The Super Bowl is an excellent time for family and friends to bond over sports or maybe just an excuse to consume excessive amounts of snacks and yell at the TV (you choose).

Beyond personal experience, it is big business for marketing organizations. According to AdAge, a 30-second spot costs $7 million and is expected to reach 100 million viewers. That translates into $70 for every 1,000 viewers (CPM). AdStage benchmarked the median CPM at $41 in a 2019 study.

So if it is not the most cost-effective, it must certainly expand brand value. Let’s check 7 advertisers from 2022 and their Year-over-Year change in market capitalization to see if that rings true.

Budweiser (CPG) : (4%)
Amazon (Tech) : (35%)
T-Mobile (Telecom) : 19%
General Motors (Auto) : (19%)
Planet Fitness (Fitness) : (7%)
FTX (FinTech) : (100%) / Bankrupt
Rocket Mortgage (Banking) : (16%)

Excluding FTX, the average impact on market cap was (10%). Including FTX, it was (23%). Compared to the S&P 500 at (8%), a Super Bowl ad is not guaranteed to boost your brand.

There is good news in all of this. Zero insurers advertised in the 2022 Super Bowl.

And, if you are a new startup and you are still itching to pitch in a competition our Global InsurTech competition applications are open until February 10th. Best of all, making a video ad is totally optional.

Spotlight: Embedded Insurance Webinar with InsureMO

Embedded Insurance is expected to exceed $70B in GWP by 2030.

The challenge is today most embedded insurance offerings exist for non-complex lines of business like mobile phone warranties or mobility products. For embedded insurance to reach its full potential, it requires the right infrastructure and experience to build a working system.

Learn from Volvo Financial Services and InsureMo on how to build an embedded insurance system that works with more complex lines of business.
