Rocket Makes Super Bowl History with Own the Dream Ad and Live In-Stadium Singalong

A first-of-its-kind Super Bowl moment blends an anthemic ad with a live stadium singalong, uniting Americans in a call to come home

DETROIT, Feb. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), the Detroit-based fintech platform company consisting of mortgage, real estate and personal finance businesses, tonight launched its Own the Dream integrated marketing campaign during the second quarter of Super Bowl LIX. The company’s ad spot turned into a nationwide singalong, bringing millions of Americans together.

 

The 60-second ad is a tribute to the meaning of home. Set to a reimagined version of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” it captures everyday Americans returning to the places that matter most – from children playing in backyard sprinklers to veterans reuniting with loved ones.

As the final words, “Everyone deserves their shot at the American Dream. Own the Dream.” filled the screen, Rocket delivered a Super Bowl first. The stadium became part of the story. When the broadcast returned to the game, more than 65,000 fans at Caesars Superdome broke into a live singing of John Denver’s anthem.

“From the start, this was more than a commercial. We set out to create a moment that captures the raw, emotional journey of chasing a dream that once felt out of reach,” said Jonathan Mildenhall, Chief Marketing Officer of Rocket. “For many Americans, that is homeownership – the foundation for financial security, prosperity and a better future. Tonight, we reminded America that home is something to believe in, fight for and make a reality for everyone.”

The Own the Dream ad was created by independent award-winning agency, Mirimar, in collaboration with Rocket’s in-house creative team, and directed by Matthew Dillon Cohen in his Super Bowl debut. The ad and following historic singalong seamlessly blended emotion and spectacle.

The Super Bowl campaign underscores Rocket’s mission to help make owning a home more accessible for Americans. Own the Dream builds on Rocket’s 40-year legacy and newly rebranded visual identity, marking the next chapter in the brand’s evolution and showcasing how homeownership can unite the nation.

Operators Can Sync Menus and Listings and Respond to Reviews Instantly

ATLANTA, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With competition for guests at an all-time high, 87% of U.S. restaurant operators plan to sharpen focus on reputation management in 2026. Restaurant tech leader Popmenu is expanding its partnership with Yext, the leading brand visibility platform, to provide operators with smarter, faster ways to elevate brand perception and guest engagement at scale.

In 2025, Popmenu rolled out a direct integration with Yext that makes it easy for restaurants to manage and immediately update their listings (name, address, phone number, etc.) on 70+ platforms such as Yelp, OpenTable and Facebook. Operators can also monitor and respond to reviews on Google and other third-party sites from their Popmenu dashboard—leveraging AI to personalize messages in the restaurant’s brand voice and automatically respond to positive reviews. This augments Popmenu’s long-standing strength in featuring powerful first-party reviews on its client websites.

This year, Popmenu and Yext deepened their integration with an automated menu sync, enabling restaurants to keep their menus updated in real time across platforms down to the specific location.

“A restaurant’s digital storefront extends beyond their website to every third-party platform where potential guests discover listings and reviews,” said Brendan Sweeney, CEO and Co-founder of Popmenu. “Restaurant operators work hard to build their business. Popmenu’s integration with Yext removes friction that causes outdated information and negative impressions from unanswered critiques. Centralizing reputation management in our platform puts control back in operators’ hands and enables swift, scalable action that directly influences purchases.”

Popmenu’s 2025 study of 300 U.S. restaurant operators found that one third work on their online reputation daily while 48% do so frequently; 20% do so occasionally or rarely.
