Polestar

The Sweden-based electric vehicle company has been gaining traction after its Super Bowl ad. It may go public in the US this year through a SPAC merger with Gores Guggenheim Inc. (NASDAQ:GGPI). It is one of the first-timers to run a commercial in the Super Bowl.

The EV company took a dig at rivals like Tesla and Volkswagen with its “no-themed” phrases throughout the ad. For instance, the phrase "No Conquering mars" was cleverly used to take an indirect dig at Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The ad was for its Polestar 2 fully electric sedan.

Also, phrases like "No dirty secret" or "No Dieselgate" may have been targeted at Volkswagen's emissions scandal. Meanwhile, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said Super Bowl is "an iconic event" and is a perfect place to increase brand awareness.
