With its latest Super Bowl buy, Cars.com will mark its fifth consecutive appearance in the NFL title game.

“Advertising during the largest television event of the year has been a successful awareness-building strategy for us over the last four years,” said Mitch Golub, president of Cars.com. “We see this year’s commercial as another important investment in our brand.”

The Cars.com spot will be developed by DDB Chicago, the site’s agency of record.
