Hims & Hers Debuts Super Bowl Ad Advocating for Affordable Weight-Loss Drugs

The telehealth company challenges high drug prices with a bold ad highlighting systemic issues in the weight-loss industry.

  • Hims & Hers is airing its first-ever Super Bowl commercial during the third quarter of Super Bowl LIX, spending an estimated $14 million on the one-minute spot.
  • The ad criticizes the high costs of branded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are often inaccessible to many due to shortages and pricing.
  • Hims & Hers offers a more affordable, compounded version of semaglutide, the active ingredient in these drugs, for $199 per month, compared to the much higher prices of branded options.
  • The commercial uses a provocative tone and visual style, aiming to stand out during an event typically dominated by lighthearted ads for snacks and beverages.
  • The ad underscores the company’s mission to make healthcare more accessible and positions Hims & Hers as a disruptive player in the growing $160 billion weight-loss industry.
