Data Preparation

First, we load the dataset.

setwd("C:/Users/hp/Downloads/SUPERBOWL")


# Load the dataset
superbowl <- read.csv(file = "superbowl.csv",fileEncoding = 'UTF-8-BOM')

Interpretation of Results

  1. Ad Spend Trends:

    • The “Ad Spend Over Time” graph shows a significant spike in advertising expenditures during the week of the Super Bowl (Jan 30, 2012) for all brands. This confirms that brands invested heavily in Super Bowl advertising.
  2. Social Media Buzz Trends:

    • The “Social Media Buzz Over Time” graph reveals a noticeable increase in buzz volume (mentions) immediately after the Super Bowl. This suggests that the advertisements successfully generated online engagement and discussions.
  3. Pre vs. Post Super Bowl Analysis:

    • The summary statistics indicate that average buzz metrics (total mentions, positive mentions, etc.) were higher after the Super Bowl compared to before. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Super Bowl advertising in increasing brand visibility and engagement.
  4. Brand-Specific Insights:

    • Each brand experienced different levels of buzz and engagement, which could imply varying levels of advertisement effectiveness or audience response.
