I think it would be interesting to show viewership of the superbowl during the same period.

Yeah, the real measurement here is cost per pair of eyeballs

Eh, I hope I didn’t sound too much of an ass. Total ad revenue is more important if you’re looking at the whole financial system of the sport.

$200k per second and none of it was particularly good this year :(

Nothing rose to the level of Terry Tate: Office Linebacker, The Man Your Man could Smell Like, or It's a Tide Ad

Is it linear? IIRC when Miller High Life had a one second commercial it cost significantly more because of the difficulty in putting in a one second ad instead of the regular ad runtime. Or was that just a special case?

I wonder why they didn’t buy the full 30 or 15 second spot and then sell 14 or 29 seconds to someone else?

I have no knowledge on it that wasn't anecdotal. Not to mention the marketing cost for them advertising the one second advertisement. But then again, it is how many years later and I am still talking about it.

Super Bowl ads are so over-produced. It makes me grateful that money restricts these ad agencies from subjecting people to this stuff all the time.

When i was in walmart i heard someone ask the walmart associate, "You got any of that new gatorade prime drink"

So the ads must be working.

I'd love to see internal analyses by these companies to prove expensive SB ads have a proportional impact on sales.

It is interesting to fit a trend to this data. The least-squares fit of a 3-parameter logistic (Time = years since 1966) is:

548328.1273 * logistic(0.078376864 * Time - 4.852042189)

...which is over 5 times over-determined and has an apparent proportionate reduction in variance of 98.9%.

The last 6 years have been weird in that they have really stayed the same.

Seems like it was strictly quadratic/power up until 2016 or so.

But I'm really glad all these stupid companies are spending millions for one ad buy, instead of, you know, making a better product or making the existing product cheaper.

Never lower prices! Just make people pay more so we can tell them what a great choice they made.

Because stupid consumers don't buy shit that isn't advertised, you think companies really want to make ads?

Advertising brings customers.

Advertising is definitely worth it if it increases revenue by more than it costs.
