With it being a political year, you would expect the concepting of this ad to be in relation to President Trump’s platform of American-made products and American jobs, but according to David MacNeil, the CEO of MacNeil Automotive Products, that’s not the case. In a chicagobusiness.com article, MacNeil was quoted to say, “We’ve been on a steady course of supporting American jobs, American factories, American business and of course the American workers for many years before there was anything political about it,” he said. “We’re continuing on that exact same path we’ve always been on because that’s what we believe in.”

After tonight’s game, we will see if @WeatherTech branding through their Super Bowl spot will receive the anticipated reaction they are expecting.
