INSIGHT TOP AD HASHTAGS MOST MENTIONED (TWITTER)
Among the ten brands analyzed, Taco Bell was the brand most associated
with Super Bowl mentions, with 31% of the total share of voice, followed
by Doritos and Budweiser with 22% and 19%, respectively. Hashtags were
far more common in this year’s Super Bowl ads, with 50% of ads featuring
a Twitter callout. Budweiser’s “Clydesdales” ad (featuring #Clydesdales)
helped to push their Twitter handle follower growth by 445%.
Some brands (not included in this list) earned praise for their quick
action by posting blackout-themed ads during the unexpected 34-minute
stoppage. Oreo and Tide were two such brands, and their two blackout-
related tweets (which were posted while fans waited for the game
to resume) generated a combined total of 17,092 RTs and over
100,000,000 impressions from these two tweets alone.
