More advertisers have joined the Super Bowl action over the past few years. First-time parent company advertisers rose from six to nine between 2013 and 2014 to represent 23% of advertisers during last year’s Super Bowl, and Kantar said that NBC had reported selling time to 15 first-time participants this year.
