Google Pixel Wins For Second Year In A Row At The 2024 Kellogg School Super Bowl Advertising Review

Homes.com and Squarespace Fumble during the Big GameEVANSTON, Ill., Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Google Pixel is the big winner in strategic advertising rankings for the second year in a row with its 'Javier in Frame' spot in the 20th Kellogg School of Management Super Bowl Advertising Review.
