The week leading up to the Big Game is one of the most exciting times for marketers looking to promote their brand's most innovative football-related campaign. For $4.5 million per 30-second slot, brands have to make sure their commercials make a lasting impact. Though the usual auto front-runner, Volkswagen, has opted out of this year's advertisement extravaganza, newcomers like Nissan hope to leave a mark on consumers.

Clay Darrohn, CEO and Big Tuna at fishbat, an award winning online marketing firm in New York, says the key to creating a brilliant ad is knowing the brand's target market inside and out. "Marketers and advertising professionals have to know completely understand the target market in order to create an impactful ad," he says. "Bud Light is great at understanding its audience, which is why its 'Up for Whatever' campaign works so well."

Darrohn lists the top three brands to watch during this year's Big Game:

  1. Budweiser. As an ultimate Big Game veteran, Budweiser knows how to stay traditional while tugging at the consumer's heartstrings. Following in last year's "Puppy Love" footsteps, Budweiser is releasing a new commercial featuring its iconic Clydesdales and Labrador puppy. "Last year, Budweiser had the most-shared ad of all time," Darrohn says. "To keep the momentum, and satisfy the lovers of last year's commercial, Budweiser went with a similar theme. It's a great example of an age old principle, give the people what they love!"
  2. Bud Light. Bud Light's latest installment of its "Up for Whatever" campaign unveils an homage to the 1980s classic video game, Pac Man. "The brands demographic includes colleges kids to people in their early thirties," he says. "Bud Light knows that most of its target demographic is still in its prime partying days, so creating a commercial that showcases the most outrageous night out is sure to gain some attention."
  3. Doritos. Doritos, partnered with Universal Pictures, launched a campaign to "Crash the Super Bowl" last fall. Fans from all over the world were asked to submit their best 30-second ads to be featured during the game. Users were prompted to vote on 10 finalists by Jan. 28. The winners not only get an ad in the Big Game, but they also win $1 million and a job at Universal Pictures. "This is a prime example of how engaging contests increase buzz and put an innovative spin on advertising," Darrohn says.
