Going Deep with Donnovan Bennett

The Art of Super Bowl Ads + Halftime Show Performances

Episode Summary

With Super Bowl 59 in the books, Donnovan turns his attention to the secondary (but just as important) aspect of the big game: ads and the halftime show. For the first, Donnovan brings back Susan Charles (3:02), Brand Strategy Lead for YouTube Canada, for her yearly recap of advertisements - which spots are audiences going back to watch? What were the themes in this year's commercials? Afterwards, Donnovan chats with Sheri Lambert (24:58), Associate Professor of Marketing at Temple University, to discuss the halftime show - they chat about how the performance has become a cultural phenomenon, and what kind of value artists derive from the show. Plus, to wrap up, Donnovan and Sho discuss Kendrick Lamar's performance itself and which performers could take the stage in the future (38:38).
