Considering some of the stats surrounding this year’s Super Bowl, we are seeing what we like to refer to as “peak NFL.” Tune in to hear what that means and what companies we think won the Super Bowl with their ads. Despite all the efforts and heavy hitters of brands and agencies alike, Elon Musk and SpaceX dominated the week by launching their largest rocket in production and leaving a Tesla in space. Quite honestly, we couldn’t be more excited and creeped out for the conspiracy theories that followed.
