Budweiser’s minute-long Clydesdale ad was the most effective ad of Super Bowl 2013, according to Ace Metrix®, the new standard in television and video analytics. The ad, which achieved an Ace Score of 665, was followed by the American Dairy Association’s “Morning Run” ad starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Ace Metrix measures 500 consumers who watch and score each ad across a variety of standardized metrics, which ensures that the Ace Metrix rankings are the most comprehensive and scientifically accurate comparisons available.

“The broad range of creative executions in this year’s Top 10 list—from product intros, iconic storytelling, philanthropy, user generated content, comedy, and hyperbole—show that at the end of the day, it’s great creative—not elaborate social campaigns—that win the hearts and minds of consumers on Super Bowl Sunday,” said Peter Daboll, CEO of Ace Metrix. “Budweiser used its beloved Clydesdale to tell a compelling story, while Milk’s action-packed tale edged out Coke, Pepsi and even Doritos, who relinquished their crown as 2012 and 2011’s best Super Bowl advertiser. Coke’s simple but effective ‘Security Camera’ ad outperformed its ‘Coke Chase’ social media experiment, and Mercedes took the top slot in automotive with their clever New Orleans-themed ad for the new CLA.”

Ace Score is the measure of ad creative effectiveness based on viewer reaction to national TV ads. Respondents are randomly selected and representative of the U.S. TV viewing audience. The results are presented on a scale of 1-950, which represents scoring on creative attributes such as Persuasion, Relevance, Information, Attention, Change, Desire and Watchability.

Auto Bowl
Mercedes-Benz took advantage of its home field advantage in New Orleans to craft a celeb-studded ad featuring Willem Dafoe with cameos by Kate Upton and Usher. The ad was the top scoring contribution from automotive, who once again offered the most creative of any industry in the big game. Jeep’s half-time ad narrated by Oprah Winfrey was the second most effective automotive ad of the Super Bowl, achieving an Ace Score of 622. Along with Hyundai’s Sonata Turbo ad “Stuck” all three made the top ten overall for 2013.

Notable this year was nearly every automaker’s ability to produce an ad that surpassed the current automotive industry category norm of 539. Ram Truck’s “God Made a Farmer” ad generated significant discussion and scored well, held back by a younger generation that felt that the ad was simply too long. Toyota’s use of celebrity Kaley Cuoco achieved an above-norm score of 530, but the “Wish Granted” ad still landed in the bottom of the heap – despite heavy publicity, just above the Lincoln “Steer the Script” ad, which ranked the lowest of the category with an Ace Score of 491. The top 10 automotive ads of Super Bowl 2013 can be seen below:

Most Effective Automotive Ads of Super Bowl 2013

Keynote, a leader in Internet and mobile cloud testing and monitoring, announced the winners and losers from Sunday’s Super Bowl advertisers, measuring their Web performance across desktop, tablet and smartphone screens.

For the first time, Keynote measured Super Bowl advertisers’ websites before, during and after the Super Bowl to see how they fared in speed and reliability once the traffic started hitting.

The good news: most retailers and automakers exhibited strong performance, delivering within industry best practices across the three screens. Maybe all those Black Fridays and Cyber Mondays have put them through their paces? The winners in each category were: GoDaddy (desktop); Axe (tablet); and BestBuy (Smartphone).

The bad news: some of the major consumer packaged-goods names, notably Coca-Cola with its heavily promoted “Coke Chase” campaign, showed unacceptably slow response times on mobile devices and even desktops. From 5:00pm to 9:00pm PST, the Coca-Cola site crashed repeatedly for consumers trying to access it on mobile devices and laptops. During that time period Keynote measurements showed that the Coca-Cola smartphone site was completely unavailable, and more than 70% of visitors to the desktop site were turned away. For those that did reach the site, it took almost 15 seconds to respond, making it the worst performer in that category.

Century 21 placed last in the smartphone category with a staggering 54 seconds response time. Doritos took the bottom spot in the tablet category with a response time of just over 17 seconds.

Overall there were some unimpressive mobile numbers – 11 advertisers came in with over 15 second response times (Century 21, Doritos, Hyundai and Kia, Mio from Kraft Foods, Pepsi, RIM/Blackberry, Samsung (an astounding 36 seconds from the smartphone maker), Sodastream, Walt Disney Pictures for Oz (40 seconds) and Wonderful Pistachios.

“Given the money spent and the high-profile brands promoted, we were surprised to see how poor some of these numbers are,” comments Nick Halsey, chief marketing officer at Keynote. “Clearly the next challenge for these multi-channel campaigns is to better prepare for the three-screen delivery model; testing, monitoring and load testing end user experience prior to special events and to assure day-to-day performance are mission-critical. It’s not enough to simply hope the desktop site will run on a mobile device, particularly when some of the content is rich video and animation.”

The Big Game has come and gone. While most people are talking about their favorite – or in some cases – least favorite Super Bowl ads, the real showstopper wasn’t the commercials or even Beyoncé reuniting with Destiny’s Child. No, the real event took place during the 32 minutes that the stadium went dark.

At the house party where I was, everyone put down their iPads and smartphones and looked at each other with dismay and confusion as if to ask each other “is this really happening?” And of course, the joking tweets were sent out from the thousands almost immediately.

What happened next is what separates the brands who came to play from those that are still trying to figure out what just happened.

Social Media Shines During Blackout

Audi sent out a tweet to “send some LEDs to the @MBUSA Superdome right now.”

Tide tweeted a clever photo with the caption “We can’t get your #blackout, but we can get your stains out.”

Calvin Klein linked followers to a Vine video featuring their svelte commercial star working out his abs because “the lights were still out.”

Even Walgreens jumped into the mix letting fans know that they “carry candles” with the hashtag #SuperBowl.

But the best came from a cookie. Always known for clever and smart community management, Oreo quickly added a Facebook post with the short status “Power out? No problem.” As of Monday morning, the post had over 6,700 shares and over 20,000 likes with 785 comments.

How Did Users React?

Fans tweeted, liked, shared and praised the “social media” people behind each channel, suggesting they receive raises and applauding creativity and timeliness of each of the brands’ posts.

What really made this work though is the obvious trust between the brands and their agencies.

Prepare for the Unexpected: Have a triage system created between all internal and external partners needed from the public relations to social marketing to executives to anticipate crises, but also events like this where our audience is watching along.

Is it appropriate? As marketers, we have seen where it is and isn’t appropriate to interject a brand into the existing conversation, whether it is on accident like some of the social media blunders we’ve seen. Some events are more appropriate than others for a brand to share.

Stay nimble: While we can plan until our heart’s content with editorial calendars and legal approvals, savvy brands recognize the need to work on the fly and stray away from the planned content as needed.

The Verge: How Oreo’s rapid-response team lit up Twitter with a Super Bowl blackout ad

Wired: How Oreo Won the Marketing Super Bowl With a Timely Blackout Ad on Twitter

New Orleans has been witnessing an economic renaissance due, in large part, to the digital media and technology boom that iscurrently sweeping the region. From film production and software development to biotechnology and online trading, technology is king in New Orleans right now. And, the city’s growing industry certainly shined during Super Bowl XLVII, despite the 34-minute blackout at The Mercedes-Benz Super Dome.

With several initiatives that were led primarily by the Super Bowl XLVII Host Committee, technology was fully integrated into this year’s event like never before. The tech subcommittee, a component that was newly added to this year’s Super Bowl, had the task of doing more than just vetting contracts and making sure there were sufficient cell phone towers in the area. Their goal was to use technology to enhance the visitor experience in New Orleans, while capitalizing on the growing tech industry and talent in the region.

“Our focus was to show the world that New Orleans is back, as well as shed light on all the entrepreneurial and tech activity that is happening in the city.”

And, that is exactly what they did, as over 100,000 football fans and a record breaking 5,200 media professionals descended upon the city last week. All eyes were focused on New Orleans, and developers, social media professionals, entrepreneurs, and Super Bowl partners were on hand to showcase the city to the world.

Integrated Social Media Provided Visitors with Direct Customer Service

As social media has quickly evolved over the years, major events have had to learn the hard way the value of the resource and its ability to both help and hurt a business. By integrating social media into this year’s event, The Super Bowl Host Committee was able to naturally shape the story and monitor the conversation effectively.

The Super Bowl Host Committee partnered with social media analytics company HootSuite and online marketing firm FSC Interactive to create the NASA Mission Control Center of social media. With several volunteers and banks of large computer monitors tracking all the trending topics and conversations surrounding New Orleans and the Super Bowl online, the social media team followed everything from NFL specifics to transit logistics in New Orleans.

The goal was to provide thousands of New Orleans visitors with direct customer service by tracking relevant social media conversations on several different platforms within a 10 mile radius.Volunteers could stream specific topics on Twitter and respond to visitor questions and concerns using the Super Bowl Host Committee’s Twitter handle (@NOLASuperBowl.) They were prepared to answer visitor queries, make restaurant recommendations, and even respond to crisis situations, if they came up.

“This was a collaboration between several local marketing firms,” said Tiffany Starnes, VP of FSC Interactive, who spent six months developing the strategy. “We wanted to find ways to best showcase what’s going on in New Orleans.”

User generated recommendations came directly from New Orleans residents, who used the hash tag ‘Best of NOLA’ to suggest some of their favorite places to eat, drink, and hang out. The call came from New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s Twitter account and the conversation quickly grew online to include topics such as jazz, live music, seafood, gumbo, and Magazine St.

A software program called Infomous gathered core elements and key words from the online conversations and turned them into visual elements. The most frequently used topics were identified on conversation clouds, even picking up some unlikely keywords, such as ‘relocating,’ using #BestofNOLA.

The social media command center was first created last year in Indianapolis by a local marketing firm to gather specifics for the NFL. However, this year was the first time social media was fully integrated into the Host Committee’s initiatives. With the command center headquartered at Super Bowl XLVII’s Media Center this year, members of the media were given the opportunity to walk through the space and check out the trending topics surrounding the teams, the city, and the big game.

“This was the next step in what felt like a natural evolution,” explained Matt Wolfe, a member of the technology committee. “Indy paved the way for us, and we are just paving the way for New York next year.”

Nearly 30% of tweets sent during the Super Bowl were about the ads—who got the most social bang for their buck? With brands investing a record $4 million for a 30-second spot, today’s infographic by digital agency WhisprGroup looks at how that ad spend translated into social ROI for brands—and who got the biggest social bang for its buck.

Here are some highlights from their research:

For every seven tweets about the game, there were two tweets about the ads

Highest positive sentiment scores: Tide (86%); Audi and Taco Bell (80%); Doritos (77%)

GoDaddy’s ad (model makes out with nerd) garnered 290,000 tweets (126,000 more than runner-up Budweiser), but only 14% were positive

Taco Bell scored more than 10,000 followers during the Big Game; GoDaddy added 1,100

It didn’t go so well for GoDaddy, but there was a clear winner of the Super Bowl 2013 Tweet Championship, based on highest scores in categories including tweet volume, positive sentiment, new followers, and ROI.

Super Bowl commercials aren’t typically about direct purchases. Brands run them to create awareness and buzz and to make us feel all soft and fuzzy towards them. Are advertisers are taking full advantage of the furious searching that happens post-game? Both Google Trends and Yahoo data show that even as we turned to Twitter in droves, we also, as in past years, flocked to the search engines.

Last year brought a record high of brands advertising their own websites. This year, that trend was down, replaced by hashtags. If the goal of a Super Bowl is to get people talking about you, how better to encourage that than to give a little nudge and a way for those talking to find each other.

But, brand confusion crept in online. Many online versions of the commercials sent viewers to different places than the TV versions, and the paid search ads sent searchers somewhere different still. Several brands had one owned site ranking in unpaid results, two different sites showing up in paid search results (at the same time!), and a different site still advertised in the ad.

This year, those searching for Super Bowl advertisers could mostly find them! The majority of brands bought paid search ads for their names, and half bought paid search ads for their advertised taglines. Every single advertiser other than Fast and Furious 6 had a website that ranked in the unpaid search results.

Chrysler Group LLC’s Ram brand chief says the automaker’s Super Bowl ad featuring the role of farmers in American life has been seen or shared on the Internet more than 10 million times.

The Auburn Hills automaker had promised on Sunday to donate to the Future Farmers of America $100,000 per 1 million times the “So God Made a Farmer” two-minute Super Bowl ad was seen, shared or emailed on its website with a target donation of $1 million. In less than five days, Chrysler has already hit the goal – just five days after the ad aired.

“It was really a cause of our marketing to honor the farmers of America and to wage a war in the fight against hunger,” Diaz said. “This far exceeded our expectations. We didn’t expect it to happen that soon. It took off and has taken a life of its own.”

Ram brand chief Fred Diaz said in an interview on the sidelines of the Chicago Auto Show that traffic to the Ram website has jumped 10 times more than normal since the Super Bowl.

Chrysler hired 10 photographers to document American farm life in the two-minute ad that featured a 1978 speech from the late radio journalist Paul Harvey on the importance of farmers.

Dealers are reporting that traffic has gone up at Ram showrooms “and sometimes just to go in and say, ‘Hey that spot that you did on the Super Bowl was so touching, made me cry.’”

The Baltimore Ravens weren’t the only winners at Super Bowl XLVII. One man and his Clydesdale also made quite an impression.

The latest Anheuser-Busch ad to feature the famed Clydesdales, this spot chronicled the relationship between a trainer and the horse he raised. According to USA Today’s Ad Meter, this was the most popular commercial of the night. As if the Ad Meter results weren’t enough kudos, the ad may have inspired Jose Canseco to get himself a horse.

Meanwhile, Patrick Rishe of Forbes singled out the Mercedes-Benz “Soul” ad as the best of the night. The star-studded spot featured Willem Dafoe, cast as the devil, along with Kate Upton and Usher. With the glamor quotient nearly as high as the RPMs in that auto ad, it’s no wonder that it garnered plenty of attention.

Another advertiser who went all out when it came to high-wattage players was Samsung, casting Apatow-regulars Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd in a comic sendup on Super Bowl ads — and the publicity-hungry marketers and stars who create them. In a game that brought its own special effects, with Beyonce’s electric halftime performance and the Superdome’s unexpected power outage, the commercials needed to have something special to stand out. Celebrity endorsers seemed a safe bet to pull that off.

Yahoo! included the Clydesdale ad and Samsung’s two-minute comedy bit in a list of the “buzziest ads” of the night but didn’t think Upton and Mercedes made the grade. Could the teaser and advanced release of the full-length commercial have hurt interest? That list did include a few of the night’s other notables, namely the Audi “Prom” commercial and Amy Poehler’s demanding trip to Best Buy.

As usual, there were several advertisers who thought less clothes would translate into more success. Whether it was Calvin Klein’s scantily-clad male model, the damsel in distress (and in a bikini) in the Axe commercial or GoDaddy’s long kiss between Bar Rafaeli and her nerdy match, the results were mixed for the ads built around sex appeal. Unless, of course, you count those M&M ads, which continue to be quite suggestive and quite successful. Perhaps symbolizing that this year’s top ads were a bit cleaner than in recent years, Tide finished second to the Clydesdale ad in the USA Today Ad Meter.

From the Clydesdale and Kia’s adorable “Space Babies” spot to Chrysler’s poignant homage to American farmers, here are some of the commercials that generated the most positive buzz during the Super Bowl. What was your favorite? How does the Super Bowl commercial class of 2013 stack up against last year’s favorites? Or the all-time classics?

Between the 108.7 million viewers and the $4 million price tag on a 30-second advertising spot, Super Bowl XLVII created the type of opportunity of which marketing miracles are made. According to Nielsen, this year’s event didn’t disappoint viewers, as several advertisers came up with innovative approaches to land on this year’s top 10 best-liked and most-remembered Super Bowl ads lists.

Doritos was this year’s creative MVP for the second year running, as the hilarious Goat 4 Sale ad earned both the most-liked and most memorable commercial mantles of Super Bowl XLVII. Doritos hasn’t strayed from the winning play it’s employed in the past, crowdsourcing its creative concept for the sixth year in a row. Doritos’ Goat 4 Sale wasn’t the only commercial that captured both the hearts and minds of viewers; in fact, eight of the top 10 most memorable ads also placed among the top 10 most liked.

Some of these other memorable favorites came from Taco Bell, Tide, Dodge (Ram), the NFL and America’s Milk Processors. Taco Bell’s Goodnight Mr. Goldblatt spot was also a hit with viewers, as it earned the distinguished honors of being the second most-memorable and third most-liked commercial. It was also the most tweeted about ad of this year’s big game, earning 215,000 tweets during the four-hour sports spectacle, according to SocialGuide.

GoDaddy, a three-year veteran of the most-remembered ads list, created some major buzz with its memorable yet polarizing make out scene. But if the Web hosting company’s creative drives a large increase in traffic to its Web site, as it has in years past, any mixed reviews the ad received may be a worthwhile sacrifice.

This year’s most-liked ads used different strategies to resonate with audiences. Good-natured humor and sentimental themes are staple strategies in every marketer’s playbook for effectively resonating with audiences. Doritos’ Goat 4 Sale and Princess Fashion Show ads illustrated how slapstick humor can be likeable and memorable without being in-your-face. Tide’s Miracle Stain spot took a silly, but family-friendly approach by featuring a man getting a Joe Montana-shaped stain on his jersey, only to have his wife (a Baltimore Ravens fan) wash it out. Budweiser, Dodge (Ram) and the NFL took sentimental approaches to connect with viewers: Budweiser’s Clydesdale & Trainer spot won over audiences with the endearing story of a trainer and the Clydesdale foal he raised to be a Budweiser Clydesdale being reunited after a few years apart; the Ram ad with the Paul Harvey voice over took a similar approach, tugging at viewer’s heartstrings by praising the power and spirit of American farmers; and the NFL thanked fans by sending their favorite NFL players to their houses to surprise them.

More Super Bowl hashtag winners

Last year, one in five brands included a hashtag in their Super Bowls ads. This year, 50% of the 52 national ads during the game featured hashtags. Clearly, an increasing number of today’s marketers understand that half of Twitter’s users use the platform while they watch TV, which means Twitter can keep the conversation around an ad going long after a 30-second spot is over.

In fact, on-air hashtags featured in this year’s ads were mentioned 300,000 times on Sunday alone. That’s a +273% increase over last year of ad-related hashtag mentions on game day. So what ad hashtags got people tweeting while they watched the game?

The #CrackinStyle ad by Wonderful Pistachios (@getcrackin) sparked the most Tweets immediately after airing. The ad stars Korean viral sensation Psy and racked up over 13,000 Tweets mentioning the hashtag in one minute. Apparently, people still love watching him get his ‘Gangnam Style’ on.

Speed Stick (@SpeedStick) highlighted the most, um, explicit of all hashtags. In its #HandleIt spot, @SpeedStick features a man getting caught “panty-handed” at the laundromat with a woman’s underwear. The voiceover invites viewers to “tweet your #HandleIt moment and also displays the call to action in prominent text on the screen. @SpeedStick retweeted responses that poured in during the game.

The most tweeted hashtag in an ad during the game: #Clydesdales in the “Brotherhood” ad by Budweiser (@Budweiser) with over 58,000 mentions. As in past years, the Super Bowl ad featured @Budweiser’s iconic horses and opened with the birth of a baby Clydesdale. The ad tugged at the heartstrings with the story of a lasting bond between a man and his horse set to the music of Fleetwood Mac.

When asked why it wasn’t completed before Super Sunday, The apps creator Ken Phipps of hyperdigitalinteraction Inc. said “Missed it by that much..”

Phipps said, “the app was rejected on Sunday evening, and we didn’t have time to make the requested changes, sorry folks… At least we have it ready early for Super Bowl XLVIII (2014)”

The game is over, the confetti has descended, and #RavensNation is celebrating their big victory. During the Sunday matchup between the @ravens and @49ers, the roar of the crowd was comprised of 24.1 million Tweets about the game and halftime show (this leaves aside the ads, about which more below). By the beginning of the second half, the volume of Tweets had already surpassed last year’s Tweet total.

The moments generating the biggest peaks of Twitter conversation (measured in Tweets per minute, or TPM) during the game:
- Power outage: 231,500 TPM
- 108-yard kickoff return for Ravens TD by Jones: 185,000 TPM
- Clock expires; Ravens win: 183,000 TPM
- Jones catches 56 yard pass for Ravens TD (end of 2nd quarter): 168,000 TPM
- Gore TD for 49ers: 131,000 TPM

Tonight’s most mentioned players were (in order): Ray Lewis (@Raylewis), Joe Flacco (@teamflacco), Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) and Jacoby Jones.

Whether they were inside the stadium or glued to screens elsewhere, athletes and commentators tweeted out their thoughts during the game’s big moments.

The other superstar on the field tonight was @Beyonce. Her halftime performance lit up Twitter (did it affect the Superdome power grid, we wonder?), generating 5.5 million Tweets. Fans’ favorites reflected by Tweet volume:
– Conclusion of her show: 268,000 TPM
- Destiny’s Child reunion on stage: 257,500 TPM
- Singing ‘Single Ladies’: 252,500 TPM

Illustrating just how fast advertisers moved in during the blackout: it took just four minutes for the first Promoted Tweet to appear against searches for [power outage] on Twitter. We’ll have more stats about the ads that ran during #sb47, including the results of our #AdScrimmage, later this week on the Twitter Advertising Blog.

According to Marketing Land, 26 of the 52 national Super Bowl ads mentioned Twitter in their spots. Considering that the Super Bowl generated 24 million tweets, that’s a smart bandwagon to jump on.

Unique Viewers Reach 3 Million, with 114.4 Million Minutes of Video Streams
Most Social Telecast Ever, According to Monitoring Services

The CBSSports.com, NFL.com and NFL Mobile from Verizon live stream of Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday set multiple viewership records for a single game sporting event in the United States and also made history as the most social telecast ever, according to data provided by Omniture and third-party monitoring firms.

Online, the CBSSports.com live stream of the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens attracted three million unique viewers to the Super Bowl XLVII video player, up 43 percent from Super Bowl XLVI. Viewers generated nearly 10 million live video streams, up more than 100 percent from last year, resulting in a record 114.4 million minutes streamed, which was up 46 percent over last year’s game.

Sunday also marked the largest recorded audience in CBSSports.com’s history, as viewers streamed the game live, watched Beyonce’s halftime performance (the first time a Super Bowl halftime performance has been streamed live online in the U.S.), viewed alternative camera angles, connected with friends and followers socially and watched broadcast commercials again on-demand.

In addition to viewership numbers, Super Bowl XLVII smashed the record for the most social event in the history of television, according to third-party research firms BlueFin, SocialGuide and Trendrr. Trendrr tracked more than 52.5 million social comments throughout the day, more than three times the numbers tracked for 2012′s Grammy Awards and Super Bowl XLVI, the previous top events.

“Our live stream of Super Bowl XLVII not only set online viewership and social-media records but set the standard for a second-screen sports experience,” said Jim Lanzone , President of CBS Interactive. “Our goal was to create an environment that would serve as the perfect complement to CBS Sports’ coverage of the game. We’re extremely proud of this historic experience.”

“This year’s record-setting engagement demonstrates that our fans are always looking for more ways to engage with NFL content,” said Hans Schroeder , NFL Senior Vice President of Media Strategy and Development.

CBS Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl XLVII (Feb. 3: 6:32-8:41 and 9:11-10:47 PM, ET) was watched in all-or-part (at least six minutes) by a record 164.1 million viewers.
