Analysis of the bulls game marketing
I was surprised at how little advertising there was in the bulls game. especially how little differentiation there was. even with in game ads ("this quarter is brought to you by _______" were the same companies running ads during the commercial breaks. Budweiser and the Illinois Lottery dominted the ads. I should've predicted the mendards ad, and was swore out loud when it came on. As far as the southwest/visit california ad, i have no idea. Escapism? I guess chicago winter coupled with economy-cheap flights have a place on local broadcast television, but i didn't see it coming.
The rest of the ads were spot on with my predictions (except car insurance, but that kind of goes hand-in-hand with the car industry ads.)
