As they imagine what their empty rooms could become, Gemini\u2019s Nano Banana and Connected Apps help bring those ideas to life through text prompts, photo inspiration, and AI-powered visualizations.<\/p>\n<p>Set to Randy Newman\u2019s Feels Like Home, the film never feels like a tech demo. Instead, Gemini operates gently in the background, enabling creativity and connection rather than calling attention to itself. The result is a story that feels grounded and emotional, reinforcing Google\u2019s broader platform, \u201cA new kind of help from Google,\u201d which previously introduced audiences to films like \u201cMr. Fuzzy\u2019s Big Adventure.\u201d \u201cNew Home\u201d will air during the third quarter of the Super Bowl and continue across broadcast, digital, and social. Watch below:<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Gemini, YouTube TV enters the Big Game conversation with its pre-game and Winter Olympics campaign, \u201cDon\u2019t Settle for Meh,\u201d a playful, celebrity-packed push that asks viewers a simple question: why accept a mediocre TV experience when you don\u2019t have to?<\/p>\n<p>Led by Jason and Kylie Kelce, the campaign also features Gordon Ramsay, Christian McCaffrey, David Blaine, Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes, and more. The spots riff on the idea of \u201cmeh\u201d moments across food, magic, and sports, drawing a direct line back to YouTube TV\u2019s promise of a better live TV experience. It\u2019s broad, funny, and intentionally over-the-top, providing a tonal counterbalance to Gemini\u2019s softer storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the Gemini and YouTube TV spots anchor a fully integrated Super Bowl rollout that extends far beyond the broadcast. Google is backing the campaign with OLV, OOH, social, influencer partnerships, and experiential activations, including \u201cInstant Replay\u201d digital spots styled like live sports commentary. In the Bay Area, Gemini branding will appear across billboards and transit, while Lyft Ads partnerships and Gemini-branded Bay Wheels bikes offer ride credits through Super Bowl weekend. Gemini will also power fan experiences at EA Sports\u2019 Madden Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Taken as a whole, Google\u2019s Super Bowl presence strikes a confident balance. Gemini\u2019s \u201cNew Home\u201d shows AI as something personal and quietly empowering, while YouTube TV\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Settle for Meh\u201d leans fully into entertainment and cultural spectacle. Together, they reflect a brand comfortable operating at both ends of the emotional spectrum, proving that technology can be useful, joyful, and human all at once on the biggest stage in advertising.<\/p>\n<p>CREDITS:<\/p>\n<p>BRAND: Google Gemini<\/p>\n<p>BRAND: YouTube TV<br \/>\u2022 Executive Producer, Google: Eric Leiberman<br \/>\u2022 Executive Producer, Google: Kelsey Gliva<br
