Why F1 pundit Patrick is the Super Bowl Queen
From Danica Patrick’s reign as the most successful woman in American open-wheel racing history to her “GoDaddy Girl” persona, her Super Bowl ads have been a source of controversy and debate for years. Despite her recent role as an F1 pundit for Sky Sports, Patrick was a Super Sunday staple for over a decade, commanding high fees from advertisers aiming to reach a large TV audience. While the Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Danica, with a record-breaking 14 Super Bowl ad appearances, won’t be gracing our screens tonight, a majority of them being for her car sponsor, GoDaddy, known for provocative and divisive marketing tactics. Partnering with GoDaddy allowed Danica to take part in attention-grabbing ad campaigns that often courted controversy, even drawing criticism for being sexist and offensive. Despite mixed reactions and backlash, some argue that these controversial ads did serve their purpose, not to mention the coveted marketing opportunity that a Super Bowl ad slot presents to companies. The debate rages on whether the bold approach was worth the hefty price tag, but one thing is certain: Danica Patrick’s legacy in Super Bowl advertising is just as polarizing as it is record-breaking.
