Pringles Will Run a Spot in the 2021 Super Bowl
 
 

Yes, it's Super Bowl season already. Pringles is back in the Super Bowl for the fourth consecutive year. Let's do a quick trip down memory lane. Past renditions of its $5 million dollar ad buy include:

  • Pringles debuted the concept of "flavor stacking" with an ad starring Bill Hader in 2018. [Watch it.]
  • An Alexa-like device became self-aware (and very sad) about its inability to experience flavor stacking. [Watch it.]
  • Last Super Bowl, the brand partnered with Rick and Morty to deliver one of the better spots in the game. [Watch it.]

Stay on top of all the ads: Bookmark our Super Bowl Tracker to get the latest updates on which brands are in the game.

Discovery Won’t Limit Number of Discovery+ Marketers For New Streamer
 

How many different ways can you launch a streaming service? For Discovery+, the streamer isn't trying to be Netflix. It's targeting Disney+. But Disney+ doesn't have ads—and Discovery+ will. So in that vein, it may be a bit more like Hulu. But Hulu's original shows aren't an extension of its brand like Discovery+ shows will be. That makes it a bit more like Peacock. But Peacock is limiting the number of advertisers.

The point of differentiation media buyers care about: Discovery+ is going to accommodate as many advertisers as it can for a lineup of original shows and library authentic to Discovery's stable of networks.

Analysis: Get a breakdown of what you can expect from Discovery+'s advertising opportunities.
