Is Tubi just recreating Tide’s iconic SB ad campaign?

I’m not about it, just genuinely asking.

Also, how?! Beyond the strategy, I’d love to know the logistics behind it.

Is everyone brand partner?
How much did they spend?

Haagen-Dazs

People live their lives so fast, constantly in the go yet they want to eat their ice cream slowly.

Enter: Not So Fast, Not So Furious

One of the few GREAT uses of celebrity and entertainment IP!

Starbucks offering free tall drinks tomorrow regardless who wins. Beats Dunkin’ at the Super Bowl without running an ad.

Nerds Gummy Clusters

Relevant to New Orleans, but did not land the “two things together” idea well at all.

Purposeless use of an iconic musician at the peak of his popularity, as well.

As a huge gummy clusters fan, I’m disappointed.

Tubi, this year’s biggest disappointment by far.

Such a strong 2024.

What was that?!

Reese’s just nailed product appeal. No gimmicks. No celeb. Just fun and funny. #plannerbowl

"Let’s start paying attention to breasts when it matters most”

That was really smart.
Great data point and insight.

Who knew pharma could do great advertising, let alone during the Super Bowl?

Bravo Novartis 👏🏼

Hellmann’s

I like the play an iconic cultural scene, but there’s no way you could bring may to Katz’s Deli

Funny and memorable, clever use of cross generational talent, so hey maybe that’s all it needs to be

As a New Yorker, I am not a fan

Excellent from ChatGPT 🔥

Forced you to lean in

Not overly branded

Highly memorable

No celebrities needed

Totally thought that was a U.S. Army ad. Smart integration with the in-stadium sound system, but I don’t think anyone will remember the Rocket connection.

Uber Eats nailed it again.

Taps into our cultural obsession with conspiracy theories in a fun, relevant way with one simple question:

"Was football invented to make us hungry?”

Great build up prior to the Super Bowl. Great execution.

By FAR the ad winner so far!

Ritz

“Salty, no smiles allowed”

Love the approach and idea, but poor use of celebrity given what Aubrey Plaza is going through right now

Not sure if people care or will pick up on it but seems tone deaf to me

Michelob ULTRA

"Pickleball is popular, right?”

I guess it delivers on their fitness/athletic strategy, but what did I just watch? Two celebrities winning beers over pickleball?

Cool.

Doritos continues to employ my favorite repeatable strategy for the #SuperBowl

“Incentivize your fans to express themselves on the biggest advertising stage of the year”

Saved them money
Engaged the community
Gets headlines every time

BY: Doubling down on its Boston heritage (in a cringe, celebrity-filled way) to become top of mind everywhere
