Online marketers are preparing to utilize Super Bowl LVIII’s Las Vegas setting to the max. Online marketers are surpassing the typical on-the-ground fare and using what the city needs to provide by presenting teasers on the Sphere, more experiential occasions and utilizing the city’s landmarks and impersonator skill to extend their Big Game marketing efforts.
Hellmann’s, for instance, ended up being the very first Unilever brand name to promote on the Sphere recently with its activation including the star of its Big Game advertisement, Mayo Cat. The brand name did so to “get more buzz and talk worth” around the brand name’s Super Bowl effort, described Audrey Melofchik, international primary brand name experience officer, VML, including the appeal of the Sphere, extending the marketing effort to the city makes good sense offered the tourist around Vegas.

As brand names attempt to get more out of the Big Game and utilize the Vegas setting to its maximum, it’s another example of how Super Bowl efforts need to extend far beyond an advertisement to matter now.
