Well, the Superbowl has come and gone and thus begins the roundup of the best ads of the show. There were some fantastic ads this year, but 1st Bank REALLY knocked it out of the park. They not only took a completely different twist on the normal ad, they took a brilliant approach to showing their message.
They took a completely different approach to a Superbowl ad
Most ads are cluttered and somewhat complicated. They try to tell a whole story in 30 seconds or less with humor, wit, emotion, or striking visuals.

It was still funny.
The ad wasn’t boring, it still made you laugh.
The message was simple, obvious, and effective.
