Tie-ins

Super Bowl advertisers also licensed some major songs and entertainment properties this year, another indicator that they’re spending big on the ads.

The rest of the freshman class

Among this year’s other Super Bowl newcomers are:

Colgate $CL
Outdoor brand Marmot
Henkel’s Persil ProClean detergent
Quicken Loans’ Rocket Mortgage
Bai Antioxidant Infusions
PepsiCo $PEP-owned Mountain Dew Kickstart is making its Super Bowl debut with an absurd ad featuring a dancing creature that is part puppy, part monkey, and part baby. It’s a “puppy-monkey-baby,” as the rattle-shaking creature repeats like a mantra.
Fitbit will run a 30 second spot at the top of the third quarter to promote its new Blaze fitness watch.
And financial startup SoFi and PayPal $PYPL are premiering their first Super Bowl commercials on Sunday, as is the Atlanta-based bank SunTrust. (They join Intuit $INTU’s returning TurboTax and Quickbooks brands among the financial-services companies running ads. The latter has turned its ad time over to an 11-person coffee company called Death Wish Coffee, which won the small-business software’s Super Bowl contest.)

Odds and ends (and halftimes)

Speaking of contests: Frito-Lay’s Doritos will run one of three ads from the final round of its decade-old “Crash the Super Bowl” contest on Sunday.
Pepsi is sponsoring the half-time show again this year, which will star Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars. And singer Janelle Monae will show off her dance moves in a Pepsi commercial that pays homage to America’s greatest performers.

AB InBev’s Michelob Ultra is running an ad in the game as well.
The NFL and Super Bowl host network also get more than 15% of the ad time during game—airing on Feb. 7 at 6:30 pm. CBS is this year’s broadcaster, so we can expect the network to promote its programming. And, once again, the NFL donated a 30-second slot to the anti-domestic violence group No More.

Sneak peeks

The Super Bowl is also a big stage for movie trailers and we can expect a few to drop during the game.

Walt Disney $DIS Pictures will tease its live-action Alice in Wonderland adaptation, called Through the Looking Glass, with an ad featuring the voice of the late-Alan Rickman, who played the blue caterpillar in the film. Disney is also expected to air a spot for Captain America: Civil War or one of its other upcoming releases like The Jungle Book.
Meanwhile, Fox has two 30-second ad slots in the game, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which cited unnamed sources. The studio hasn’t revealed what films it will promote, but Deadpool, Eddie the Eagle, Independence Day: Resurgence, and X-Men: Apocalypse are all due out by summer.
Universal also reportedly bought a 60-second spot for an undisclosed trailer.
Paramount $PARA will air a 30-second commercial for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

What we don’t know

While most of the Super Bowl creative has been released or teased online by this point, there are always a few surprises.

Coca-Cola $KO, for one, hasn’t said much about the 60-second spot it will run in the game, but hinted it will feature Marvel characters.
And Budweiser‘s iconic Clydesdales are noticeably absent from the spots and teasers that have been released so far, but are expected to appear in the game.
