For the first time in brand history, Snickers is releasing its full Super Bowl commercial before the Big Game. The decision comes after giving consumers the power to help reveal the full 30-second spot by reaching 2.5M social media engagements before kick off.
The spot features a very hungry Marsha Brady, portrayed by movie star Danny Trejo, throwing an uncharacteristic tantrum until given a Snickers by her parents. Marsha returns back to everyone’s favorite girl next door, while fans experience another enjoyable moment with surprise actor Steve Buscemi playing Jan.
Created by BBDO New York, this is the latest spot in the brand’s successful “You’re Not You When Your Hungry” campaign. Jim Jenkins of O Positive directed the commercial, which is titled “Brady Bunch.”
