About episode

The Super Bowl isn't just about football—it's about messaging. For 30 seconds, brands spend millions trying to connect with millions of viewers. But not all of them succeed.

 

In this annual episode, one of our most popular every year, our partners break down the messaging behind this year's most talked-about commercials. What made some ads resonate so powerfully that people can't stop talking about them? Why did others completely miss the mark despite massive budgets and star power?

 

Lee, Michael, Keith, Ben, and Katie analyze the themes, language choices, and strategies that separated the winners from the losers. You'll discover what these ads reveal about how audiences think right now, and gain a behind-the-scenes look at what actually makes messaging work. Whether you're a communicator, a business leader, or simply curious about why certain messages stick with us, this episode is a masterclass in the power of language done right… and a whole lot of fun!
