Expect to see more red shirts than the ones on the backs of the Kansas City Chiefs at the game this Sunday—State Farm, the insurer known for its red-branded uniforms, will air its first Super Bowl commercial this year. The 30-second spot will debut during the first half of the Feb. 7 event.
Last year, State Farm ran a spot that introduced a new version of brand spokesman Jake in the pre-show before the Super Bowl. That spot was the insurer’s first work from The Marketing Arm, which had recently become State Farm’s lead creative agency.
The Marketing Arm is also behind the new work. Today, State Farm released two separate teasers ahead of the spot.
The first 20-second teaser features Jake, alluding to a newcomer to the State Farm brand ambassador roster, joining Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, who will be playing Sunday, and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, who would have been in the game had the Packers not lost in the NFC Championship game.
“Every football fan knows Team State Farm. We got Rodgers. We got Mahomes. And this Sunday, we’re adding another elite talent to the roster,” Jake says.
