NEW YORK, NY - Instacart announced its first-ever Super Bowl ad for the 2025 big game. The creative will be led by Instacart CMO Laura Jones and the brand’s internal Creative Studio team.
“For more than ten years, Instacart has turned grocery shopping into an experience that delights millions. This Super Bowl, we're bringing that same magic to America's biggest stage,” said Laura Jones, Chief Marketing Officer. “We recognize sports have the power to captivate audiences and drive brand awareness, and the Super Bowl gives us the ultimate platform to harness the unparalleled reach and cultural impact of the Big Game to introduce even more people to Instacart.”
Instacart recruited TBWA\Chiat\Day as the agency partner to create its first-ever Super Bowl ad and 360-degree campaign, a press release went on to note.
“From our very first meeting, we knew the Instacart team would be ideal partners because we share the same audacious creative ambition and commitment to making that vision a reality,” said Courtney Nelson, President, TBWA\Chiat\Day LA. “We are excited to showcase what is possible when you apply that level of partnership and dedication to advertising’s biggest stage.”
Sporting events remain one of the few high-impact placement opportunities with large viewership. The company recognizes the power of sports in captivating audiences and driving brand awareness, and have doubled down on sports marketing strategy to reach fans of sports like the NFL, F1, W/NBA, NHL, MLB, and the Paris Summer Olympics, among others.
Instacart is currently airing its new ‘Kazoo’ spot this fall football season, which spotlights kids giving a halftime show for their parents in the backyard while Instacart takes care of the groceries.
