THE SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES in ADS*

The 2020 commercials are reflective of the new decade and the pressing global issues as well as the U.S. domestic social and political climate. Advertisers didn’t miss this beat as many of the ads reflect a lighter tone, humor and old school comfort to address these very issues. (Snickers fix the world as the solution to the world’s problems and Heinz find the goodness featuring four.)

THE ISSUES:

A few of the issues highlighted during this year’s Big Game included: Diversity, Equality, Gun Violence, Kindness, Environment, Farmland, Space and Girls Who Code, Next Gen Leaders, Caring, Alzheimer’s, Women Leaders, Family and Cancer.
