Hyundai Will Stick with Super Bowl Commercials

 

hyundai.jpgMost companies would be thrilled to have the rights to air a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl, let alone two of the valuable ads. But as late as the first part of this week, automaker Hyundai was said to be feeling a twinge of buyer’s remorse over just such a brace of ads.

Probably like FOX, I'm thinking why in the world would you purchase not one but two 30 second spots if no one is going to remember it after the airing.

Catch the commercials again on Monday at Firebrand or at 11pm on ION TV with a special one hour of the newest and classic commercials from Super Bowl.
