It’s the time of year again that all American sports fans live for – Super Bowl Sunday!
The event itself takes place this Sunday, 12 February, as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Arizona, with kick off scheduled for 18.30 local time (23.30 GMT).
As Super Bowl 2023 approaches, excitement is not limited to just sports fans, but also extends to FMCG brands and advertisers across the globe. In anticipation of the highly-anticipated event, ESM has decided to examine 10 Super Bowl advertisements set to make an impact during the big game.
Effect On Consumers
Mitto, a provider of global omnichannel communications solutions, recently announced the results of a survey that explored consumers' viewpoints on the effectiveness of Super Bowl advertisements.
More than half (52%) believe a Super Bowl ad is a successful use of a brand's marketing budget, however two-fifths of consumers (41%) reported they were more likely to purchase from a brand that communicates with them in an ongoing and personalised way.
When asked what emotions they prefer in a Super Bowl ad, nearly two-thirds (62%) said humour followed by 25% who want a celebrity appearance, 7% who want an emotional connection and 6% who want relevant brand information.
"Personalised, ongoing engagement with customers, which are much more economical, have shown to be a more powerful driver of purchasing behaviour and ultimately build more powerful and lasting brand loyalty," said Andrea Giacomini, CEO of Mitto.
