Speaking of the Super Bowl, every year there is discussion around the commercials. Some people care at all about the game and watch just for the ads. I’m thinking those people have been disappointed this year. I certainly am. I kept waiting and hoping a really good commercial was coming up next. But it never aired. What did air has to be the WORST bunch of crap that’s ever run all in one evening.
Not only am I fairly certain those spots didn’t generate interest in buying the product or service (which is presumably why a company would advertise in the first place), they weren’t even interesting! Watching Justin Timberlake take all that abuse in the Pepsi ad was amusing because finally he’s getting what he deserves. Beyond that, snooze city.
The “experts” top five picks are a complete waste of $13.5 million and think of how much more money was squandered by the advertisers in the rest of the spots. If you’re looking for new clients, for my budget and yours, creativity and target/niche marketing is the smarter way to go.

I think advertisers have no care for the creativity of their ads. They just care whether the ad will sell the product or not.

That may be true, but I don’t think these ads are even selling product. So if they’re not selling product, they could at least entertain.

Yes, that’s right. Still if the stats says over 1 billion watched it and only 0.1% of them will buy… 🙂 For the rest (me too) it’s just entertainment.
