Here’s the best tech ads from Super Bowl 50 | #SB50
Super Bowl Sunday might be about a game of football, but for many the football plays second fiddle to the advertising during the game, and this year was no exception.
A number of leading tech companies (and some smaller ones) took the opportunity to advertise what they had on offer and at no small cost: a 30-second advertisement during the Super Bowl this year is believed to have been around $5 million, that’s for one play.
Here are the best tech ads from Superbowl 50.
T-Mobile
Drake gets advised to add terms & conditions to a song. Of note at the end is T-Mobile promoting unlimited streaming of Apple Music.
