To be perfectly honest, I pay absolutely no attention to these ads and when I actually watch the Super Bowl (which is rarely) I do other things during the ad breaks and half-time show. So they are wasted on me.

Wow, this must have cost a ton to make as well.

No, this would not make me use Wix for a website, but it would make me want to find that chef and try some of his food! Which is supposed to make me want to use the website that made him famous, but it wouldn't.

I love the ads. And I imagine the market researchers for these companies can attribute a commensurate boost in sales that exceeds the cost for those ads or they wouldn't buy them.
Any ad where Jason Statham is beating up the place works for me, by the way.

It takes money to make money and just the free press from being over the top with a good ad or just the sheer size of the budget. The cost divided by the eyeballs and eardrums you get in the right demographic is everything. Two ads, frequency increases the retention. If they stand out and are good ads. "What are you wearing Jake from state farm... ahhh khakis. She sounds like a guy.." We relive the ads and study, like the good marketing right?

I like what Heinz did this year.  No commercial.  All the money they would have spent on it goes to the employees with the day off they gave the company on the day after the super bowl.  I saw it on Good Morning America.

That's smart marketing and a great employee benefit.

They must be worth it since companies continue to compete for the spots year after year. If they go viral it can be great exposure. This particular ad does not compel me to use wix. I agree with Michael, the ease of the site got lost in too much action. -Kasey

My friend worked at an online business training company-earning credentials. It had more employees than students. During the Super Bowl, it spent $1M+ on advertisement. The inquiries overwhelmed the system. A few signed up but never paid for.   A month later the entire marketing dept received their pink slip together. It produced zilch result.

I kind of think they wasted their money on this ad. By trying to impress and win some kind of Super Bowl ad competition, they missed the mark on the ease of building a website with Wix.

If I were in a website mindset, of course it would.  Such branding has proven effective since the day Madison Avenue earned a reputation.

I would go to WIX.com, CREATE a FREE Website, and if I didn't go crazy in the process, submit my credit card number.
