 Ad Agency Feature: Super Bowl Ads Monday Morning Quarterbacking 
A longtime tradition, SHOOT sounds out creatives whose agencies did not have spots on this year’s Super Bowl to get their assessments of what worked, what didn’t & trends this year’s crop of Big Game ads.
Super Sunday 2021 looms as the most challenging ever for brands, agencies and production companies given the pandemic. While some significant advertisers won't be returning this year, others are entering for the first time showing the Big Game figures to again deliver a mega audience, which is increasingly rare in this era of media fragmentation.
Will a comedy ad seem tone deaf with hundreds of thousands of Americans dead from the coronavirus? On the flip side, a somber commercial could come across as depressing during a time when there’s quite a bit to be down about. Finding the right tone from such options as humorous, lighthearted, socially conscious and/or inspirational gives the creative community a delicate balancing act to maintain. 
Just as there will no stadium packed with fans, the Super Bowl audience across the country will also be different in that big parties and social gatherings tied to the game figure to be few and far between--at least among those who take the warnings of epidemiologists and frontline healthcare professionals seriously. So we will be apart socially making for a tough audience to connect with. Or perhaps it’s a golden creative opportunity as the Super Bowl can allow us to put aside differences for a few hours and just enjoy the game, rooting for a team while in the big picture for a change feeling like we’re all on the same team.
Our lineup of experts will analyze how the industry did; included are:
>Daniel Andersson, co-chief creative officer, FutureBrand
>Stephen Clements, chief creative officer, YML
>Jonathan Cude, chief creative officer, McKinney
>Erica Fite, co-founder and co-chief creative officer, Fancy
>Barney Goldberg, executive creative director INNOCEAN
>Betsy Jemas, executive creative director, Organic
>Stephen Niedzwiecki, chief creative office, Yard NYC
>Jonathan Schoenberg, executive creative director/partner, TDA Boulder
>Melissa Tresidder, creative director, Preston Kelly
>More names TBA
