I look forward to #PlannerBowl every year & so glad it’s moved & so alive here!
Thanks to those organising & all participating!

May try to be more active than just once a year over here now 🫡

Need to know how many people (if any) actually win $10,000 by Fetch
Real smart way to get app downloads in this economy though 💀

ANOTHER alien ad with Totino’s- that brings the count to 4 with extraterrestrial main characters now?

Can I just say we’re nearing the end & I’m still waiting for Stitch (or Lilo!) to make a reappearance & close the loop there
#PlannerBowl
Omg Stitch!!!!! Adorable & defff caught eyeballs with that double-take it made everyone do. Not having a CTA at the end makes me thing it may be a series throughout the game

That YouTube Tv ad had me confused through the 1st 30secs, brand mentioned/seen too late

Don’t think Dove can ever beat their Real Beauty campaign, but I guess #KeepHerConfident is just an iteration of that? Also reminded me of Always’ iconic #LikeAGirl campaign. #PlannerBowl

Jeep ad - classic Americana brand, talking about “humility, freedom to choose, differences being a strength, choosing wisely” - felt strangely hopeful (?) but also utopian in the current climate. Closing with “even though my name is Ford” by Harrison Ford 10/10 #PlannerBowl

Pharma advertising having its moment + pharma brands finally recognising the opportunity from mass reach placements
Interesting how some of the bigger moments have been health-related ads: Novartis breast cancer spot, Hims & Hers, the LL Cool J Pfizer cancer spot. #PlannerBowl #SuperBowlAds
February 10, 2025 at 2:38 AM
Hims&Hers with a bold identity - the ‘this is America’ background & those visuals brought an intensity. Weight loss drugs are a hot hot topic #PlannerBowl

I actually loved the irony of Taco Bell saying it’s about the real customers/fans & not the celebrities to LeBron. Especially in light of the Poppi controversy going on (even though that’s about influencers). + breaks the just throw in a random celeb main character mold #PlannerBowl
February 10, 2025 at 2:15 AM
I was convinced the Agentforce ad was going to be a Rimova or other cool suitcase brand. Still don’t understand what they achieved with AI there

Lolll Angel Soft with the “Potty-tunity” I see you trying to be unique
But are people really going to remember “oh that’s the brand that told me to quickly take a bathroom break” 🤷🏻‍♀️

ummm was the Ontario, Canada ad a national spot?! Them saying “economic partnership” and “your ally to the north” makes me wonder what cancellation terms are for these placements lol & if they really didn’t feel the need to reconsider with news lately

So many Healthcare #SuperBowlAds!! Assuming the NYU Langone one was a regional buy
Had no idea where the (Novartis) Breast Cancer awareness one was heading when it started but I was not disappointed. Such an important reminder for the masses, no better spot to place it for broad reach #PlannerBowl
February 10, 2025 at 1:16 AM
OOF Nike being Nike as only it can. Also with a #SuperBowlAd after agesss?! Loved seeing Caitlin Clark, Jordan Chiles & other sportswomen celebrated 👏🏻 #PlannerBowl
February 10, 2025 at 1:14 AM
ChatGPT ad had me intrigued. Unique visually from the other ads of the night too.
I need to rewatch it, but would be cool if they were able to say the ad was made/written by ChatGPT too
#PlannerBowl

Okay but is it just this year or are there always these many aliens/alien mentions in ads???

Looking at you, Gordon Ramsay for Hexclad 🤦🏻‍♀️

Rocket ad made me think it would KILL IT in a pitch room.
ad immediately followed by the song playing in the stadium as a “moment of unity” 10/10.
message rn that “everyone deserves a chance at the American dream” 10/10
Buuuut (& I may not be the target demo), don’t know what they do #PlannerBowl

oof Google ads alwayssss do emotional best. That visual of the dad hugging his daughter at college versus young her 🥹
even though it was an ad for the Google Pixel phone, Gemini seemed to be front & centre

Everyone’s going to remember the “Case of the Mondays” tomorrow morning. V smart by Coors light.
(The Zootopia sloths are also a go-to gif in corporate America so ik we could all see ourselves at work tomorrow)

I could see the insight (websites make a business “legit”) come to life in the creative for Squarespace so 🫡 for that
Maybe I’ve been reading too much fantasy lately but I kinda dug the old Irish town & whatever Barry Keoghan was flying on vibe 😂

I really do want to be far far away - we know Disney does story telling best (and they have all the beloved characters & nostalgia to leverage)

Red bull ad saying “chief” and how to “fly” a coincidence or copy tweaked because of who’s playing in the game? 🤔

#PlannerBowl
February 10, 2025 at 12:26 AM
I didn’t get what Cirkul is from the ad though??? First thought it’s a Stanley competitor, then thought it’s flavoured water.
I did end up googling them so maybe (consideration) mission accomplished for them?
#PlannerBowl

Chris Hemsworth saying “Hey Meta, Delete that Video”, super real & answers a question I’ve had for a long time about those RayBans & how much they “see”/record/save. #PlannerBowl
February 10, 2025 at 12:09 AM
Was that an ad for Starlink or T-Mobile, or both? Started off super strong, great insights, but then just got (personally) disappointed when I saw it was for Starlink 🫣

Morgan Freeman’s voice will never not hit hard. Can still remember him saying Homes.com

#PlannerBowl

Marvel making sure they get that site traffic and those video views with the full trailer being online instead of in the ad itself. (Probs would’ve been tooo pricey to show it all rn too)
