The Super Bowl has always been an important part of the American experience, and various American companies have also started preparing for their part in this celebrated American tradition.
Fox, the media giant in charge of covering Super Bowl LIV, revealed that all of their 30-second ad slots, which cost from $5-5.6 million, have already been taken.
According to Awful Announcing's Jay Rigdon, this has been the first time in a while that a Super Bowl broadcasting partner didn't have to cram to get all of the slots filled. This means that there will be more time for these ad men to prepare compelling storyboards that will make for memorable commercials.
It's important to note, however, that there will be fewer ad breaks for Super Bowl LIV compared to its previous iterations. This means that there wasn't a lot of slots that needed to be filled after all.

If that is the case, the companies that burned a lot of money for their ad spots have the potential of getting high returns for their Super Bowl campaigns.
