Social media made a bigger impact on the Super Bowl this year than ever before. The 12.2 Million social-media comments for this years' big game completely dwarfs last year's measly 1.8 Million comments. This number mark 2012's Super Bowl as the biggest social TV event of the year easily surpassing the 2011 MTV Music Awards which only recorded 3.1 Million social-media comments.

It is reported by Wall Street Journal that "Pepsi is launching its first new ad campaign for Pepsi-Cola in three years." The reason that Pepsi is turning its attention back to traditional advertising (after a sole commitment to online, social, event, and new media channels) is because its biggest brand--Pepsi-Cola slid to Number 3 in US soda sales last year, following not only Coke, but also Diet Coke. Who says traditional media is dead?
