The Costly Signaling Power of Super Bowl Ads

The Super Bowl, beyond being a significant sporting event, has evolved into a cultural extravaganza where brands, celebrities, and music take center stage. With a massive viewership of 115 million tuning in live last year, Super Bowl ads are a premium investment with costs reported between $6 and $7 million for a 30-second spot. A study revealed a 6.5% increase in intention to buy after seeing the ads, showcasing the costly signaling effect: the belief that brands willing to spend lavishly on advertising must offer high-quality products.
