PROSPECTIVE SUPER BOWL 2025 ADVERTISERS – WAKE UP! It’s All About Brand, Message, and Action

The 2024 Super Bowl generated an ironic achievement. It was blessed with an estimated record number of 120.3 million TV viewers on CBS alone, according to Nielsen. However, a seven-year longitudinal study by Bottom-Line Analytics (BLA), an advanced analytics and market mix modeling firm, shows that this year’s Super Bowl ads were the weakest in a decade.

Bottom-Line Analytics has worked with ABX Advertising Benchmark Index™ for all Super Bowl advertising effectiveness scores over the past 11 years. The ABX Index, a composite score of the most critical of 14 KPIs, is based on its 425,000 tested ads globally. Toplines revealed that Super Bowl 2024 ads were:

  1. No better than sponsors’ ads at other times of the year.
  2. Thirty-five times more costly than the normal national :30 spot.
  3. Less likely to motivate viewers to buy the advertised products.
  4. Unlikely to generate a positive ROI for the advertisers.

The 2024 Super Bowl audience was more diverse than in past events, with more Gen Z (age 18-24) and female viewers. The record number of under-performing ads was likely due to a failure to speak clearly to, and engage, this broader audience. 

To beat this trend, prospective advertisers should: Weigh the costs carefully; make sure visual and audio creative clearly link to the Brand; pre-test and re-test against In-Market ads for Message Clarity; place Calls-to-Action and Brand Logos early and often; and be mindful of audience diversity.
