Hyundai Confirms Super Bowl LIV Advertising
- New 60-Second Spot to Run in the Second Quarter of the Game
- Previous Acclaimed Spots Covered a Spectrum of Topics from New Products to Brand Messaging to Corporate Social Responsibility
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America, who has set the standard in automotive Super Bowl advertising over the past decade, will be back with an in-game spot for the 12th time in the past 13 years. Hyundai will again aim to make a connection with consumers with a new 60-second ad that will run in the second quarter of the game.
"Despite the significant changes in consumers' media habits, the Super Bowl still stands on its own as the best way to reach a sizeable and engaged audience looking to be entertained by brands," said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. "Our goal is to strike an emotional connection with consumers and make them feel something. It's a challenge we embrace, and after starting with 344 original scripts, we've landed on what we think will be another standout for Hyundai."
Hyundai has a long and successful history in producing memorable Super Bowl advertising. In the most recognized barometer of advertising success, the USA Today Ad Meter, Hyundai has consistently ranked among the most popular spots. And, according to Ace Metrix, Hyundai has ranked in the top 10 of commercials the last seven times it advertised during the game, including the top spot in 2017 and 2019.
Highlights from previous Hyundai campaigns include:
