Who had the best Super Bowl commercial? Yeah, we know, it probably was Budweiser. The beer company’s advertising hegemony is so nearly complete that Anheuser-Busch should probably be given the lifetime achievement award and let somebody else have a shot at the top spots.
But we’re a recruiting-focused site, so we’re asking you to choose between Monster’s fiddling beaver and CareerBuilder’s (very) casual Friday.
If you’ve actually been paying more attention to the game than to the commercials , the two videos are below. If you’ve been mostly watching the commercials, then you should know that as this is being written, it’s half time and the Colts are ahead of the Saints 10-6.
So much for the high scoring game me and everyone else was expecting. The Colts’ defense, by the way, is amazing.
But back to the poll. Conveniently, both commercials aired before the half. So take a look at the commercials, and cast your vote.
Monster or CareerBuilder: Who had the best Super Bowl commercial?(polls)
Here’s Monster’s fiddling beaver:
Here’s CareerBuilder’s casual Friday ad:
The following was written Friday, before the Monster ad was available.
Our poll, unlike the USA Today poll or those marketing professors at Western Michigan University is limited to only the two job boards whose ads ran during today’s Super Bowl.
As this is written on Friday afternoon, Monster hasn’t released its Beaver-themed 30-second spot. CareerBuilder, which offered a choice of three for visitors to its website to vote on, hasn’t said which it will run.
So even though we’re opening the poll at the kickoff, you really do need to wait until both ads have run. When the game is over, we’ll try to remember to find the ads online and either post them here or provide links.
If you can’t wait for us, then try going to Spike.com, which religiously posts all the commercials that run during the Super Bowl.
We’ve set the poll up to allow everyone one vote. And don’t waste your time clearing our poll cookie; we’re also tracking your IP. We’re wise to you.
