Why are these 30-second ads so expensive? Well, the simple answer can be derived from the numbers. Take a look at the viewership of the last Super Bowl game. 113 million viewers tuned in to watch MVP Patrick Mahomes and the dynastic Kansas City Chiefs take down Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. Hence, a company has a lot to gain by taking out a multimillion-dollar ad during such a popular game.
Michelle R. Martinelli of "For The Win" once said (via USA Today):
"When advertisers know over 100 million people are tuning in, they are willing to pay up to run a Super Bowl commercial and hope it will be the one fans can’t stop talking about the next day".
The Super Bowl advertisement costs will only get more expensive in the coming years, especially with the rise of social media and the potential for a nicely crafted ad to go viral.
