What is Paste BN Ad Meter?

Since 1989, Paste BN Ad Meter has been the premier tool for gauging consumers’ opinions about the Super Bowl commercials. The iconic ratings have grown exponentially since that first year, moving into the digital age with a flourish. In 2013, any U.S. residents 18 years or older have been able to participate, creating even more conversation around the mini blockbusters that captivated the massive audience.
