Let’s assume 500,000 Jewish households will watch the Superbowl50 from Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area. If a philanthropy ad played for 30 seconds, and it generated 20,000 additional contributions for $36 in 2016, and a lifetime increment of $200 from these new contributors, it still would not reach the cost of $5 million for a 30 seconds spot on CBS. Also let’s assume that the ad does not cause current contributors to increase their pledges significantly. Also, most potential contributors are agglomerated into major metros.
Therefore, I don’t expect to see the major Jewish philanthropies running nationwide ads during today’s Super 50.
But if they did… I think the ads would be like these:
(1)
Eugene Levy, Larry King, and Sarah Silverman in a room deciding how much to pledge to the UJA. An image of Jack Benny complains that he can’t up his pledge. The three celebrities say, “Dude, have a Snickers. When you are hungry you are as tight as the persona of Jack Benny.” He eats and it turns out it is Mark Zuckerberg and he writes a big check.
