of usage likely to continue into the future, or would it just be a fad?”
A 5,000-year-old tradition is not a fad. At Guinness alone, we’ve been brewing dark beer for more than 250 years—and we’re not slowing down.
It’s time to bring more beer to the emoji keyboard. And you, the dark beer lover, can help make it happen.
Simply tweet this message:
I want more beer variety on my keyboard. Add a #DarkBeer emoji, @Unicode. #Stoutmoji
By showing the powers-that-be we’re serious, we can bring Stoutmoji to the world’s keyboards. There’s no time to waste … St. Patrick’s Day is almost here.
Sincerely,
The Brewers of Guinness

NASCAR Driver Cole Whitt Gets A Premium Upgrade
In any sport or career we look to work with the best. One of the new NASCAR drivers, Cole Whitt looks to follow that lead. Cole will pilot the Premium Motorsports No. 98 in the 2016 season with ongoing support from Speed Stick. Whitt and the No. 98 Speed Stick brand team made their first appearance on track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this past weekend.
“I’m really excited and grateful for the opportunity to go racing with Premium Motorsports and continue my relationship with Speed Stick,” Whitt said. “Jay Robinson is a smart businessman and has grown his team the right way over the years, and I’m really looking forward to being a part of that growth. The 2015 season was great for me as a driver. We had some important personal victories and some areas where we’ll want to improve.”
The 24-year-old Whitt will enter his third full-time Sprint Cup Series season after progressively climbing the NASCAR racing ranks of the Nationwide, Camping World Truck and K&N series. The Alpine, California native made his transition to stock cars after an early career in open-wheel racing, which included a 2008 U.S. Auto Club National Midget championship.
Known for its line of high-performing antiperspirants and deodorants, Speed Stick previously sponsored Cole during his rookie and sophomore years and connected with fans by documenting the driver’s first race at the Daytona 500 through a unique, online video series.
In addition to this month’s Las Vegas Motor Speedway race, Speed Stick brand sponsored races this year will include high-profile events such as the 400-mile event at Kentucky Speedway in July, the Crown Royal 400 at the Brickyard at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway also in July, and the Can-Am 500 at Phoenix International Raceway in November.
