Anderson was behind the viral Oreo ad that featured "dunking in the dark," after the blackout during Beyonce's 2013 Super Bowl performance. Anderson explains that creating real-time viral ads require a "war room." Her Oreo work started the Super Bowl "war rooms" that most advertising agencies have on any major media day. When it comes to advice in the space. Anderson says advertisemers need to "just go for it."
