The spot has also earned over 36,500 organic online views. The spot premiered March 26 during NCAA Basketball\u2019s Sweet Sixteen on CBS and TBS. By the end of its first week, Southwest Airlines outspent its nearest rival, Delta Airlines, by 10-to-1 on national TV advertising.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear the success of the first spot prompted Southwest to invest heavily upfront this time around. With the campaign targeted toward March Madness and appearing mostly on those networks, the MTV star hasn\u2019t been seen on her home network. At least not yet. iSpot.tv will continue to track every occurrence, online view, tweet, and estimated cost associated with the our traveling dancing bachelorette. In the meantime, let\u2019s view analytics on the original ad that debuted in October 2014.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hub-cdn.ispot.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/18170933\/Southwest-data.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-850 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hub-cdn.ispot.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/18170933\/Southwest-data.jpg\" alt=\"Southwest Airlines &quot;Wedding Season Dance Party&quot; Data\" width=\"640\" height=\"597\" \/><\/a>With Ms. Wetterlund catching the bride\u2019s bouquet at the end of the new spot, will our dancing diva remain the perpetual bachelorette in the next spot?
