Super Bowl is a super time for advertisers
Every winter, millions of fans gather to watch the Super Bowl, one of the most celebrated American traditions. For some of us, what happens between the punts, sacks and touchdowns is the best part: the commercials.

This year, NBC is selling 30-second spots in Super Bowl 43 for $3 million. The reason? The game will be broadcast to over 140 million viewers in 88 million households. Also, this is the one event when fans embrace commercials resulting in higher break through and likeability ratings. Lastly, these commercials inspire word of mouth buzz, Internet searches and online reviews.

"The most memorable super bowl commercials are short, simple and funny," said thunder::tech graphic designer Connie Baltitas. "We want babies to convince us that it's easy to do our trading online. We want to fill our fridges based on the recommendations of croaking frogs and then watch Clydesdales play fetch. Keep me laughing through the next commercial and bonus points if I go to YouTube to watch it again."

GOJO and Clean Gene™ take on germs!
thunder::tech recently worked with GOJO, a skincare products company and maker of Purrell® Instant Hand Sanitizer, to produce a video and two online games. These tools are used by in-school educators to increase awareness of healthy behaviors in elementary school students. Play Clean Gene or Outsmart Germs! now to combat the most germ infested spots in school such as the cafeteria and the playground.
