Budweiser hopes to mimic the success of music downloads in offering Super Bowl commercials to iPod and computer users.

Companies are now designing TV ads to appeal to the iPod generation, hoping people will like the commercials enough to download them onto their video iPods and share them.

For the first time, Anheuser-Busch Cos. will make its Super Bowl ads available for postgame downloading at Budweiser.com. The beer giant worked with Maven Networks of Cambridge to create an application that allows consumers to download their favorite beer commercials and watch them on video iPods, laptops, and computer screens.

In recent years, downloading pop songs to such devices as iPods, or episodes of TV programs to video iPods, has become a cultural phenomenon. But will TV commercials become so popular that advertisers will routinely make them available for downloads as part of their marketing campaigns?

''It's too early to tell," said Marlene Coulis, Anheuser-Busch's vice president of brand management, but she said of ads: ''A lot of people like to show them to their friends, and the iPod is a new way to pass along information."

Image

The company is encouraged by a recently launched series of iPod-friendly ads based on a character called ''Ted Ferguson, Bud Light Daredevil." In less than two months, ads have been downloaded ''tens of thousands of times," Coulis said.

Advertisers are painfully aware that traditional TV ads may be a dying breed. Cable networks and the Internet have fragmented consumers into ever smaller niches. Then there's TiVo and other digital recording systems that allow viewers to skip over TV ads.
So when advertisers plunk down $2.5 million for airtime, the estimated average cost for a 30-second ad on Super Bowl XL, they're open to using new technologies to get additional viewings of their ads.
