According to ROI projection analysis conducted by Front Row Marketing Services, a naming rights marketing and sponsorship research firm and a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based sports and entertainment company Comcast-Spectacor, Cadillac received over $23.2 million of exposure, from its post-game and Super Bowl MVP sponsorship, during the Super Bowl XLI television broadcast, while Halftime Report sponsor Blockbuster- Total Access garnered $6.7 million of exposure.
Eric Smallwood, VP of Marketing and Research for Front Row Marketing Services said, “Even with all of the hype around the commercials, Cadillac and Blockbuster maximized their advertising dollars with unique in-broadcast content.” Smallwood continued, “Both companies benefited from exposure in other countries as well, the game aired on GLOBAL TV in Canada, provided the Canadian viewers with the entire Blockbuster halftime report and in-game promos for the Cadillac Post Show.”
Based on the $2.6 Million cost of a 30-second commercial spot during CBS’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLI and the $1.6 Million estimated cost for a 30-second commercial spot during the Cadillac Post Game Show, it is projected that Cadillac received an estimated one minute and 45 seconds of in-broadcast exposure during the game broadcast and four minutes and 51 seconds during the Post Game Show. Broadcast media exposure for Cadillac came from in-stadium signage, on-camera car display, on-screen graphics and verbal mentions.
Blockbuster- Total Access received $6.7 million of in-broadcast exposure from its various signage elements related to its sponsorship of the Halftime Report. Blockbuster- Total Access received an estimated one minute and 35 seconds of in-broadcast exposure during the broadcast, from desk signage, on-screen graphics and verbal mentions.
