TOP STORY: SUPER BOWL ADS
Tony Fannin, president, BE Branded
The Indianapolis Super Bowl host committee has raised $25 million towards the big day here in Indiana in 2012, but that number won’t even compare to the millions spent on the Super Bowl Ads. This year, CBS sold out on some 30-second spots going from $3 million apiece. Is it worth it? Inside INdiana Business contributor and marketing and brand development expert Tony Fannin breaks down the business, and some of the controversy, behind this year’s Super Bowl ads.
