“As CBS works to sell the last handful of spots for its 2013 broadcast of Super Bowl XLVII from New Orleans, Ad Age is posting its annual chart of which advertisers are buying into the event and what is known of their plans,” Brian Steinberg reports for Ad Age. “With ad packages going for an average of $3.7 million to $3.8 million, the Super Bowl represents perhaps the biggest investment a marketer may make in a single media property all year.”
“The usual coterie of big sponsors is more or less on board again in 2013 — hello, Pepsi! hello Bud Light! — accompanied by opportunistic, smaller brands that want to make a big splash, such as Century 21 and GoDaddy.com, both of which are also returning to the game,” Steinberg reports.
Among the advertisers:
Samsung
– Buy: To be determined
– Creative: To be determined. Samsung ran a 90-second ad in the fourth quarter of the 2012 game that mocked Apple fans. That theme has continued in the consumer-electronics marketer’s recent advertising.
– Agency: To be determined. MDC Partners’ 72nd and Sunny worked on Samsung’s 2012 Super Bowl effort.
Apple Inc., the company that created the big time, high-impact Super Bowl ad, is once again not listed among Super Bowl advertisers. The Cupertino Colossus hasn’t participated in the annual marketing event for many years.
