On February 1, all eyes were on Phoenix as the 49th Super Bowl commanded the stage. The anticipation for the game is only slightly rivaled by the anticipation of what takes place during breaks in the game: the commercials. Millions of eyes were fixated on the television to see which brand would provide this year’s commercial hit. Behind the scenes advertising agencies twiddled their thumbs anticipating the response from watcher everywhere. However, one group was excluded from the excitement of the anticipation. No minority agencies were asked to provide their expertise for any of the commercials.
