John Gilroy: John Gilroy MA ARCA FRSA (1898 1985) was one of the 20th centurys most versatile gifted and imaginative artists. He is best known for producing some of the most memorable images in British advertising but was also a respected and successful landscape and portrait painter of royalty and celebrities. After producing several successful poster designs Gilroy was recruited in 1925 by the advertising agency S.H. Bensons. In 1928 Bensons began work on the first advertising campaign for GUINNESS reg beer and from then until the early 1960s Gilroy was above all associated with GUINNESS reg advertising. Gilroy is particularly associated with two Guinness stout campaigns which ran simultaneously for nearly thirty years from the 1930s. The first involved the slogan "Guinness for strength" showing people performing incredible feats of strength empowered by Guinness stout. The second campaign featured a menagerie of zoo animals who found ingenious ways to capture their zookeeper�s Guinness stout. The zookeeper was a caricature of the artist.
