Super Bowl Spotlight: These Brands Had the Biggest Social Impact

The Super Bowl is the biggest advertising night of the year, and brands across all industries break out their creative chops to vie for viewer attention. With the final whistle blown and the Kansas City Chiefs victorious, CreatorIQ examined the advertising strategies and influencer marketing campaigns to evaluate which brands made the biggest social impact in terms of impressions, share of voice and engagement. 

Winner by impressions: Amazon

When it came to social impressions for brands advertising in Super Bowl LVII, Amazon dominated the playing field: According to CreatorIQ, it generated a hefty 1.3 billion impressions thanks to its heartfelt spot “Saving Sawyer,” featuring a lovable pup. 

  • Paramount+ was the runner-up for impressions, generating 105 million thanks to a commercial featuring Sylvester Stallone and signature characters from the streaming services including Dora the Explore and Beavis and Butt-Head. 

Winner by share of voice: Disney+

For its Super Bowl LVII ad, Disney+ aired a spot celebrating its 100th anniversary, featuring scenes from its most iconic titles, behind-the-scenes footage, fan content and more.
