Doritos Best Ad

Super Bowl XLIV between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints is expected to have an audience of 150 million viewers. 

The event is considered the most profitable in the world, and the Super Bowl brand is regarded as more valuable than the World Series, World Cup, and the Summer Olympics.

CBS charged $2.8 million per 30 second television spot.

In 2009's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, close to 40% of all U.S. television sets were tuned in to the game.

Super Bowl XLIV featured an exciting contest between two elite quarterbacks in Peyton Manning of the Colts and Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.  The Saints won 31 - 17 and an all-night party ensued in the city of New Orleans.

Several large companies placed high priced ads crafted by the most prestigious ad agencies in the world.  Success in Super Bowl commercials, however, takes art in addition to formulaic science.
