Ad Review results ranking the most − and least − effective ads will be available immediately following the game on Sunday, Feb. 6
EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Between the interceptions and touchdowns on the field, Super Bowl advertisers also engage in a competitive match every February as they aim to attract consumers through 30-second ads for $3 million each. New and perennial advertisers, such as Anheuser-Busch, Best Buy, Pizza Hut, PepsiCo, Mercedes and Audi, to name a few, have ads slated to air on game day. This year, marketing professors and students from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University will discuss how these marketers are changing their strategies as the economy slowly rebounds.

Results will be available immediately following the broadcast. | ||
Who: | Two members of the Kellogg School marketing faculty, Professors Tim Calkins and Derek D. Rucker, will lead the Review once again, serving as non-biased resources as they provide analysis and address pressing topics about how advertisers perform on television's most watched event.
