The Super Bowl effect continues to send ripples across social media and as this year’s event nears, it has been revealed that VW’s 2011 spot ‘The Force’ maintains its title as the most-shared Super Bowl commercial of all time.
Can adland down under perhaps learn from the top 10 list of most shared Super Bowl ads of all time and what exactly were the key creative concepts that won the most eyeballs?
According to data issued by video ad technology company Unruly, car maker VW's TVC, which features a mini Darth Vader, has attracted more online shares across social media than any other Super Bowl sponsor’s commercial (5,279,772).
Budweiser claims three of the top four most shared Super Bowl ads of all time. Its tribute to the victims of 9/11 from Super Bowl 2002, featuring the famous Clydesdale horses, is the beer company’s most shared Super Bowl ad to-date, attracting 3,480,685 million shares and comes in at number two on the list.
Third on the rundown is “Brotherhood” which was the most-shared commercial from the 2013 Super Bowl. The most popular ad from last year’s Super Bowl, Budweiser’s “Puppy Love”, is in fourth place after attracting more than two million shares.
Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures also make it into the top 10, with two trailers from the Fast and the Furious franchise (#6 and #9) and one from Star Trek (#10), respectively. Memorable spots from Ram Trucks (#5), a ‘trackvert’ from Chevrolet featuring OK GO (#7) and Volkswagen’s “The Bark Side” (#8) also make it on to the list.
