And I think that some brands could have sat it out.
They should have looked and said, hey, do I've got do I have something simple I want to say that I can really cut through?
Is this sincere to who we are and this moment?
And am I actually making a statement about something?
Now, if you weren't ticking all those boxes this year, I don't think this was the year for you to have done a Super Bowl ad.
The best ad of the night was Bad Bunny for Bad Bunny.
That's Dara Treseder, Chief Marketing Officer of Autodesk, back on the show to break down this year's Super Bowl ads.
What worked, what didn't, what we can all learn from the high cost high wire act from anthropic shot at OpenAI to Lady Gaga's homage to Mr.
Rogers to Duncan's Nostalgia Fueled Celebfest.
We also dig into the Bad Bunny halftime show and what it means for the NFL and Apple.
And Dara shares her view of Black History Month and opens up about her personal experience as a black woman in America.
It's timely, uplifting, and instructive.
So let's get to it.
I'm Bob Safian, and this is Rapid Response.
You ready for our annual post-Super Bowl uh dish?
I'm excited.
I've been looking forward to this.
I I so I have to say that the on-field game wasn't much of a contest, kind of a blowout, but but plenty of trick plays in Hail Mary's in the ad battle.
The cost for a 30-second ad this year was somewhere between eight and $10 million dollars to place.
You you talk about Roamy return on marketing and investment, what's worthwhile, what breaks through.
Just quick off the bat, any any big winners or losers that that jumped out at you?
There were some big winners.
So we can go into details, but off the bat, I would say those were some of the big winners this year.
I mean, I I I've been scanning all the best and best and worst lists online, and there's like roughly zero consensus.
There is I would say we are the authority, Bob.
You know.
But I but I know you use this lens of like memorable, relevant, and ownable, right?
And and so is that is that why you're you're particularly picking those those three that you mentioned?
So, you know, I, you know, we have been using ownable, relevant, and memorable for the past few years now.
And this year, we are adding a new layer.
Given the context of where we are at, I think we have to add the lens of simplicity.
So was it simple enough?
Because there's so much chaos happening in the world.
I think it had to also be sincere.
There is so much in sincerity and inauthenticity in today's context.
And the last thing I would say is it had to be statement making.
To win this year, you had to be making a statement of a sort.
So, so like I like I saw a lot of mentions uh in the other lists of like the the Duncan ad, the Goodwill Duncan spot fronted by Ben Affleck.
Does it fit on all of the layers that you're that you're looking at?
So I thought that that ad was sincere.
You saw a lot of insincere use of celebrity.
The only winners uh this year from a celebrity standpoint were the celebrities who got paid, okay?
A lot of brands use celebrities in ways that they really did not need to do that.
Over 250 million dollars were spent on celebrity placements for these Super Bowl ads.
That's a quarter of a billion dollars.
Wow.
And the ROI was really not there.
In fact, 60% of the Super Bowl ads this year use celebrities.
And many did not use them intentionally or use them well.
I think Goodwill Duncan was where celebrity use made sense.
We all know one thing is true about Ben Affleck, he does like a Jennifer and he does like Dunkin' Donuts.
And and like some of the um more artsy highbrow ads, like like Emma Stone for Squarespace or Adrian Brodie's like TurboTax, you know, sort of purposely overacting.
That that was effective or sort of modest?
I think it was modest.
Uh, I don't think it quite cut through as well.
I would say that I will give the Squarespace one was simple.
Get a domain name using Squarespace.
Many people might have thought about Squarespace to design their website, but not necessarily like, I'm not even ready to design it, but have I gotten my domain name yet?
That if Emma Stone.com is unavailable, girl, what you sitting on?
Go get your domain name right now.
Like that cut through.
I even had my kids say, Mommy, should I get my domain name?
I was like, wow, this is cutting through all generations right now.
You know, we've got an eight-year-old wanting to figure out if he needs to get his domain name or not.
He better, he better keep it.
Right.
In some ways, like the one one of the simplest ads to me that sort of cut through was the Levi's ad, which just focused on rear end, right?
That it worked.
It worked.
My son was like, are we looking at butts?
What's going on here?
But you know what?
It showed that look, every human body is original.
And, you know, you what whoever you are, we've got genes for you.
So much about marketing is about pursuing attention, particularly in the Super Bowl.
But it's it's like this interesting time because brands are also wary about sparking controversy.
You know, like how do you get attention and stay under the radar at the same time a little bit?
Um and and you mentioned this.
One of the biggest risks, I thought was the rocket, you know, Lady Gaga ad using won't you be my neighbor from Mr.
Rogers' neighborhood?
To me, it was kind of treading a line with all of the ice controversy and neighbors, activists handing out ice out towels in front of the stadium.
That's one of the ones you said stood stood out to you.
That was an incredible, incredible ad.
Um, I thought everything about that was brilliant from the insight.
The insight was rooted in the business strategy, right?
They have that line, own the dream.
And then the execution was really well done.
First of all, let's talk about good use of celebrity.
They use Lady Gaga to re-record Will You Be My Neighbor, the Mr.
Rogers all.
That was beautiful.
Even before the ad came out, all over social media from Maria Shriver, like people were sharing just the song, right?
The song itself, the Lady Gaga execution of that song was amazing.
And then you have the added cultural context of Lady Gaga being a kind of a big winner in the Grammys this year.
And then Lady Gaga also happened to be in the halftime show.
So you had this, the musical choice for the ad was so spot on.
I thought that there was a lot of love for that ad because given everything going on in our context right now, that ad was one of the few ads, if not the only ad that made a statement in our cultural context that was tonally appropriate.
And it did it without passing judgment.
And I love that because it was an invitation to all of us to say, hey, how can I be a better neighbor?
And that's a call that all of us can identify with from a cultural standpoint.
And of course, there's a business standpoint of as you're looking to find your next home, come and use, you know, Redfin or Rocket, right?
There was that underlying premise.
We love when culture and brand magic is sitting on the bedrock foundation of a solid business strategy.
Another one of the ads that you mentioned was the Pepsi ad, which is a risk of a different kind, this polar bear ad that sort of adopted Koch's mascot to use against them, right?
It was bold.
The return of rivalry.
We love that.
The return of rivalry.
Um, you know, I thought that was a brilliant ad.
And the internet loved the ad.
And I think part of what made it work so well was it was a little self-deprecating.
And it's okay to say you like Pepsi better, right?
That sort of self-deprecating, you know, um, layer, I think worked really nicely.
Also, the fact that they were able to co-opt the polar bear, that worked incredibly well.
And Taika Watiti, who doesn't love a good Taika Watiti?
And I obviously have to give a shout out to our Autodesk customer, Framestore, who, you know, used our design and make platform to bring that world to life.
But I did think even the art was well done.
It was tastefully well done.
And it did hark back to Pepsi's own legacy of, you know, the the take the Pepsi challenge from way back, right?
That's sort of always been their fighter persona in the marketplace.
They've always had that fighter persona.
I thought they they they personified that.
Um, and and they did it really, they they made a statement.
Making a statement doesn't have to be a statement about the cultural environment.
It could be a statement about your truth, but on a platform as big as the Super Bowl, it was sad to me that a lot of brands said nothing.
One of the things I loved about Pepsi is they said something.
They said something about who they are as a brand.
They said something about the competition.
They, you know, they might not have made a cultural statement, but they made a category statement.
The other ad that you that you mentioned and was also, you know, a bold shot was anthropic's jab at open AI.
Definitely came in hard with their clawed spots.
Did they win even before the the Super Bowl ad ran?
Because people were talking about it.
Before the Super Bowl ad ran, they were talking about.
I mean, there are very few times my husband sends me a text about an ad, okay?
It grabbed a lot of people.
The ads were incredibly well done.
When you also think about the 360 strategy of, hey, we are going to maximize conversation and ROI, they absolutely did that.
When you take a shot at another company, and the CEO and the CMO of that company start to comment, you know you've won.
Because you struck a nerve.
Now I think that the proof will be in the pudding.
Because now, if they start to bring ads to their platform, the internet will not forgive.
So yes, it's a it's a it's a strategic business decision to play that up.
It's not just uh, it's not just a tagline.
Like you you gotta live with it.
You gotta live with that.
You absolutely have to live with that.
I mean, there there were a lot of AI-related ads.
Something like one in four of the ads I was tracking were were AI.
Uh one of my producers really liked OpenAI's ad for Codex.
Another one hated the Gen Spark ad, the one with Matthew Broderick for being tone-deaf about people's fear of AI.
Like all of these ads around AI, is it like it was a couple of years ago where suddenly every ad seemed like it was from a crypto company?
Like is is this uh is this a bubble?
Is it like what what does all that mean?
I think the big picture was AI is here to stay.
That was the big picture.
The ads were not as spot on or bullseye as they could have been.
So there wasn't a single AI ad that I would say other than the anthropic ad that we talked about, right?
It almost felt like anthropic was over here and everybody else was over here.
So there was a huge gap.
So the AI winner was anthropic, and everybody else was sort of either meh or even in the kind of loser category.
But in general, the AI ads were sort of, they were overdone this year.
I would say the overarching theme this year was disappointment.
I think a lot of the ads were not that great.
There were a few standout ads, and we've talked about them, and I think a few honorable mentions, and we've talked about a few of them as well.
But the majority of the ads were sort of uh a little meh.
It's like, you know, when your agency comes to you and suggests Boeing Yang, John Ham, and Scarlett Johansson in a spot.
Your question should be why?
And if it's not clear, maybe don't do that.
So, you know, there's a lot they were just trying to reach every demographic.
It doesn't work.
When you try to speak to everyone, you speak to no one.
When you try to speak to everyone, you speak to no one.
The YouTube ad about things being meh, I thought it was kind of a meh ad, too.
I was like, Yeah, you've defined yourself perfectly.
It was a meh ad.
There was just a lot of meh.
And I think this is one of the things that I worry about with our industry.
I worry that in the age of more, the lack of focus on being excellent at the fundamentals leads to a lot of mediocrity, right?
I've talked about how AI raises the floor, but it's human ingenuity that's gonna raise the ceiling.
And I thought that a lot of ads were playing at the floor.
There was just a lot of mediocrity.
Many of the ads were just so forgettable.
And I think that some brands could have sat it out.
They should have looked and said, hey, do I've got have do I have something simple I want to say that I can really cut through?
Is this sincere to who we are and this moment?
And am I actually making a statement about something?
Now, if you weren't ticking all those boxes this year, I don't think this was the year for you to have done a Super Bowl lad.
Dara isn't shy with her critiques.
So what did she think of the Bad Bunny halftime show?
Was it good for the NFL and for Apple?
And how is she personally trying to show up with simplicity and a statement as a leader right now?
We'll talk about that more after the break.
Stay with us.
And he's telling us how they started a product line.
We already had a space in the community.
The food was an extension of our lifestyle and our values.
So we know we wanted to create something that was offshoot to that.
Our pepper sauce.
That's my grandmother's recipe.
That's like a liquid gold, right?
If someone was to approach us and ask us, what do we do?
We provide flavor.
Growing a product line is no small investment, but Mike and his wife and co-founder Nicole were able to manage with the help of their Capital One Business Card.
Working with Capital One Business, we're able to leverage our limits and utilize those points, making sure we can continue their scale at the speed that we needed to go.

Before the break, Autodesk's Dark Treseder took us through the highs and lows of this year's Super Bowl ads.
Now we talk about the Bad Bunny halftime show, what it says about the NFL and Apple and what it means to live in the purple.
Plus assessing the brand of Black History Month, AI and layoffs, and the power of joy.
Let's jump back in.
You know, Bad Bunny singing in Spanish.
You know, at the Super Bowl party that I was at, like some folks loved it, some honestly were put off.
I don't understand what he's saying.
What was the larger impact?
Do you think the best ad of the day of the night was Bad Bunny for Bad Bunny?
Like I thought he did an incredible job.
And you know, at my Super Bowl uh party, I was up, I was dancing, I had a great time.
Now, you know, there were also people at my Super Bowl that were like, you know, they they they they were not up, they were not dancing.
Um, and and and and I think that was kind of reflective.
I think your Super Bowl party and my Super Bowl party were like reflective of what's going on in the world today.
The people who didn't want Bad Bunny there, there was nothing he could have done to have pleased them.
So to have tried to please them would have been a failure.
I thought he was a tremendous success because he spoke to the people who he needed to speak to, and he did it in a way that was incredibly authentic to them.
I mean, from a real life couple getting married to like a Lady Gaga performing to just the joy.
The overwhelming thing was joy and unity.
He said, God bless America, and he said it in English.
So you everybody could understand that.
He had the football that said, Together we are America.
But the America he referred to then wasn't just the United States of America, right?
He referred to to uh all of the countries in the Americas, which again turned some people off.
I mean, there's risk in that.
I thought, you know, I thought what he was saying, and this might be my own little interpretation, but I thought he was talking about all of these people come to America and then they are American.
And I that very much resonated with me as an immigrant.
I'll go a step further and say, I thought it was a win for Apple.
I thought it was a win for NFL because they are trying to be global.
These are global brands that have global, and guess what?
Who is global?
Bad bunny is global.
A lot of people all over the world love Bad Bunny.
The NFL is trying to go global.
You saw that with they were even showing the watch parties, right?
Here's people watching the NFL in London, and they're trying to be more global as an institution.
So to take a very established and loved global superstar, who, by the way, again was the winner from the Grammys, and they didn't know that when they chose him, but they stuck with him through the controversy.
So I think that also builds goodwill because they would never have won by ditching and by opining with a spine.
I think they have actually gained more followers and loyalists than if they pulled away.
And guess what?
Those other people, they still tuned in and they still watch the game anyway.
And the fact that, you know, President Trump called out Bad Bunny before, after that, you know, turning point.
Charlie Kirk's organization puts on an alternate halftime show fronted by Kid Rock.
Did you watch that?
Did you did you, Bob?
Did you leave the halftime show too?
Okay.
Neither did I.
I did not.
I did not watch that.
But it got it got a lot of attention.
And I guess I guess the question it raises for me is like the Super Bowl is one of the few shared experiences these days, you know, across the United States, across the world.
And yet you could say that in some ways, having Bad Bunny sort of undercut that a little bit, you know, instead of connecting us.
I disagree.
I disagree.
I think that Bad Bunny united us.
There are things that he could have chosen to say or chosen to do that would have been divisive.
Instead, he says, God bless America in English.
He has a football that says, Together we are America.
And so I actually thought that he he he brought healing, he brought hope, and he brought unity.
You encourage us all to opine with a spine and to, you know, not try to be everything for everyone.
But at the same time, like there's so much risk of being called out as being partisan in the United States.
And like, you know, how do we live live in the purple, you know, not in the red or in the blue, but in the purple.
Is that question running in your head all the time?
What is honestly running in my head a lot of the time is um, are we saying the things we need to say to the people we need to say them to in a sincere way?
And I think sometimes that might be a statement that is red, it might be a statement that is blue, it might be a statement that is purple.
I think that that's actually not the problem.
The problem that we are facing or seeing is moral decay.
And it's saying, hey, I might be making whatever statement I'm gonna make, but I'm gonna make it in a way that is really awful and rude or racist or hateful.
And I think that what I love about what Bad Bunny did is he showed us you can be you and you can make the statements you want to make, but you can do it in a way that is full of integrity and in a way that is not hateful.
And I think if more Americans, whether you are red, whether you were blue or whether you are purple, if more Americans did that, I think we would be living in a less polarized society and in a more joyful society.
I noticed that last week you posted a picture on LinkedIn of you with your family with your with your kids, your husband, even the dog.
And that the heading was um happy black history month.
Your husband's not black, you were born in Nigeria, and you wrote, our kids have been asking a lot of questions lately.
So much feels heavy right now.
And you talk about courage and justice and dignity.
What prompted you to share that publicly?
This is the hundred years of celebrating what we know today as Black History Month.
It's the hundredth celebration.
Beyond that, some people have chosen to roll back some of the progress that black people have made over the last hundred years, or they are trying to roll it back and in anti-black sentiment, right?
Racism is at an all-time high in modern history.
So now I'm going back the last 20, 30 years.
And so, you know, as a black woman, as a black leader in today's world, I felt it was important for me to acknowledge what is going on and to share a message that I hope is a message of hope, is a message of encouragement.
Um, and it's helping people be seen.
There are historic levels of unemployment for black people, especially black women.
It doesn't get a lot of coverage, but it is the fact.
And not a lot of black people and black women feel like they can say something, right?
Because there is also a lot of fear, fear of retribution, fear of judgment.
And do I feel fear?
Absolutely.
Bob, I feel fear.
I feel afraid.
I have I have not felt this scared in a very, very long time.
The last time I felt this scared was when I was in Nigeria and there was a coup and we lived under military rule.
That is the last time I felt the levels of fear and anxiety that I feel right now.
So I feel fear, and I still think it is important to say something.
Because I'm thinking, if I who have, and I have some privilege, right?
I went to great schools.
Um, I have some financial security.
So if I feel afraid and say nothing, what about the millions of black Americans who might feel this fear as well, but maybe don't feel like they're in a position to say something or even in a position that anyone might even listen?
And so to me, it's important to say something because that is critical for not only acknowledging the moment, but rallying each and every one of us to do whatever we can do in our own sphere of influence to be a light, to help to push things forward, to keep progress moving.
Because, you know, when when black people in America are treated fairly, are treated well, are treated with dignity, it is good for all Americans.
And I think we have a duty to the next generation coming after us to make sure that we leave this world a better place than how we found it.
Does it mean something different?
I mean, I'm sure you're still rooting for Team USA at the Olympics.
I'm always rooting for Team USA.
You know, I will always be proud to be an American.
You might know my husband is a Marine.
Um, so we are a military family.
I love this country so much.
I will always love this country.
And it is the love that I have for this country that inspires me to say, hey, let's look here.
How can we continue to be our best selves?
It is the love that I have for this country that compels me to call out injustice when I see this.
It is from a place of love, from a place of saying, this is a country that I deeply believe in.
You know, Nigeria was my country of birth.
America is my country of choice.
This is where I chose to come to.
This is a country I chose to become a citizen of intentionally.
I love this country and I always will.
And I also think it's important for me to say when I feel like we could be better, hey, here's where I think we could be better.
I'm more than just say do something about it.
You know, professionally at Autodesk, you are supporting Team USA.
You're the official design and make platform for Team USA in the Olympics.
What does that mean?
The designing and making of the games, of the different venues, of the stadiums, of the equipment, a lot of that is designed and make with our Autodesk software by our amazing customers all around the world.
And it's been just incredible to even see the winter Olympics kick off.
The flag bearer of Team USA, Aaron Jackson, is an Autodesk athlete.
And you know, it's been an amazing journey for us to uh have been on this journey with Aaron and several of the other team USA athletes.
We're cheering for them, we're rooting for them, and we look forward to seeing, you know, the medals that they're gonna bring back home.
We talked with the Super Bowl ads about the challenges around AI.
Uh Autodesk recently announced a round of layoffs pointing to AI's impacts.
I know your products are increasingly infused with AI.
Do you have any conflicting feelings around what AI is doing to us?
How we're reacting to it.
You know, first of all, let me just say it's never great when anyone loses their job.
And, you know, Autodesk is not alone, right?
In the businesses who um have had had to do um take action like that this year.
Whenever we have any technological revolution, like I think we are going through with AI, there's always going to be a shift.
And so what that means is roles are going to look different, right?
New roles are gonna be created and developed that utilize AI in different ways.
And certain roles are going to evolve or shift.
So that I think is what always happens when you have this sort of technological leaps, like what we are seeing happen today.
And so that's what we the journey we've been on, and it's the journey we'll continue to be on.
I mean, so the Super Bowl is called the big game, right?
And and whether you think about the ads or the teams or the halftime show, it's meant to be fun.
A lot of the other things that we've talked about that are underway in our world, they're not always about fun.
They can get dark and anxious and scary.
How do you manage that reality as a business leader?
Like, how do you know when fun is a distraction or like an essential antidote?
I really believe that joy is resistance.
In my life personally, in my life professionally, I think it's important to bring joy in.
I think that, you know, for the people who I work with, have the privilege to work with, I think it's important that I am I am carrying in the sunshine.
I am bringing in the sunshine and I am bringing in the joy in my home, you know, to the children that I parent and my amazing husband and my wonderful kids and my puppy bjorn, right?
I want to make sure that I'm bringing in the joy and I'm bringing in the sunshine.
And I think that regardless of what is happening in the world, um, I try to always find joy and bring joy in.
And joy is not happiness.
You know, I want to be clear on that.
Joy is not happiness.
So I could be sad and I can still have joy.
I could be angry and I could still have joy.
I can be afraid and anxious and I can still have joy.
To me, joy is a choice.
Um, you know, there's a saying in my faith, the joy of the Lord is my strength.
I really believe that.
I think that joy is my strength.
And I that's something that I repeat to myself every day.
As a regardless of what is going on in the world around me, regardless of the things that might scare me, regardless of the things that might, you know, leave me feeling asking why, or questioning why this is happening.
You know, one thing that I can always hold on to is joy, and I can always hold on to is love.
And that's sort of what I tell my kids, you know.
Um, they ask, Mommy, why don't people like black people?
What have we done?
Why don't why are people against us?
Like they don't understand.
And I can't always explain everything.
Uh, but one thing I can teach them is that regardless of what comes your way, you can hold on to joy, you can hold on to love.
And if you hold on to joy and love, you will carry the sunshine into any room that you walk in.
Well, uh, Dara, you always make this uh joyful for me.
So uh thank you as always for for your friendship and for having this conversation.
Thank you, thank you, Bob.
When I do these interviews, I sometimes play devil's advocate to prod our guests, get beyond the surface.
I feel a lot like Dara does about the Bad Bunny halftime show, but I'm not sure I would know that if I hadn't pressed a bit.
There's risk in pressing, not just in conversations and brand messages, but in every job.
And yet, in so many ways, that pressing is the job.
I've been thinking about Dara's reflection that making a statement as a business doesn't need to be political.
It can be a statement about your category, how you distinguish yourself, who you want to be.
Dara's emphasis on the pursuit of joy, it's one of the biggest statements we can make today.
When volatile forces make us want to shrink or despair, what's more disruptive than joy?
So, where you can, channel your own joy at work, at home, for yourself, for others.
It's a superpower worth using and sharing.
I'm Bob Safian.
Thanks for listening.
We were awarded this incredible contract to put on an event for 2,000 people.
The budget was around one and a half million dollars.
It was a black tie event.
There was a jazz band playing in a cigar bar and a bourbon bar.
That's Natasha Miller, Capital One Business Customer and CEO of Entire Productions, a corporate event management company.
And she's telling us how she had to float a large contract for nine months.
It was really hard since we were carrying that 1.5 million, most of which passed through to pay for the venue in all the vendors in all the food and beverage.
It's this waterfall effect.
Thankfully, we were able to handle that with the Capital One credit cards, which have a 2% cash back on everything.
For Natasha, it wasn't just the financial support from Capital Onew that at any point I was in trouble that I can call her, which I've never had before in a bank ever.
With the help of Callie and her Capital One Business Card, Natasha was able to stretch every dollar in order to bring this monumental event to life.
