NBC 11 News Interviews 3marketeers CEO Jeff Holmes for Super Bowl Advertising Thoughts

Technology/Business Reporter and TechNow! host, Scott Budman paid a visit to the Silicon Valley offices of 3marketeers for some pre-game advertising input. "At $80,000 per second, the Super Bowl has a unique niche of attracting 'Active viewers'", Holmes said. "It's an unmatched venue to a very involved audience - as long as viewers remember your brand". In years past, many "dot-com's" haphazardly spent millions. Holmes believes "this year you will see more conventional brands, Cadillac, Fed-X, Pepsi and Budweiser -- and internet companies only with a relevant audience call to action like CareerBuilder." "It's all about the Water Cooler Recall factor; who do you remember".

This is the second year 3marketeers has been singled out among Silicon Valley agencies for input on Super Bowl advertising commentary. It must be our undying love of advertising... it is certainly not our love of football. See the NBC 11 coverage >
