5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Forget About Mobile When Crafting Your Super Bowl Strategy

The Super Bowl is a staple in American culture. Although the Super Bowl is largely taken in through TV, it has experienced a huge lift in streamed viewership. Last year, Super Bowl LI was the most live-streamed game to date, bringing in an average of 1.7 million viewers per minute–up 23% from last year. With the high cost of commercials during the game, supplementing your strategy with mobile advertising is key to ensuring campaign success; especially considering the recent research showing that mobile video is more effective than TV.

1. Since 2015, there has been a 224% increase in viewers streaming the game.
2. Phone usage on Super Bowl Sunday increased between 7-10% in comparison to previous Sundays.
3. There was a 30% increase in mobile usage in the first half of the game.
4. The average cost for a 30-second commercial was $5 million in 2017.
5. Over 70% of viewers experience the game across both mobile and TV, while 73% of viewers plan to use at least one device during the game.
