Summary

Super Bowl ads aren’t just commercials—they’re a cultural moment, a case study in brand impact, and a $7 million gamble for 30 seconds of airtime. In this episode, Ralph and Lauren break down the best, the worst, and the most effective ads from this year’s game. From Wanda Sykes flipping the script on shock marketing to Tom Brady’s Duracell-powered longevity, they chat about what worked, what flopped, and what brands should do after the big game to keep the momentum going. Whether you’re here for the ads, the strategy, or just to hear Ralph admit that Lauren might be funnier than him, this one’s for you. Stay tuned for part two coming soon!
