?What else we are TalkingAbout this week: Super Bowl Commercials!
Did you watch the game? More importantly ?, did you see the commercials? My favorite was the NFL ad.
NFL 2019 Super Bowl ad
WHY? There was intrigue, celebrity cameos, and great music. Formulaic? Perhaps. But it’s just a commercial! It was entertaining. Visually stunning. It made me laugh. I didn’t want it to end. The NFL branding was clear but not overwhelming. And it may have shifted some of my attitudes about the NFL. This ad even helped me understand why so many people enjoy watching the game.
I would ❤️to hear which ad was your favourite?
(An aside: did you hear that none of the players were paid to appear in the NFL commercial? How’s that for P.R.-worthy marketing?)
Super Bowl Ad facts & stats you might end up TalkingAbout:
?Cost per commercial: $5.25 million for 30 seconds (that’s $175,000 per second)
? # of viewers: 98 million in 2019, down from a peak of 114 million in 2015
? Best Super Bowl ad of all time: That’s up for debate. It could be one of a few Coca-Cola ads (1971, 1979), Apple 1984, eTrade’s (1999) or many other iconic ads!
Last thing I will say about the Super Bowl: Watching the halftime show made me think of two new communication-related topics for future TalkAboutTalk podcast episodes:
1.”What your CLOTHING CHOICE says about you”
2.”Talking with our SKIN: Tattoos, Piercings & Plastic Surgery”
(That’s all I have to say about that….)
In this week’s 
I like the two new topics you came up with while watching the super bowl!
Thanks Shawnna. I was hoping people wouldn’t think I was being to snarky…. SERIOUSLY, what is Adam Levine trying to SAY with that shirt and those tattoos???
