This year’s Super Bowl saw over 40 brands pay more than $5 million dollars each for ad time during the big game.
There were the usual contenders like Budweiser, Pepsi and Kia; brands like Doritos and M&Ms that returned after taking a Super Bowl break; and debut advertisers like Pringles, Kraft and Intuit making their first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
What there hasn’t been since the close of the big game is a clear winner among the advertisers.

Here’s what Merkle wrote about their methodology and some of the top-ranking brands.
