Welcome back to another episode of The Sleeping Barber Podcast!

Super Bowl 59 may be over, but the ads are still making waves! Today, we’re joined by Vanessa Chin, SVP at System1, to break down the intricacies of Super Bowl advertising.

We analyze four standout ads and explore how they scored across Star, Spike, and Fluency, diving into key topics like:

- The effectiveness of creative quality

- The power of emotional responses in advertising

- The role of pre-testing in shaping winning ad strategies

Tune in for an insightful discussion on what makes a Super Bowl ad truly resonate!
