On February 7, two NFL teams will take the field to battle it out on the most-watched sports night of the year, but marketers know where the real competition is happening: the Super Bowl Ads!
Super Bowl is a whole lot more than football, it is the ultimate advertising arena. This year, a select number of brands are spending upwards of $5 million to reserve their spot during the game – making a play to win the minds and hearts (and laughs) of the biggest ad audience available.
To prepare for game day, Marketing Land is keeping its own scorecard of which brands are competing and what they’re planning for game day.
We’ll continue to update this list as more information is made available from the advertisers and more ads are released.
Also, be sure to check out our 2016 HashtagBowl where we track pre-game and post-game social media visibility for this year’s Super Bowl TV commercials: Game On: The 2016 Marketing Land #HashtagBowl Is Coming Soon.
