Budweiser’s Safe Driving Advice Commercial

Budweiser, that has earlier released a campaign for NFL playoffs with the messaging Act Like It, has a message for Super Bowl fans. The commercial 60 second spot featuring Dame Helen Lydia Mirren has a message that warns the audiences about drunk driving. Setting the message apart from, the typical drunk driving PSA, Budweiser has called on fans to #GiveADamn and protect their lives and the lives of others.

According to AdAge, “The 60-second spot by Anomaly represents the first time Anheuser-Busch has run an anti-drunk driving ad in the game since 2005, according to the brewer. That year a spot by DDB Chicago showed Cedric the Entertainer doing a designated driver dance.”

Skittles’ Rocks The Rainbow

Skittles, released the Super bowl spot featuring Steve Tyler, that spins a story around Rocking the Rainbow where lips do the talking. According to Media Post “Marking its second return to Super Bowl advertising, Skittles will run “Portrait” in the second quarter. Continuing with the quirkiness factor, the 30-second as stars Steven Tyler critiquing a portrait of himself made of Skittles. The picture sings, but not to Tyler’s level of satisfaction. As the picture sings “Dream On,” Tyler insists that the picture hit a higher note. Once the note is hit, the portrait cracks, Skittles fall everywhere, but the picture still sings.”
