Cheetos, Hyundai & Doritos Top Ace Metrix’s Lists of Top Super Bowl Ads


LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ace Metrix, the leader in measuring the impact of video creative, tonight released its roundup of standout Super Bowl LIV ads based on several effectiveness measures. Results originate from consumer generated data, where at least 500 US viewers survey each ad. The top ads epitomize the night’s lighthearted tone, with entertaining, celebrity-filled spots seeing the most success across the board.

"The Super Bowl represents the pinnacle of video advertising, but also poses a risk for brands.  This year's Super Bowl ads took a lightweight approach -- listening to message-fatigued viewers in a highly polarized society,” said Peter Daboll, Ace Metrix CEO. 

He continued, “Additionally, many brands successfully integrated products and celebrity talent into their storylines, creating high entertainment value and memorable product connection -- good for the viewer; good for the brand."
