We realized Silicon Valley inventors are today’s rock stars. We’re thrilled to have a stage as significant as the Super Bowl football game to showcase all that Best Buy has to offer in its shops and on the web.

Best Buy’s big game commercial was created by agency CP+B and directed by Wayne McClammy. It was shot in 6 locations across 3 countries.
