Oreo - You can still dunk in the dark

In 2013, Oreo changed its marketing strategy and tried getting more involved with its audience with the help of Super Bowl. Popular cookie managed to cream their social media activation with a sprinkle of smartness and by bringing crispness to their social media platforms, with a punch of puns and fancy statements.

McDonalds - King of Super bowl  

McDonald’s social media campaign managed to be the most engaging advertiser creating 475,268 impressions. In their super bowl commercial, McDonalds announced that between 2nd -14th February, they will accept ‘lovin’ as a form of payment. This was carried with the sole reason to grab their audience’s attention using innovative and unique techniques.

Doritos - Crash the Super Bowl
For the 9th consecutive year, Doritos bought Super Bowl spots for the 2015 game and showcased their Crash the Super Bowl contest. They received almost 4900 consumer-created short ads from 29 countries around the world and asked their audience to vote for their favourites on Facebook. Their strategy targets two different audiences at the same time, online and offline. With their crashing and engaging campaign, Doritos got the attention they wanted from their audience.
