In real life, the tortoise was the featured player in another win – this time, for Taylor, when a spot the agency originally created for social media distribution was selected by long-time client partner Diageo to run as a national television ad on the popular “Jimmy Kimmel Live” program.

The spot, which featured two live tortoises used interchangeably during production, was created to generate excitement and awareness for a series of limited-edition cans for Guinness Draught beer.
