See the spots that were most effective at driving consumer engagement in every industry, across the entire tournament, or sorted by round.

    Championship Game

Women’s tournament ad effectiveness is on the rise.

Last year’s final between South Carolina and Iowa was the most-watched women’s college basketball game ever, and ads during the NCAA Tournament were 18% more effective than the primetime average. That’s good for a 28% year-over-year uptick in ad effectiveness.

  • NCAA women’s basketball ad effectiveness has grown in each of the past three years — across the regular season, NCAA Tournament, and title game.
  • Ads during the 2024 NCAA Tournament (excluding the championship game) were 18% more effective than the primetime average — up 28% year-over-year.
  • Ads during the 2024 NCAA Tournament final were 14% more effective than they were in 2023, and 23% more effective than 2022.
