So, as I have been complaining about the Superbowl on all forms of media, you can check out my latest YouTube video here. I would like to talk about one of the advertisements. GoldieBlox competed in a contest run by Intuit that paid for a 30 second Superbowl commercial. It cost Intuit, according to Forbes, roughly 4 million dollars. We all know that the Superbowl is one of the most watched television specials in the United States, so a company paying for a small business to have a Superbowl advertisement is amazing. I noticed that advertisement very quickly when I was watching the Superbowl. Mostly because it wasn’t one of the many beer and car commercials. I am glad to see that a company like GoldieBlox is able to get off the ground and that they were able to create a controversy-free advert. They used Quiet Riot’s Cum on Feel the Noise instead of the Beastie Boys song Girls. It will take a little more time to see if this ad equates to sales, but I and the rest of the world saw this advertisement. I am sure it will do nothing but good for a brand that is truly looking to do something good for girls.
