TAXI DRIVER TURNS FIFTY, BUT THE TAXI BUSINESS IS MUCH OLDER: TAXIS AND DE NIRO IN TV ADVERTISING

9. 2. 2026 | 7 min read The film Taxi Driver, which premiered on 8 February 1976, is celebrating a milestone and remains one of the most influential works in film history. The producers didn’t have to spend a fortune to make it. With a budget of $1.3 million, the film, directed by Martin Scorsese, was shot mostly on the real streets of New York. The atmosphere was authentic too – the grime, adult theatres, and neon signs weren’t set pieces, but the reality of the 1970s. The main actors also added to the realism. Today, let’s take a look at taxi-themed ads and spots featuring Robert De Niro, who famously played the lead role in Taxi Driver.

IT WAS MEANT TO BE A SHOWCASE OF TECHNOLOGY, BUT NOSTALGIA STOLE THE SHOW: WHAT DOES SUPER BOWL LX REVEAL ABOUT THE STATE OF MARKETING?

8. 2. 2026 | 10 min read Super Bowl LX is behind us. The evening at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara was once again more than just a sporting event—it turned into a media platform watched by over 124.9 million viewers in the U.S., peaking at 137.8 million during the second quarter, making it the second most-watched broadcast in American television history. This level of concentrated attention also underpins an astronomical advertising business. A 30-second slot cost around $8 million on average, with some premium placements exceeding $10 million, while total investment per commercial often ranged between $15 and $25 million. This year’s edition delivered the expected dominance of artificial intelligence and tech brands, but also a surprisingly strong return to emotion, nostalgia, and clearly defined values. What truly resonated in these ads—and what inspiration can be drawn from them—is illustrated in the following examples. Lay’s: Last Harvest One of this year’s most remarkable commercials felt, dramaturgically speaking, almost out of place at the Super Bowl. The chip brand Lay’s presented a short indie-style film about an aging farmer facing his final harvest. His daughter is taking over the farm, making it a story of generational transition. Even if it may not seem so at first glance, this was a very bold spot. Snack brands at the Super Bowl typically opt for humorous, celebrity-driven presentations. Here, however, we see an authentic story centred on emotion and a narrative of “real ingredients for real people.” Especially in a year dominated by highly hyped tech showcases, Lay’s offered a moment for genuine reflection and introspection. From the perspective of the evening’s overall structure, it was something of an anomaly—one that, nevertheless, received very positive reviews.
