Eminem's Lipton Iced Tea Ad Most Polarizing Ad of the Super Bowl, According to Ace Metrix
LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Ace
Metrix , the authority in television advertising effectiveness, said
today that Eminem's Ad for Lipton Iced Tea was the most polarizing ad of
the Super Bowl, despite its stand-alone placement within a commercial
break. The ad, which also ranked as the 8th least
effective ad of the game with an overall Ace Score** of 476,
appealed strongly to males 21-to-35 (Ace Score 667), but not to women 50
and older (Ace Score 355) or men 50 and older (Ace Score 383).
"To say ads with a high level of polarity are not cost effective for an
event like the Super Bowl is a huge understatement," said Peter Daboll,
CEO of Ace Metrix. "While highly polarizing ads may resonate well with a
specific demographic target, the Super Bowl viewing audience is diverse
and broad, and at $3 million a pop, appealing to a small sliver of the
vast Super Bowl audience is inefficient and not cost effective. Further,
if an ad actually has negative impact with some groups, it makes the ad
even less effective."
Winning Ads for Women and Men
The top 8 Most
Effective Super Bowl Ads, which were marked by a preponderance of
snack and soda ads, appealed strongly to both males and females.
"Outside of these overall leaders, the list becomes more interesting, as
different ads rise to the top in appealing to individual genders,"
Daboll said. "Women's Attention, Likeability, and Change scores were
particularly high for Verizon's 'Beautiful, Intelligent, Genius' ad that
touted the strength of the Verizon network over AT&T. High scores for
men within these same categories drove the effectiveness rating for
Volkswagen's 'Black Beetle' ad."

"Notably, not a single beer ad made it within the Top 15 overall ads or
within the Top 15 most effective ads for women or men-quite a sea change
from years past," Daboll commented.
Note: The measure of ad effectiveness is a more robust measure
than mere popularity and takes into account such criteria as an ad's
watchability, likeability, relevance, information, persuasiveness,
ability to alter opinion, and ability to create desire.
