It’s Super Bowl Sunday — the biggest marketing stage of the year.
Some people tune in for the game… but many are just as excited for the commercials. And there’s a reason for that. Super Bowl ads aren’t random. They’re designed with psychology in mind — to make you: --laugh --feel something --remember a brand --talk about it with others Brands know exactly how to tap into: ✔ nostalgia (reliving memories) ✔ humor (making you laugh so you associate that good feeling with the product) ✔ stories (emotionally engaging moments that stick with you) ✔ surprise and spectacle (something unexpected that gets you talking) Some run cute celeb nostalgia (think reimagined sitcom stars), others hit the heartstrings with stories of friendship or family moments — and even the bizarre ones are designed to make you talk, share, and remember. Here’s a question I want you to reflect on tonight: 👉🏾 What commercials or brands pull on your emotions — through language, imagery, or word play — and why do you think that works on you? Do you notice:🔹 nostalgia🔹 humor🔹 fear of missing out🔹 connection to identity🔹 aspirational visuals or celebrity influence🔹 emotional storytelling? Drop a few examples below and tell us what feelings they tapped into. This ain’t just about ads…It’s about understanding how influence works — because the same principles that make you buy a product also shape your food choices, habits, and beliefs. Let’s unpack it together. 💚
