Bridging the Gap Between Offline and Online Advertising: A Super Bowl Case Study
Super Bowl commercials are prime advertising opportunities, with companies spending millions on these highly coveted spots. Yet, many advertisers miss the mark by not seamlessly integrating their TV ads with their online presence.
The Disconnect
Super Bowl 40 (or XL) offered a lineup of big names like Budweiser, GoDaddy, Pepsi, and Coke showcasing their ads. However, a surprising oversight was apparent: aside from GoDaddy, few linked their television ads to online platforms.
For instance, a visit to the Pepsi, Coke, or Budweiser websites before the game showed no mention of their Super Bowl campaigns. Pizza Hut made a slight effort by promoting a giveaway involving Jessica Simpson's commercial boots, but this was an exception rather than the rule.
In today's cross-platform marketing landscape, it's surprising that these companies didn't capitalize on their websites to generate buzz or continue the conversation before, during, and after the Super Bowl.
Missed Opportunities
The transition from TV to online is crucial; it ensures that advertising messages are reinforced across multiple channels. A few companies, like Geico, demonstrate how it's done. Their website prominently features their TV mascot, the Gecko, creating consistency between platforms.
Unfortunately, others like Coke and Pepsi merely maintain their branding without reflecting current TV promotions. This lack of integration reduces the residual value of the commercials, making them isolated entertainment rather than part of a cohesive marketing strategy.
Embracing the Web
With TV shows increasingly collaborating with web platforms like AOL and Yahoo!, it's puzzling that advertisers lag behind. This gap might stem from the marketing industry's hesitation about the full potential of online platforms.
Many marketing executives remain skeptical about online marketing, despite its trackability compared to TV ads. Online campaigns, whether SEO or paid, offer measurable outcomes in terms of visitors, impressions, and conversions. In contrast, TV campaigns rely on estimated reach.
A Call to Action
To any Super Bowl advertisers reading this: consider integrating your TV ad campaigns with your websites. The synergy between offline and online advertising can enhance engagement and maximize your marketing investment. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
