Social Justice Messages in a Super Bowl Ad
This year’s pricey Super Bowl Ad spots did not deter some brands to advertise their social responsibility messages for social change. The ad spots came at the high price of $5.6 million dollars, and that’s just for a thirty second spot! Yet, social justice messages flooded the Big Game’s Ads in 2020 reflective of the times – sans political slants – and Socially Sparked® our lives.
Like many brands, Socially Sparked News went on hiatus from covering last year’s Supber Bowl Commercials – a tradition stemming back to when we were a standalone blog on AbbeSparksMedia.com.
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.
