Deep dives
The Value of Super Bowl Advertising
Super Bowl ads represent a significant financial investment, costing as much as $7 million for a 30-second spot. Despite the massive reach of the event, brands often struggle to achieve a clear return on investment from these advertisements. The effectiveness of the ads largely varies, with brands like Budweiser benefiting from long-standing associations with sports, resulting in notable sales increases following Super Bowl viewership hikes. In contrast, brands that lack such associations, like Coca-Cola, may not see a sales boost tied specifically to Super Bowl advertising.
