The YouTube Ad Blitz channel provides a sneak peek at some of the ads that will be shown at this year’s Super Bowl Sunday. The Super Bowl is a hugely watched event in the US and advertisers pay accordingly for prime commercial spots in between plays. Ad Blitz consolidates these awesome commercials and even allows users to filter them by advertiser.
In addition to the teaser commercials, the YouTube channel also offers Fox Sports videos and ‘Toss & Catch,’ an interactive multi-screen game for smartphones and tablets.
As well as providing a neat place to watch all of the ads, the Ad Blitz channel will also open to voting to have users determine the best ads after the NFL Super Bowl XLVIII.
