What messages about American society do Super Bowl advertisements convey today?
“An idea in the highest sense of the word, cannot be conveyed but by a symbol.” (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
The Super Bowl this year between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers represents much more than crowning one of these team as the National Football League (NFL) champion. For it’s well known that millions of viewers who tune in to the game each year can be expected to find a plentiful supply of advertising commercials before, during, and after the game. Certainly these innovative and impactful marketing strategies of goods and services during the biggest professional football event provides strong entertainment value for the masses of people who watch them. But these “glitzy” brand presentations also place American contemporary issues in the forefront in order to foster a meaningful “buzz” of conversation concerning the need to consider political and societal change in the future.
So attached below you will notice a list of links of 2024 game advertisements to click on and watch for yourself followed by some persuasive messaging ideas that I conclude from each of them. Considering the importance of securing voter interest in this important election year, I encourage you to add your own perspectives about any of these ads in the comment section .
