Super Bowl TV: $3 Million Gone in 30 Seconds
Think fast. The :30 commercial below cost a cool $1.25 million to shoot, $2 million to air and it ran only once.
Make Every Second Count
Kforce chose the Super Bowl to launch their new jobsite, designed to go head-to-head against Monster and HotJobs, the category leaders. No expense was spared, including hiring the Set Designer from the original “Blade Runner” film.
The $3 Million Dollar Question: Did the commercial do it’s job?
On game day, nearly 2.5 million hits were registered before the servers crashed. In turn, Kforce.com was backlogged with applicants for the next six months. Victory.
The commercial was voted a “Top 10” spot by USA Today and Yahoo. I was the ACD/Copywriter. Senior Art Director: Lori Sibal. Senior Producer: Aaron Royer. ECD: Richard Mahan. Director: Peter Smiley. Agency: Grey.
