Super Bowl Advertisement Analysis
The Super Bowl, it is considered the pinnacle of achievement when it comes to football prowess. Furthermore, any marketing professional knows that airing a well-liked, talked about, ad during the Super Bowl is the ultimate marketing achievement. However, in the same way the game itself has evolved since its inception fifty years ago, so has the marketing industry and the way advertisers present their company or product. Read below to learn more about how companies have moved beyond a short commercial during the Super Bowl itself to fully capitalize on the event:
They Realize Their Audience Isn’t Always Viewing Traditionally:
In years past, viewers primarily watched Super Bowl ads on their TVs. Now, many people watch from alternative devices, such as their phones or tablets. As a result, they end up sharing these ads online after watching them. In fact, Super Bowl 2015 commercials were shared online 9 million times, which is an increase of 73% from the previous year, a number that was revealed in Unruley’s new white paper “The Science of Sharing 2015.” As a result of these numbers, a wise advertiser will recognize the propensity of their audience to watch online and share online and will design a short, either funny or heartwarming ad that will prompt sharing and tweets.
They Start Before The Game:

They started a “Crash The Super Bowl” contest. It’s genius if you think about it. Doritos isn’t even making their Super Bowl ad, they are opening up a contest for up-and-coming filmmakers for the best ad and then using that as their ad of the year. It also keeps Doritos first and forefront in the minds of customers well before the Super Bowl. In addition, there is a great anticipation for the ad itself due to the fact that all the participants and their family and friends want to see who “won” the ad contest by seeing the ad that is chosen for the Super

    Every time I watch the Superbowl, I find myself (under the interrogative look of my friends) bitching about the effectiveness of “xyz” commercial that somehow succeeded in producing laughter among the audience. Then I start explaining that too often the joke becomes bigger than the brand and when it does, chances are you will most likely remember the punch line than the advertiser. If you just invested $2.6 million for a 30 sec. and everybody misses the point, it’s a huge waste of money.…

    The only Superbowl commercial I can remember was the mountain dew commercial. It said "Feel Everything Fade Away". I think they meant by that by if you drink mountain dew you'll feel better about everything. I think if that is so I think others should buy it. It would possibly stop people from doing drugs. There would be less smoking with mountain dew. There would be less people dieing from drugs or…

    Superbowl Ad's

    • 582 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the Calvin Klein ad, “Concept,” we the viewers get to behold an oiled up and jacked Serbian dude, as he progresses though his daily morning routine: flexing, stretching, and, naturally, running sprints in his underwear. Despite the fact that this Ad eerily represents my exact morning routine, I liked it because it is a classic representation of semiotics and mythology. Filmed in a dramatic black and white filter, every muscle in his body is clearly defined and highlighted. The man in the ad signifies desirable qualities such as youth, health, and fitness, all of which signify male perfection or desirability. Additionally, another subtle, yet powerful sign Calvin Klein uses in this ad are the cut scenes. If you watch closely, you might notice that amidst the models self-righteous no pants dance, for brief* moments, the ad quickly flashes to an image of what appears to be rotating gears. As the gears rotate, thick liquid drips and cascades through the inner workings of the revolving gadget. The ad cleverly lines the two images up so that the model, and the gears, could appear to have the same functionality. Possibly leading the audience to associate the chiseled man to a well-oiled machine. Calvin Klein is notorious for using images of athleticism and youth as the myth that convinces their target audience, males age 18 to 30, to buy their product. I think the ad does a good job of reaching the target audience particularly with the machine metaphor. In addition to reaching their target audience, I think they also reached another target audience, women ages 16-40, who might have been stimulated by the eye candy, and were then encouraged to buy their boyfriend or husbands some new tighty whitey’s.…

    The commercial starts out with a young boy in a tuxedo staring at himself when his mother comes in the room wearing a tan shirt, complimenting how good he looks. The boy rolls his eyes and shows a look of disapproval. The mother notices that her son is feeling upset, so she tells him to not feel bad, and that many students go to prom by themselves, but from the kitchen, his little sister who is coloring at the table replies, “no they don’t.” The mother fixes her son’s black bowtie as he makes his way towards the front door. As he grabs the door handle, his father comes from the other room and calls for his son. When the boy turned around, the father tossed him his car keys to a silver 2013 Audi S6. The boy catches them with one hand, and shows a look of shock. His father then tells him to have fun tonight with a nod of approval.…

    Some changes in broadcast television spawned by the rise of internet video entertainment are job cuts and wage drops because without as many advertisers they lose money and have to make changes to remain profitable. More and more advertisers are dropping their spots on TV to go to videos on the web. The practical problems you tube has to solve to attract more advertisers is that when a advertiser wants to promote a product such as cat food, they need to make the advertisement shown with videos that promote it instead of videos that are cruel to cats that make the product look bad. Copyright holders haven’t litigated more frequently against you tube because they run the risk of losing the extra publicity. Advertisers’ risk aversion likely to affect their spending decisions because a advertiser don’t want to post their ads if it’s not going to be posted in a useable way to their product which in turn makes them not spend the money to post their ads. Garfield’s description of you tube success relates to the success of internet community building described by Barry Wellman because you tube brings people together and gives people of like interests to view and…

    The Super Bowl is the main sporting and entertainment event of the year. Not only is it a program action packed with football, but, it is also a showcase for some of the most stellar television commercials produced annually. An advertisement in the Super Bowl costs several million dollars because the Super Bowl football game is often the most viewed television production globally. Therefore, companies work exceptionally hard to construct effective, passion-filled advertisements for this function. They aim to captivate the audience through rhetorical devices such as emotional appeals, humor, uniqueness, etc. As a result, these commercials are easy to analyze for rhetoric and production. Budweiser generated a commercial for the Super Bowl in…

    Unlike the “Like a Girl” commercial, Super bowl commercials reflect the sexuality of women. Super Bowl commercials can be described as the funniest, and most entertaining commercials of the year. However when looking into them they poke fun of women’s sexuality in various ways. The Doritos Super Bowl commercial presents the idea that the only way to get a man to pay attention to you is to offer your body as a prize (Doritos Super Bowl). The whole concept is that a Super Bowl commercial emphasizes the idea in which is supposed to be funny. This further questions medias purpose in society. Media is forcing the knowledge on society that women are used as props to draw viewer’s attention to the screen. It emphasizes that Women are just toys to play with when they are there, but if they were not there it would not be a problem.…

    The Godfather Audi R8 Super Bowl commercial aired for the first time during the Super Bowl XLII in 2008. The advertisement depicts Audi’s flagship supercar in a scene that clearly recalls the famous “horse head” scene from the popular movie The Godfather. The Audi commercial from Super Bowl XLII is an effective way of drawing attention to Audi products and the R8 supercar in particular. Because the R8 is the only product pictured in the ad, it is clear Audi is trying to draw attention to this new product in particular. I will take an in depth look into the advertisement to determine whether or not this was an effective advertising campaign and define the target audience of the advertisement. The Audi R8 advertisement is an effective advertising campaign that captures the attention of Audi’s target audience while conveying widely held societal values of our time.…

    Mountain Dew Case Study

    The successful ‘Do the Dew’ campaign of the PepsiCo soft drink Mountain Dew was in its eighth year. As, the marketing managers realized that the tag line had lost consumer interests, they changed the direction of the creative. The target market for Mountain Dew, however, remained the same. Mountain Dew’s ad campaign between 1995 and 1999 did not fare extremely well. A new marketing concept must be developed to rejuvenate consumer appeal towards Mountain Dew. In 2000 PepsiCo decided that Mountain Dew would be featured during the Super Bowl rather than Pepsi. This was an enormous feat, as the Super Bowl had been an influential event for advertisers for decades. It was already October 1999 for the marketing executives and decisions had to be made to get the production started. Only three advertisements were going to be chosen, two to be played during the Super Bowl and all three throughout the year 2000. There were ten initial concepts proposed and which were whittled down to five finalists.…
