Ep. 190 Super Bowl LX Commercials and Historic Half-Time Show

This past weekend, the biggest stage in the world became a mirror for culture, identity, and brand purpose. This week on Mission CTRL, Ramon Peralta is joined by the Peralta Design team - Jorge Pezo-Candelario, Maggie Kruse, and Kaed Gonzalez - for a Super Bowl 60 breakdown that goes far beyond the final score. While the game itself may have lacked fireworks, the halftime show and commercials sparked conversations about representation, legacy, hyper-targeted marketing, and the future of creativity in an AI-driven world. The team unpacks Bad Bunny’s historic halftime performance as a historic moment - not just for Puerto Rico, but for Latinos across generations - highlighting the symbolism, Easter eggs, and unapologetic authenticity that resonated with millions of Americans of all backgrounds with a patriotic message of unity and love. On the advertising side, the conversation dives into standout campaigns from brands like Lay’s, Budweiser, Google, Dove, Uber Eats, and more - examining why emotion, specificity, and continuity matter more than ever. The group explores how hyper-targeted ads outperform “for everyone” messaging, how brands are navigating AI, and why knowing who you’re for is the real competitive advantage. Whether you’re a marketer, founder, creative, or brand leader, this episode is a reminder that culture drives connection, clarity beats broadness, and there is a lane for you - if you’re brave enough to own it. • • • Find full episodes of Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website .
