The truth is that the Super Bowl moves a lot of money and advertising during its celebration is not exactly cheap.

Despite the prices and the global crisis, the chain that broadcasts the sporting event -ViacomCBS- claimed to have sold all the spaces, without giving more details of the prices that have moved this year.

Among the advertisers who have dared with Super Bowl 2021 are: Amazon, Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade, Doritos, Cheetos, Oatly, Anheuser Busch-InBev, Uber Eats, General Motors, Toyota, M & M’s, Cadillac, among others.

There is a price tag and then all the negotiations that continue after that, “he explained to the medium Tim Calkins, a clinical professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. “I don’t think the Super Bowl is less important as a marketing platform. It means that this year is so difficult for many companies. Many are saying: ‘We don’t think it’s time‘”, has added.
