Super Bowl on Large Scale

Last year’s game at Tampa, Florida had limited one-third capacity siting but this year Super Bowl will be held at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles. It is estimated that there will be 70,000 people at the stadium, returning the stadiums to pre-COVID times.

Across the U.S. Super Bowl accounts for 100 million viewers and brands have the chance to market the products on a large scale this year. Given the popularity of the game, NBC-the broadcaster has charged around $7 million for only 30 seconds of commercial time.

Advertisers get creative

The advertisers are shying away from the mention of COVID-19, however, some of the brands might use the situation for creative purposes. For instance, Budweiser plans to tell the story of one of its trademark Clydesdales recovering from injury.

Last year, Budweiser skipped Super Bowl advertising and instead donated the funds in COVID-19 support and vaccine awareness. This year Budweiser will display the message of hope and resilience for America.
