Intel Super Bowl Drone Halftime Show

At the Super Bowl, the world’s biggest brands fight for attention. In 2017, we chose not to run an ad. Instead, we became part of the show. At a time when drones were still viewed with caution, not as entertainment, 300 of them rose into the sky before 150 million viewers, opening Lady Gaga’s halftime performance. It was the first drone show ever broadcast on television, and the first to air live.

Full Performance

The most ambitious project the Intel drone team had ever attempted. We sealed the moment with two commercials that aired immediately after the performance, letting the drones carry Intel’s story.
