What do you all think about political ads during the Super Bowl? Good move or not?

Inevitable, and likely unimpressive, but good from a visibility perspective.

It wasn’t creative or interesting and I’m not a fan but it was good exposure.

Is this a new thing? Just goes to show how Trump is treating politics as entertainment, which explains his staying power

like

In my opinion, it’s garbage. Forty-five ran an ad to try and sway the Black vote, which for him is unswayable. Bloomberg’s talking about gun violence, which young people care about but is an uphill battle. Waste of ad space.

Seems like a noisy/competitive place for such an unimpressive message - but reach is reach 🤷‍♀️

Bud light and Tide combo ad? WTF?

It’s like a solid bit IMO

I personally don’t think it’s the right time or place. This is an event where everyone can just get together hang and watch the game. We live in an over politicized world already. Keep politics out of sports.

like

I’m against it. It’s the one time where people just want to watch the game, eat endless wings, guac and chips, and laugh at commercials.

like

Unfortunately I found Trump’s ra-rah ad very effective (the one online - not the latest) if I were a chicken wing loving midwestern, and Bloomberg’s doesn’t get me excited.

Are there ad agencies that do political ads?

like

Bloomberg’s ad was done by Jimmy Siegel at Siegel Strategies

Not going to change any minds. So empty money. Like usual.

But $10M is a drop in the bucket for both of them.

Trump was spending $1M a day in Facebook ads in 2016.

Bloomberg has already spent $385M on ads.

Best commercial so far has been Rocket Mortgage Jason Momoa. Hyundai and Genesis commercials weren’t as good as advertised. Big names but no substance.
Trump commercial, uh, no.....

Loved the Rocket spot. But Cheetos orange fingers trumped it

Waiting on the Bloomberg ad. Yang might be the only person that could make a solid Superbowl ad.

On one hand you reach a ton. Me personally it pisses me off cause I wanted to avoid politics today.

I was hoping for a break from real life for a couple of hours. Oh well.

Reminder that Bloomberg used to be a Republican.

Lol you guys are comical. Like giving the DNC millions is not considered making his own rules. Good luck with your white privilege. He may be fine by you, but the rest of poor America won’t see him in the same light. Unreal.

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.
