What do singing sheep, the Incredible Hulk, and a Toyota Prius have in common?

They all featured in this year's Super Bowl adverts.

But which of this year's ads performed the best?

Understanding the effectiveness of advertising campaigns has never been more prevalent with 30 seconds of air time at Super Bowl 50 costing up to $5 million.

The old saying: “Half the money spent on advertising is wasted, but no one knows which half” is no longer a good enough.

There are a number of ways to track media performance, one of which is monitoring social activity. The two tools mentioned below, Amobee and Spredfast, both allow users to leverage the power of social and manage their online presence.

The most talked about companies during the game were Esurance, Doritos, Pepsi, Mountain Dew and T-Mobile. However, Beyonce stole the show with over 2.6 million tweets about the her, illustrating there is still work to be done by the companies competing to win the social media game.
