Super Bowl Advertisers Pull Out All the Stops to Win Over 120 Million Viewers.
This year's Super Bowl is shaping up to be a spectacle that's as much about entertainment as it is about football, with dozens of advertisers vying for viewers' attention during the big game on Sunday. In an effort to reach an audience of over 120 million people watching live and streaming, companies are pulling out all the stops.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) takes center stage in many ads this year, from tech giant Anthropic touting its chatbot's capabilities to smaller AI startups trying to make a name for themselves. Google is also jumping on the bandwagon with an ad showcasing its AI-powered technology helping people envision their dream homes.
Celebrities are also making appearances, from Kendall Jenner promoting Fanatics Sportsbook's sportsbook platform to George Clooney hawking Grubhub deals that will save you money on orders of $50 or more. Other big-name stars like Bradley Cooper and Matthew McConaughey are teaming up with Uber Eats to convince viewers to ditch football for food.
Health and telehealth providers, meanwhile, are everywhere this year, touting various weight loss drugs, medical tests, and treatments. Pharmaceutical companies Novartis and Boehringer Ingelheim are running ads highlighting the importance of screenings for prostate cancer and kidney disease, respectively.
This Super Bowl's trend is to focus on more lighthearted moments and emphasize the power of human connection. Ads such as those from Ring show viewers that technology can be used to come together and help each other out in times of need. Others like Budweiser's heartwarming ad celebrating its 150th anniversary, or Lay's sentimental spot about a father-daughter potato farm duo, aim to tug at the audience's heartstrings.
A number of surprises are also expected this year. While most Super Bowl advertisers release their ads weeks in advance to generate buzz, some companies will keep their ads under wraps until game day, when they'll debut in a last-minute bid for attention. Examples include Pepsi-owned soft drink Poppi and Ben Affleck's Dunkin' Donuts ad, which stars Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, and Jason Alexander from '90s sitcoms "Friends" and "Seinfeld".
The focus this year is on showcasing the latest technology and innovations, but also highlighting the importance of human connection in a society that has become increasingly divided. With its massive reach and global audience, Super Bowl ads represent one of the most significant marketing opportunities available to companies.
With record-breaking prices expected this year, companies are willing to go all out to secure their spot during the commercial break. Whether or not these efforts will pay off remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that advertisers are pulling out all the stops in an effort to win over 120 million viewers on Super Bowl Sunday.
