Brand’s Super Bowl Successes Revealed…Before Ads Are Seen

super_bowl_xliii_logo.jpg

As the organization has done seven years running, Brand Keys is out with their latest Super Bowl Engagement Survey, a study which predicts which brands are likely to see the highest returns on their Super Bowl advertising endeavors.

Conducted among 1,500 men and women ages 18 to 65 who said they will be watching the game, the study found Denny’s, Hyundai and Budweiser are likely to see the greatest return.

Explaining the rationale behind the study, Brand Keys Founder and President said, “Day-after creative reviews are always interesting. There’s a high ‘Water Cooler Effect’. But advertisers should remember that ‘buzz’ comes in two frequencies: positive and negative. ‘Wasn’t that terrible?’ and ‘What were they trying to say?’ were never phrases that appeared in the strategic or creative brief,”

Hmm.

So…basically this is a study of people’s existing perceptions and level of fan boy love for a brand and nothing to do with one-off, $3 million dollar creative orgasms.

Or, it’s a pretty good indicator of which brands should just give it up and stop trying to foist the same old crap on us year after year. We’re looking at you, GoDaddy.

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
