Hanon McKendry/Mindscape at Hanon McKendry Announce 2nd Annual Online Super Bowl Ad Poll

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanon McKendry and Mindscape at Hanon McKendry invite Super Bowl ad fans and armchair critics to vote for their favorite Super Bowl commercials during the big game on Sun., Feb. 7 at www.superadbowl.com.  The game kicks off at 6:25 EST, and voting begins at the end of the first quarter.

As votes are cast, results will be immediately tabulated and posted so visitors to www.superadbowl.com will be able to see how their picks compare to those of Super Bowl ad fans around the world.

"Super Bowl advertising is big entertainment, and everyone wants to voice their opinion," said Bill McKendry, founder and chief creative officer at Hanon McKendry.  "We wanted to give average viewers a place to weigh in, in real time, on the ads they think hit the mark."

The Hanon McKendry-Mindscape at Hanon McKendry Super Bowl advertising poll, conducted annually by Harris Interactive, consistently shows that the ads are a significant draw on game day. This year's poll results, released on January 26, show that over 57 percent of U.S. adults who plan to tune in to Super Bowl XLIV will do so as much or more for the commercials as for the game.  Of those who watch the commercials, 35 percent say they're more likely to visit an advertiser's website after seeing a Super Bowl ad, and a full 48 percent of online U.S. adults who watch the ads say they are at least somewhat likely to discuss them on a social networking site.

"As more and more Super Bowl advertisers maximize interactive opportunities, viewers are getting in the game and watching with their laptops by their sides," observed Pete Brand, co-founder of Mindscape at Hanon McKendry, Hanon McKendry's interactive division.  "Superadbowl.com gives those interactive viewers a place to go, immediately, and be part of the action."

Visitors to www.superadbowl.com will be able to cast their votes for one favorite commercial from each quarter.  Voting will open at the end of the first quarter and will remain open through February 9.
