Best 2008 Super Bowl Commercials - Results and Polls
It’s the morning after and commercial popularity results for the 2008 Super Bowl are being published. My personal favorite was the Budweiser “Rocky” commercial. Here is a rundown of various poll results:
The MediaCurve survey resulted in these top 3 2008 Super Bowl commercials:
1. Fed-Ex Ad: Pigeons
2. Budweiser Ad: Rocky
3. Coca Cola Ad: Balloons
(Bridgestone ranked 5th.)
USA Today’s Ad Meter (which also directly measures interest) ranking the top 3 to be:
1. Budweiser: Dalmatian trains Clydesdale to make beer wagon team.
2. FedEx: FedEx beats giant carrier pigeons.
3. Bridgestone: Critters scream with squirrel missed by car.
(Coca Cola ranked 7th.)
Web Strategist Jeremiah Owyang conducted a social networking poll through Twitter.com. There were over 2,500 respondents. He’s posted a spreadsheet, but no rankings as of yet.
Here are some additional Super Bowl Commercials polls that are still running:
- YouTube Adblitz: The winning commercial will be posted on the YouTube front page 2/12.
- AOL’s Poll runs for a week: http://sports.aol.com/nfl/superbowlads
- Students at Northwestern University are running a Super Bowl study (No word on when the results will be published).
- The University of South Carolina School of Mass Communications is also currently conducting a Super Bowl Ads poll (no details about timing of published results).
