In Instacart鈥檚 game day spot, beloved grocery brand mascots - including icons from past Super Bowl commercials - unite to show how Instacart takes care of your groceries so you can savor precious family time.
The :30 spot will air during the second quarter of the Big Game on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
While many brands will feature celebrity spokespeople or massive giveaways to break through, Instacart took an unexpected route: leaning into its unique role as a unifying force in the grocery space, with an unparalleled four-sided marketplace that benefits consumers, brands, shoppers, and retailers.
The spot also serves as a love letter to the Super Bowl ad genre, with references to past memorable moments, from 鈥淧uppy Monkey Baby鈥 to 鈥淚鈥檓 on a horse.鈥
This campaign is the official unveiling of Instacart鈥檚 new 鈥淲e鈥檙e Here鈥 brand platform, underscoring that Instacart takes care of your groceries so you鈥檙e free to take care of life.
Instacart鈥檚 brand platform was created by its in-house creative studio, under the leadership of CMO Laura Jones.
"Instacart has spent more than a decade obsessing about groceries so our customers can spend more time focused on the moments that matter most to them. Our first Super Bowl ad brings this to life, showing the extreme care we put into each order, and is a major milestone as we bring our brand promise of 'We're Here' to one of the largest audiences in the world,鈥 said Instacart chief marketing officer Laura Jones. 鈥淭he ad embodies our new brand platform with an epic journey of fan-favorite mascots delivering the perfect order, as only Instacart can, so that a family can have the perfect morning together. We鈥檙e here to take care of the groceries, so that you can take care of life.鈥
The ad spot and surrounding 360-degree campaign were brought to life for the Big Game by TBWA\Chiat\Day LA.
"We dedicated ourselves to capturing the essence of the Big Game's most iconic moments and weaving them into a narrative that truly represents Instacart鈥檚 mission to provide care for their customers,鈥 said Courtney Nelson, president of TBWA\Chiat\Day LA. 鈥淭his campaign is a celebration of everything that makes the Super Bowl special, brought together under one umbrella in a way that only Instacart can."
Mountain Dew Puppy Monkey Baby, Cheetos庐 Chester Cheetah庐, HEINZ Wiener Dogs, Green Giant, Mr. Clean, The Pillsbury Doughboy鈩, the Energizer Bunny, The Kool-Aid Man, the Old Spice Guy, and more unite in the ad.
A full 360-degree campaign surrounding the spot began with the reveal of a teaser video on January 23, with campaign touchpoints across linear TV, paid and organic social, OTT/streaming, audio, digital, IRL activations, and Instacart鈥檚 owned and operated channels like in-app.
