But EP+Co, isn't the "buzz" worth it? 🤣 The impressions? The reach? (all marketing BUZZ words that folks will use just to "wow" you)
I'm sharing, not just because I have such great respect for EPiQ and the rest of their team, but because this data is incredible! Every time we've worked on research together, the data has always been very telling. They're an exceptional group of professionals! This leads me to this point... are you doing research as a marketer and strategist? Or just swinging for the fences as you aim for reach and impressions?
OH YEAH.... pay attention to the data in their post. Right now someone in NY and the #NFL offices is scoffing a bit. But, data is data. So before you spend that $7,500,000 on 30-seconds, think of what you could do with that money in the digital space OR spread out over multiple broadcasts throughout a year! #JustSayin #Strategy ABOVE all.
Play the long game, folks. And play it strategically.

Ask just about any brand or agency what the most anticipated industry event of the year is and they’ll likely respond with: the Big Game. Indeed, getting your commercial airtime during the Big Game is considered a win itself — regardless of the content.
But new data from EPiQ, the dedicated research department at EP+Co, says airing a commercial during Super Sunday isn’t nearly as impactful as you might think.
In fact:
▶︎ 85% can’t recall any commercials from last year’s Big Game.
▶︎ 82% have never bought something because of a Big Game commercial.
▶︎ 82% say a Big Game commercial has never significantly changed their opinion of a brand in a positive way.
▶︎ 88% have never started following a brand on social media because of a Big Game commercial.
▶︎ 35% say they watch the Big Game more for the commercials than for the actual game itself.
And our experts know why: the majority of brands fumble the opportunity to create memorable pieces of culture because they don’t build belief.
This Sunday, we’re tuning in to see which brands succeed by delivering spots that are both actionable and consistent with their image. The good and bad news? Whether you come out on top or bottom of the industry lists, the average consumer won’t remember by next year. 😉
