Print ads offer several benefits: high exposure, can handle complex propositions and can be very targeted. It is heavily dependent on the advertising idea that attracts the audience to see the message behind it. While the indirect advertising message grasps more attention that direct messages, the messages need to be easy to understand by most audiences who will see the ads.

Guinness – Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, 2020
‘Good things come to those who wait’ is an advertising slogan used by Guinness since 1996. The idea was first to turn around the negative opinion of the length of time required to pour a pint of Guinness from the tap (around 119.5 seconds), and to encourage their consumers to take the time to wait for it.
In light of the incoming lifting of the lockdown in the U.K, Guinness found a good context to make use of its famous slogan and imagery – Couldn’t wait for that sofa to turn into a bench and the ceiling into the sky.
