2025: Super Bowl LIX


Influential has shaped a playbook for game day success. The Big Game wasn’t just about football—it was a cultural moment. From viral celebrity highlights to standout ads and halftime performances, we’re breaking down the key conversations that drove the most engagement.
What Is the Playbook for Super Bowl Success?
Anticipate Buzzworthy Alignments
Brands can pre-align to anticipated talent or brainstorm spin-off ideas: this year, Taylor Swift / Travis Kelce, Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, and Lady Gaga stood out.
Prepare for Creators to Create Buzz
Influencers attract consumer & competitor attention alike - brands need to proactively game plan for increased conversation.
Opportunity to Engage the Non-sports Fan
The “I just hope both teams have fun” cohort represents an opportunity space with 600M potential impressions to resonate with authentically.
Strategic Campaign Integration
Story tell with integrated assets - whether ambassador co-posts, sponsored partner posts, or O&O-led giveaways that fast- follow after the spot airs.
