SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 11, 2016) - TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), the source of second-by-second data insight into the most-watched commercials and moments during the Super Bowl , today released the top Super Bowl commercials of all time, incorporating insights from the Research & Consulting division of Vision Critical, provider of the leading cloud-based customer intelligence platform. Budweiser s "Puppy Love" commercial from 2014 ranked the highest across both men and women, as well as across age groups spanning from 18 to 64, indicating that more emotional commercials that involve animals and children are the most popular across demographics. In addition to these findings, TiVo Research will pull the top moments and commercials from this year s Super Bowl and will release this data on Feb. 8, 2016.
Analyzing the top 10 advertisements, TiVo found the presence of animals or children to be a common theme contributing to the success of these spots. These commercials delivered the strongest likeability across all age demographics and genders. The top ten commercial spots over the last 50 years include:
1. Budweiser: Puppy Love
2. Budweiser: Lost Dog
3. Volkswagen Passat: The Force
4. Coca-Cola: Mean Joe Greene
5. Doritos Nacho Cheese: Sling Baby
6. Budweiser: 9-11
7. Snickers: You re Not You...
8. Doritos: Pug Attack
9. Doritos: Cowboy Kid
10. Budweiser: Designated Driver
"Every year, Super Bowl advertisements are a compelling piece of the game for fans. As the price of these commercials has continued to explode over the past 50 years, so has their popularity," said Tara Maitra, TiVo s Senior Vice President, General Manager Content & Media Sales. "Now, more than ever, brands are laser-focused on cutting through the noise and making a lasting impression -- TiVo provides insights on exactly what best resonates with viewers."
Additional Key Findings
1. Arguably one of the most famous ads of all time, Apple s 1984 ad, did not make it to the top ten with those polled.
2. The third most popular ad with females was Volkswagen s "The Force," and the third most popular ad with males was Coca-Cola s "Mean Joe Greene."
3. Overall, beer and snack advertisers had the most likeable of the top 100 ads, including Budweiser, Snickers, Doritos and M&Ms.
TiVo Research is the only audience research service using second-by-second viewership data to rank top Super Bowl spots based on actual commercial retention relative to overall program viewership. TiVo will be releasing its 14th annual audience measurement report for all game-day action of Super Bowl 50, including the game s top moments and most popular commercials, at 7 a.m. EST on Monday, February 8, 2016.
Methodology
To better understand which of the most recent top 100 Super Bowl Ads appear to be the most liked, TiVo partnered with the Research and Consulting Division of Vision Critical to determine the top ten Super Bowl commercials throughout the last 50 years. TiVo compiled a list of the top 100 commercials from the company s "Top Ten Super Bowl" reports issued over the last 13 years, as well as classic older spots since the first televised Super Bowl. Vision Critical then asked members of its "Voice of Market" Springboard America community to view and evaluate the commercials in a ten-wave study conducted over four weeks, from October 19, 2015 to November 16, 2015. In each wave, a representative U.S. sample of people ages 18 to 64 was exposed to ten ads. Following each ad, members were asked about recall of the ad and ad likeability. The top ads are defined as those with the highest mean likeability. The average sample size for each wave was 944 people, representative of the U.S. population by age, gender, ethnicity and income. Additional details about this study and other TiVo research activities are available from TiVo Research at info@tivoresearch.com.
