The 2012 Super Bowl was a great success, not only for the teams playing, but also for all of the companies who paid millions of dollars to run commercials during the game. This year’s Super Bowl ads reflected a variety of themes and topics, ranging from humorous to serious and everything in between. Not only did these ads entertain viewers during the game, but they also achieved their respective brands’ objectives in terms of engaging viewers and gaining mass exposure.
