The Science Of Sharing: Super Bowl 50 Study   

Overview:

Super Bowl 50 has been called “Super Bowl Light.” The ads were light-hearted, light in substance and light in connecting with consumers. This last bit was the fatal flaw in a lackluster year for Big Game ad sharing – high emotional intensity is the secret sauce behind making people lean in to watch and engage with an ad. Ad quality fell year-over-year and shares dipped 17% in 2016.
