Companies will need to shell out a fortune to secure a Super Bowl ad. The Chiefs and 49ers are set to face off in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII, and for many viewers, the commercials are the main event. We’ve all experienced it at Super Bowl parties – everyone talking nonstop, except when the commercials come on. Those ad slots are incredibly valuable, with over 100 million people tuning in.

I’m no expert in economics or marketing, but with such a massive audience, it’s an excellent opportunity to reach a significant portion of the country.
