The Super Bowl isn’t just about football; it’s also the ultimate advertising extravaganza, with top brands splurging on commercials to reach over 100 million viewers.
Overall, it is clear that the evolving technology is striking all kinds of fear into the hearts of the people.
This year’s Super Bowl ads are packing some serious star quality and plenty of zany moments.
Seoul Milk’s unfortunate ad is wrong on multiple levels, as it depicts a man spying on women who suddenly morph into dairy-producing cattle.
After being yanked off the air following a ruling back in January, Gerard Butler’s Windhoek Beer commercial is good to go again.
2015 was another bumper year for South African TV adverts, and now a global research has ranked our best and brightest. Plenty of heart-string tugging.
Remember the joy you felt at that last festival when you finally made it to the ablutions, waited in the queue and sat down on the throne? Here’s the baby equivalent.
Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, call him what you like – the music mogul and entrepreneur knows how to get people talking about his new fragrance.

ETV News captured our conversation, so keep an eye out for the Tech Report on Thursday nights (channel […]
