The biggest NFL contest of the year also happens to come with a big price tag for advertisers looking to score.
Answer: About $8 million
Questions:
- Do you think spending $8 million on a 30-second Super Bowl ad is a good investment for a company?
- Who is the target audience for Super Bowl ads? How might the demographics and interests of this audience justify the high cost of advertising during this event?
- How do Super Bowl ads contribute to building brand awareness as opposed to direct sales?
- What makes a Super Bowl ad successful? Can a smaller budget ad be just as effective if it’s more creative?
Behind the Numbers (Ad Meter):
“The cost for a 30-second Super Bowl commercial has hit new heights, with ads being sold for about $8 million in the weeks leading up to the game, according to multiple reports.
While Fox sold out its Super Bowl commercial inventory months in advance, broadcasters hold additional ad spots for unexpected delays in the game. The high-profile matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs (with Taylor Swift in attendance), makes this year’s game an appealing last-minute investment for advertisers.”
