San Francisco, Calif.—Hint, the zero-calorie, zero-sweetener beverage brand and IEX, the U.S.-based stock exchange completed an advertising run last week. They both had ads around the Super Bowl, without spending the millions of dollars for a national TV campaign.
Hint placed regional ads on Fox affiliates across the country in urban areas. IEX crowdsourced a beer with traders then used stock images to create an ad to splash across social media.
