The Super Bowl is one of America’s favorite events! It’s a perfect time for families and friends to watch their favorite (or non-favorite) football teams play against each other for the big win. However, one of the greatest parts of the Super Bowl is the commercials! For this year’s game some brands have delighted us with a few teasers to prepare us for the big game! Read more to see what they have in store for us!
Many brands have released their 2017 commercials already. They give little teasers to hype up their ads more in the weeks leading up to the big game. This is done purposely so people will recognize their ads and so they will look out for it more. It was said in the New York Times that “it’s common for advertisers to spend an additional 25% or more of the cost of their commercial slot just on promoting the ad in the lead-up to the Super Bowl”. So these brands got us interested already, and after seeing the first ads of their Super Bowl campaign, we can’t wait to see what’s coming this Sunday.
