Remember that great workout schedule that I put together last week? Well, we ended up having three inches of snow that basically shut the entire city of Atlanta down for days. I was stuck at a hotel in town with workout clothes being my only change of outfit. The city looked something like this:

The snow ended up paralyzing most of the inner and surrounding cities. Abandoned cars, stranded drivers. A domino effect happened as people were released from school and work all at once. There wasn’t much snow, but there was enough to cause pandemonium. My dad took ten hours to get home. I had crazy anxiety about driving anywhere because of my previous experience on black ice. I’m glad we made it through that and I hope the city handles things better next time.

So, what did you guys think of the Super Bowl? Eh, me too. I wish it wasn’t such a blow out. I did enjoy Bruno Mars. His very first CD, Doo-wops and Hooligans is one of the first albums that I ever “completed on iTunes”. {Side note: any one curious to try out that CD, I just found the mp3 version for $3.99 special on Amazon here: Doo-Wops & Hooligans}

Below are a few of my favorites from the show:

My favorite ads from the SuperBowl were:
Cheerios Ad | Maserati Strike | Budweiser Puppy

The Cheerios ad was my most favorite. So cute and simple! I really liked the simple voice over from Quvenzhané Wallis in the Maserati Ghibli ad. One thing missing from the ad: the price of the car. At $67k the car isn’t out of reach with other luxury cars. Not what I was expecting at all.

Best effort on Twitter goes to esurance with #ESuranceSave30 of course. However, I dislike how they aren’t announcing their winner until 2/5. Social media win though since everyone will be tweeting about it for days. Think about it one winner, millions of tweets about the brand. Win. 

Best brand to brand engagement: Coors Light to JC Penney

Most engaging real time tweet: Heinz

Best real-time Twitter ads goes to Adobe Marketing Cloud.

Best celeb cameo: Audi Doberwawa with Sarah McLachlan oh and the Full House guys for Dannon Oikos

Best Vine: Tide

Best Snapchat: {tie} Audi and Alex and Ani
