Super Bowl advertising season is underway, and Marketing Land is back with the sixth annual #Hashtag Bowl — our look at how advertisers integrate social media and online marketing into their Super Bowl TV commercials. As the game approaches, and after it’s over, we’ll also be reporting on how brands big and small take advantage of all that digital marketing has to offer when it comes to reaching the huge audience that watches the Super Bowl.
How Does The Marketing Land #Hashtag Bowl Work?
The #Hashtag Bowl is Marketing Land’s annual examination and commentary on how marketers are leveraging America’s premier cultural event, the Super Bowl.
Our team of marketing experts will be watching those expensive in-game ad slots to find out which social media platforms advertisers are steering fans towards by using brand or ad-specific hashtags or by directing viewers to specific social networks, and how viewers are responding to those ads and hashtags.
Pre-Game Brand Marketing
In the days leading up to the big game, our editors will be on the lookout for teaser ads, leaked clips and ads that didn’t make the final cut of Super Bowl-worthy commercials. We’ll be watching and reporting on some of the unique tactics that non-advertisers will use to try earning Super Bowl-related attention.
Some of the questions we’ll be discussing in our pre-game coverage include:
Who’s taking early advantage of search interest in the Super Bowl?
How are brands preparing to get their names into the real-time social conversation that happens during the big game?
Which pre-released Super Bowl commercials are earning the most buzz on YouTube?
