Kellogg School of Management Faculty Available to Discuss Super Bowl XLV Ads
Kellogg School Super Bowl Advertising Review Returns for Seventh Year
EVANSTON, Ill. Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- To the surprise of many, all of the 2011 Super Bowl ad spots have sold out at an estimated $3 million per 30-second slot. Not only is this a strong economic indicator but a sign that the Super Bowl is still an unrivaled and competitive venue for brands. As many new and perennial advertisers prepare to compete for consumers' attention leading up to and during Super Bowl XLV, faculty from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University are available to discuss how marketers are changing their strategies as the economy slowly rebounds.

Marketing faculty and students will convene in Evanston, Ill. to watch the event, rate the advertisers using a set of academic criteria known as ADPLAN and produce a final ranking of the most – and least – successful advertisers. Leading up to Super Bowl XLV, Professors Tim Calkins and Derek Rucker are available to discuss advertising trends, strategies and predictions related to this year's big game, including:
