The 2024 Super Bowl generated an ironic achievement. It was blessed with an estimated record number of 120.3 million TV viewers on CBS alone, according to Nielsen. However, a seven-year longitudinal study by Bottom-Line Analytics (BLA), an advanced analytics and market mix modeling firm, shows that this year’s Super Bowl ads were the weakest in a decade.

Bottom-Line Analytics has worked with ABX Advertising Benchmark Index™ for all Super Bowl advertising effectiveness scores over the past 11 years. The ABX Index, a composite score of the most critical of 14 KPIs, is based on its 425,000 tested ads globally. Toplines revealed that Super Bowl 2024 ads were:

  1. No better than sponsors’ ads at other times of the year.
  2. Thirty-five times more costly than the normal national :30 spot.
  3. Less likely to motivate viewers to buy the advertised products.
  4. Unlikely to generate a positive ROI for the advertisers.

The 2024 Super Bowl audience was more diverse than in past events, with more Gen Z (age 18-24) and female viewers. The record number of under-performing ads was likely due to a failure to speak clearly to, and engage, this broader audience. 

To beat this trend, prospective advertisers should: Weigh the costs carefully; make sure visual and audio creative clearly link to the Brand; pre-test and re-test against In-Market ads for Message Clarity; place Calls-to-Action and Brand Logos early and often; and be mindful of audience diversity.
