What makes Super Bowl ad prices worth it for brands

welcome back to yahoo finance live everyone. companies spend millions of dollars for seconds of airtime during the super bowl, but is it worth it all the work for it if the fans don't remember what the product is and search for it? well, here with more on whether purchasing a super bowl ad is good business, is yahoo finances, ali canal, ali? yeah, brad, that's exactly the question i wanted to answer, especially since super bowl ads are known for their sky-high price tags. according to variety, on average, a 30-second ad spot this year went for six million dollars. that is up from last year's 5.5 million dollars, with some ads going for a record 7 million, and that's just for 30 seconds. so is it worth it? the short answer is yes. i spoke to the ceo and president of data analytiks company, edo, kevin crim. he told me that brands would have to buy over 100 30 second ad spots and regular prime time to get the same effect as the super bowl, since the average viewer is nearly five times as likely to search for a brand advertised during the game compared to everyday prime time tv. he said it's a really rational buy in terms of impact, even during the games that see viewership down. overall, the data has been very consistent, which is why we keep seeing these prices for ads go up year after year. but when it comes to what makes a super bowl ad a massive success, there's normally three components, according to edo. number one: an introduction of a new product or service, something that can really grab a viewer amid all the distractions at a super bowl watch party. that's why typically we don't see everyday household brands and products like dawn, for example, do that well. in fact, dawn underperformed the most during last year's super bowl in terms of ad engagement. number two: uh, successful ads normally have very solid execution on the creative side, historically speaking, funnier ads perform better than heartwarming ones, again going back to that idea of really grabbing a viewer. and then, finally, these home run ads almost always have an authentik celebrity to drive home that brand messaging. according to edo, the most successful super bowl ad last year came from glucose monitoring company dexcom, starring nick jonas. the ad was 11 times more effective at driving brand engagement than the median super bowl 50 ad, and crims said that it oh super 55 ad, i should say. and chris said that this ad hit all the boxes: a relatively new product that consumers weren't aware of, with an authentik celebrity attached to it. nick jonas has been very vocal about his own diagnosis with type 1 diabetes. other top performers included the auto entertainment sector and, in total, advertisers in super super bowl 55 spend an estimated 482 million on in-game super bowl ads, so you can expect that number to be even higher this time around. well, ali, that is a staggering number, but with all of those ad dollars going into advertising during the super bowl, with all these success factors that you just laid out in mind, what can viewers expect this year in terms of brands and new advertisers that they could be seeing? well, this year, edo said viewers should expect to see more entertainment and streaming driven ads, especially when it comes to nbc's streaming service peacock. last year, when the super bowl aired on cbs, almost 35 million dollars worth of ad space was dedicated to vicom cvs launching paramount plus, so you can expect nbc to promote its internal brands during the big game as well. another emphasis this year- uh, that might be different from years past- will be big pharma. it's sort of a sign of the times as brands like pfizer, moderna, johnson and johnson- they've really leaned in on their newfound brand identities following coven 19 vaccine rollouts, they're starting to figure out that their brand onto themselves and they can really go and put that money, uh for the big events like the super bowl and really sort of change consumers perspective. overall, though, we're going to see a lot of new faces. according to nbc, the big game will feature 30 new advertisers compared to last year's event and representing around 40 of total super bowl ads. so a lot to look forward to this year. some new faces, uh, and i know i'm excited- this one my favorite parts of the super bowl, so good business and entertaining to us viewers. it's fun that we get some of the drops ahead of time now allie as well, to kind of preview him before and tell everybody in the house: hey, hey, hey, you got to watch this. one great breakdown, allie, we appreciate.

Crypto Super Bowl Commercials In 2022 = Dot Com Crash In 2000?

hey guys, it's nick. you know i don't really follow crypto and i don't follow sports at all. even so, i know the super bowl is coming up and i can't help but see all these artikles about how much crypto companies are going to spend on super bowl ads and what that represents for crypto. spending all this money during the super bowl is supposed to mean that crypto is now legit and mainstream and that everyday people will be investing in it. seeing this hype reminds me of the last time this kind of hype around super bowl ads happened, back in 2000, with all the new dot-com companies. so let's have a look at what happened back then and see how much it compares to today. you might even be surprised to see one of the dot-com companies advertising back then is now a big name in crypto today. now mark twain said history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes well. this looks like 2022 is rhyming with 2 000 right down to the big drop in the stok market in january. the nasdaq started off the first week of 2000 with a 16 drop, with the super bowl only a few weeks away on january 30th. all the dot-com ads were already paid for and ready to go. so here's a look at the first week of 2000 in the nasdaq 100, the qqq, it started off around 96, went as low as around 79.75 and bounced around until here the super bowl weak. so it recovered after that up to about 120 and within about two years it bottomed out down around 20, losing about 84 from its peak. and so we have a very similar situation here in the first week of 2022. nasdaq started falling and it fell as low as about 16 percent from where it opened, compared to about 17 percent as low as nasdaq went in 2000 before the super bowl. now you see these artikles saying: crypto goes mainstream as exchanges by super bowl ads and they're paying up to 7 million dollars for 30 second ads. and here's another one and it says: obviously the goal of the big crypto companies is to get closer to mass adoption. cryptocom and ftx to shell out millions for super bowl ads. cryptokurrency exchanges are officially aiming for the mainstream. there's a lot of people saying crypto is a fad. just the way they said the internet was a fad. crypto is really the basis of the next version of the internet. well, if that's the case, then maybe this is the next version of the internet bubble. so here back in 2000, they say, dot com's ready bowl game. internet companies risk everything on pricey one-shot super bowl ads, and back then these ads were about two million dollars for 30 seconds. and so the year before, in 1999, only two internet companies advertised during the super bowl: monstercom and hotjobscom. but in 2000 a dozen others have now decided to risk everything on this year's super bowl. together they represent roughly 40 of all the bowl advertisers and the average 30 second spot during the game is 2.2 million. so here this fast company artikle. they tok about it. they say brands were taking millions of dollars, putting it in a pile, dowsing it with gasoline and paying for the opportunity to toss a match on it in front of a hundred million people. the first major brands born online were getting their first taste of mainstream marketing's highest peak. this was the future. the internet had arrived. business would be transformed forever. sadly, though, for many of these companies the realities of basic traditional accounting still stood firm. the dot-com super bowl was the high-water mark for this first wave of web-based companies, most of which wouldn't exist within just a few years or sooner. now most people know that petscom was like the poster boy for the top of the internet bubble, with their sock puppet mascot and they spent two million dollars on their first and only super bowl before they went public the next month at eleven 11, and by november of the same year, in 2000, the stok was 19 cents and they laid off most of their staff and stopped taking orders. here is what two million dollars of other people's money got them in the 2000 super bowl. okay, dino. [Music], part of me [Music], baby, please don't go. oh, [Music]. so what happened to petscom? well, petscom lacked a workable business plan and lost money on nearly every sale because, even before the cost of advertising, it was selling merchandise for approximately one-third the price it paid to obtain the products. i guess the plan was to make it up on volume, huh. so petscom try to build a customer base by offering discounts and free shipping, but it was impossible to turn a profit while absorbing the cost of shipping for heavy bags of cat litter and cans of pet food within a business whose conventional profit margins are only like two to four percent. so fortunately, you don't have problems like cost of merchandise or shipping expense. with cryptokurrencies, just copy and paste infinite wealth. so many dot-coms thought that the internet bubble would just go on forever, so that they just wasted two million dollars like it was nothing to them, and e-trade spent two million dollars on a 30-second ad about nothing and actually bragged about what a waste of money it was. [Music]. [Music], it's time for e-trade, the number one place to invest online, and even microstrategy spent two million dollars on an ad, and if you don't know, microstrategy is a company that sells bonds to buy bitcoin, along with some other kind of much less important software business, i guess [Music], microstrategy software is. where's that idiot stop broker. no, i don't want his voicemail. [Music]. so yeah, microstrategy was a very hot stok back then, and let's see how well you would have done if you bought it around the time of this ad. if you're pissed now because you bought it somewhere around the recent high of twelve hundred dollars, let's have a look at what it was back then. so here's: microstrategy made a high around thirteen hundred dollars in february of 2021, and now it's sitting around four hundred dollars, so not very good, right? well, let's see what it was like in 2000 around the super bowl time. so around the super bowl in 2000, it was around fifteen hundred dollars, and not too long after that it peaked around thirty, three hundred and thirty dollars and by i don't know may it was 180 or so, and if you waited for it to come back, well, that's a pretty long wait because it actually never came back and it's been bouncing around this level of like a hundred dollars or 200 or so until about 2020, when it ran up to like twelve hundred dollars. so is this a repeat of the euphoria at the top of the dot-com bubble, and are we gonna see a pop in the stok market bubble as well as the crypto market? there were a whole lot of dot-com companies around back then that are no longer around now, or even just a few years after that super bowl commercial. there are now over 17 000 cryptokurrencies and over 450 exchanges. let's think about that for a second. there's only about 200 countries in the world, so that means that there are about 85 unique cryptokurrencies for each country in the world and about eight times more exchanges than all the stok exchanges in the world. how many of these will survive until next year's super bowl? during the 2000 super bowl, 17 dot-com companies paid about 44 million dollars for ad spots. at the 2001 super bowl, only three dot com companies ran ads during the game. the nasdaq ended up losing about 39 percent in 2000 and in the super bowl of 2001. e-trades ad this time wasn't as smug, as it surveyed the landscape of the dot-coms that crashed and burned in the last year.

[Music] 7, 11 right now, and, of course, we're getting ready for the big game this weekend, and one of the things people are most excited for are the commercials. we have rich herbeck here with agency 15, a local marketing advertisement company, to give us some interesting information about these commercials. so, first of all, how much are people paying? how has it increased over the years? and then let's tie in celebrities too. a lot of these commercials will feature celebrities, absolutely. you know, this is actually the most expensive year ever for a commercial spot. it costs you over six million dollars for 30 seconds of commercial real estate. my goodness- and i think that brings you to why you're seeing so many celebrities. you're wondering why are they rolling out this c-lister from storage for this spot? yeah, and the fact is, your spot has to live beyond those 30 seconds. you got to be on those must-see lists, you got to garner the buzz, you got to be mentioned on a morning show like this, and to do that, the celebrities are kind of a super power that put you at the front of everybody's radar. that's so interesting. i didn't really think of that. um, fun fact too: the price of placing an ad during the first super bowl in 1967 was only thousand five hundred dollars, so that kind of puts it. now it's over six million. it's crazy. it's like that number, you wonder. it's like, oh my goodness, like a brand pays this much money for a quick spot. the good news, though, is i like to see these commercials played throughout the year. you tend to see that right, they want to turn them into campaigns. usually the spot is kind of the centerpiece of an integrated campaign that you're going to see on social and in print and everywhere else that you'll, you'll interact with a brand. online sports gambling is new in new york this year. i feel like we can't get away from those ads. are we going to see a lot of those during the big game on sunday? you know, if there's a prop bet for what product you're going to see advertise the most, i would put money on sports gambling in new york state ever since it's been legalized. you can't get away from it, and i think the big game and sports gambling go hand in hand. um, you know, i think this is the way the state is covering up and paying for a lot of the money that we all lost during the pandemic. let's- uh, let's- legalize gambling, and then vice will see us through. so, yeah, absolutely, you're going to see a lot of that and you have a production background. what can you tell us about planning and production for a big game ad? sure, i mean, when you're spending that much just for the, the space on air, you want to really blow out the production and that can take months of planning and hundreds of people. so i would honestly say that you're doubling to tripling the cost in production costs from what you are just a place that you had to begin with. a lot of times, when you see some of these big ads, you'll see one with eugene levy flying through the air in a burning car and it's like, yeah, that cost that that ad might have cost, you know, tens of millions of dollars for the production. wow, oh, my goodness, it's incredible. i wanted to mention some of the video we were playing. are some of these leaked ads that we've seen over the past couple of weeks? um, last question here: you know you mentioned online sports betting. are there any overall themes elsewhere we could find in these ads that are playing on sunday? sure, i think one thing i'm personally looking forward to is enjoying the game in a more communal experience, which we haven't been able to do as much the last few years, and even just watching the ads with other people, it's like a mini movie. you know, there might be a spot. i'm like that wasn't funny. and then my 12 year old nephew was cracking up or my dad is crying at a budweiser commercial and, uh, i think you're going to see that theme in the ads too of of coming back together. um, hopefully the next time it's actually true, yeah and uh, yeah, traveling and and family and being out into the, into the world, and i think that'll be a big theme that you'll see. i know expedia has a big ad this year. absolutely, traveling was one example there- fantastik, well, coming up in the next hour, we're going to play a clip from one of these leaked commercials and tell you what specific ads you won't be seeing on sunday. so we're looking forward to that rich. thank you so much for joining us. that was fun, thank you, it was fun. it would be even more fun at 8: 10.. i know, stay with us, we'll be back.

Why Do Super Bowl Ads Cost $5.5 Million? A Game Theory 101 Investigation

in a couple of weeks, the single most important media event in the united states will take place. it's the super bowl, of course. but we aren't here to tok about the game. we're here to tok about the commercials, the very, very, very expensive commercials. this year a 30-second spot will cost 5.5 million dollars. that fills up an entire screen in just one hundred thousand dollar bills, a denomination that never went into circulation. if you put 5.5 million one dollar bills end to end, they'd stretch 542 miles. that's longer than the driving distance between pittsburgh and ottawa. what's up with this madness? i'm william spaniel and this is the game theory of super bowl ads. why do 30 seconds of airtime cost 5.5 million dollars? in this video i'll give you six reasons, ranging from the straightforward to the strategically layered. number one viewership. a couple of the reasons why ads are expensive or obvious, but they're necessary to go through as a preface to the more interesting explanations. put simply, the super bowl is a ratings behemoth. in peak years more than 110 million will watch just in the united states. even in off years it still approaches 100 million. the more people who watch, the more people who see the ads and the more companies are willing to pay to place those ads, but it's not just about the ratings. number two is to pay for the buzz. with normal commercials, companies pay for you, the viewer, to watch their messages. super bowl ads are a different beast. they can become cultural phenomena. people will tok about them the next few days at work and with their friends. companies are willing to pay a premium to extend their reach beyond just the traditional viewership and start to gain a grassroots movement. number three: constructing common knowledge. those first two points were straightforward, right. well, this is where things get interesting, strategic and in need of a little bit of game theory. imagine you owned a gold boolean storage company. you wouldn't be surprised if these were to begin eyeing your establishment. clearly, you need to invest in some security, and a lock is a good place to start. but there are layers to a lock's effectiveness. the minimum goal is to keep these from breaking in. however, it's not the best outcome. even if a thief sees that your door is locked, they still may think that they could break in. with enough effort, the best lock in the world may still stop them, but they may nevertheless cause plenty of property damage to your building. in the meantime. what you need is a way to communicate how great your lock is, and that's where a commercial might come into play. imagine my lock company spent a ton of money on a short ad spot. the commercial begins with me shooting a bullet into the lock. then i show you that the lock still hasn't broken. it's keeping the door locked. you might think to yourself: whoa, that's a great lock, that's what i should use for my business. this is the exact commercial that master lock aired in 1974, but the reason that the ad was so good went a step beyond that. a potential thief who has no interest in buying a lock may very well have caught the commercial, and so when they approach your storage unit and see the lock, they may realize that there's no point in even trying. thus you get your best outcome and that extra deterrent power is worth paying a premium for. in turn, the lock company is willing to buy the commercial time to create the extra deterrent power and pay a premium for it. this effect goes beyond locks. creating brand awareness is important for consumers, who will pass the product on to someone else, and they want the end recipient to think that the quality is high. again, partikularly salient commercials are the easiest way to do this number four costly signals. bear with me for a moment because this one gets complicated. imagine you saw a commercial touting some allegedly amazing books. clearly the seller has an incentive to lie to you to make a quick buck. it's also true that most books are terrible, so at first thought your best bet would be to not buy any of them. but expensive commercials- and i mean expensive- can actually signal credibility. even if a large percentage of viewers were to buy a book, the ridiculous ad price would still mean that the seller is losing money. now you might just think that the seller would be crazy to even engage in this process, but there's actually a method to the seller's madness. you see, for the seller to turn a profit, they will need each person to make multiple purchases, and buyers will only make multiple purchases if the product is of high quality. the seller has private information of the high quality and can credibly reveal that information. with an expensive commercial, the buyer can reason that if the seller had a bad product, they would only make a single sale. the commercial would therefore result in a net loss and so the seller wouldn't bother with it. only a seller with a good product would be willing to pay for that commercial. thus the consumer can become confident that the product is worth taking a shot on. there are limits to this, of course. if the commercial were basically free, bad sellers wouldn't see it as a barrier. smart consumers would see through the risk and choose not to make the purchase. it also doesn't work with big tiket items with huge profit margins and single sales. those sellers would not need multiple purchases to turn a profit. smart consumers would again see through the potential lie and not make the purchase here either. number five: coordinating consumers. some products become inherently better the more people there are who use them. operating systems are a great example of this. even if there were a clearly superior option, it might still not see mass adoption. a business, for example, might not want to spend the time retraining people on the new brand. commercials with an enormous viewership are a solution. in 1984, apple ran an enthralling ad creating not only the perception that it had good computers, but also that others think that and will adopt them as well. that's valuable. the more people that adopt it, the more attractive it looks to adopt yourself. the ability to create a virtuous cycle like this is super valuable, and so a 5.5 million dollar premium does not look so bad, by contrast. number six: self-fulfilling expectations. speaking of virtuous cycles, what if super bowl advertisements get a lot of viewers? because they get a lot of viewers? okay, hear me out on this one. imagine you are watching a regular football game and they go to break. your expectation is that the commercials will be boring. it would be a perfect time to go get some snacks instead, and the advertisement that comes on: well, it's no big deal that you missed it. now imagine it's the big day. you have an expectation that the commercials will be great, and so you don't leave as soon as they come on. the company knows that you have this expectation and that airing a boring commercial will damage their brand reputation, so they only air the good ones, and that justifies your initial decision to stik around for them in the first place, which in turn justifies the 5.5 million dollar price tag that is required to air one of these commercials. so why did john
