Super Bowl Print Ads?

Another Super Bowl is on the books and another round of much-anticipated television commercials have been revealed and analyzed all over the web.

Taking the road less traveled, here at MediaBids we wanted to take a look at television’s quieter cousin – print – and see what some companies did to tie their brands into the Super Bowl within print ads.We deal with print ads all day, every day, and were happy to see the clever ways advertisers created football-themed ads leading up to the big game.

The best examples we found come courtesy of the Special Edition of USA Today Sports – a special supplement featuring content primarily about last night’s event.
