Super Bowl XLIII – Buzz or Bust in a Down Economy

It has become an annual SFAMA tradition. Each year, our crack panel of advertising and marketing experts explores what $2.7 million (last year’s figure), 30-second spots made an impact on our national psyche. We’ll look at the good, the bad and the ridiculously overpriced and decide whether you can capitalize on any of the marketing trends to come out of this year’s Super Bowl ad blitz.
