We haven't seen all the Super Bowl ads yet, but we know independent workers will be featured in two of them.
Squarespace's ad (below) features Dolly Parton singing 5-9, a take off on her hit song and movie 9-5. It shows a variety of side giggers pursuing their passions.
Fiverr also has a Super Bowl ad, but we haven't seen it yet. But no doubt it will feature creative independents.
Being featured in Super Bowl ads is a clear signal that independent work in general and side gigs have gone mainstream.
