INSIGHT

Super Bowl Attention Is Unmatchable

  • The Super Bowl's concentrated audience delivers attention you can't buy on social at scale.
  • Gary Vaynerchuk calls the $10M airtime disproportionately the best advertising media deal in America.
ADVICE

Make Creative The Primary KPI

  • Do prioritize creative quality because attention alone doesn't convert.
  • Avoid wasting the Super Bowl's value by producing weak spots or overspending on production and talent fees.
ADVICE

Budget The Hidden Super Bowl Costs

  • Budget beyond airtime and plan for production, talent, and network-required buys.
  • Gary Vaynerchuk warns you can easily spend an extra $20M+ beyond the $10M airtime cost.
