How to use the dataset
There are a few different ways you can use this data to uncover America’s secrets through Super Bowl ads. Let’s explore some potential uses!
-
Analyze changes in the types of themes across years: By looking at the data for each year separately and trying to identify trends or similarities across years in particular themes (like funny ads or dangerous ad), you can gain an understanding of any changes in how Americans view these aspects of their entertainment. For example, is there a trend towards more funny ads? Or more patriotic ones?
-
Utilize Brand Analysis: pull up all of an individual brand’s data from all years and ask what types of messages this brand has been sending throughout its Super Bowl advertising over time– Do they like animals? Are their famous people in most ads? An understanding what type brands put out will allow insight into how Americans perceive them overall.
-
Analyze correlations between themes: Find correlations between different aspects by performing analyses that compare two columns at a time over multiple years; some examples may include correlation between using sex vs using animals in advertising or correlation between having a celebrity spokesperson/actor/actress vs being patriotic with ad content could also be interesting to analyze.
Research Ideas
-
Creating an interactive visualization that allows users to explore the different trends surrounding Super Bowl ads over the last two decades. This could include visuals such as bar graphs, line charts and scatter plots that show how often certain characteristics are used in ads, and how these characteristics have evolved over time.
-
Running a classifier model to predict which characteristics will be used in an upcoming Super Bowl ad. This could use factors such as past data from similar brands or from the same company over multiple years.
-
Using the data to create a machine learning algorithm that recommends which kinds of elements (i.e funny jokes, celebrity appearances, animals ect.) should be included in a new ad based on user input about their desired outcome for the ad (i.e increase brand awareness or position brand image)
