David Lee, chief creative officer at Squarespace, said “At Squarespace, we have always said that an idea isn’t real until you make a website for it.
“It’s been an honour to work alongside the cinematic legend Martin Scorsese to bring this insight to life through his lens for our 10th Super Bowl campaign.
"Our focus on design and creativity has always been at the heart of our business and the reason why people choose us – and nothing illustrates this more than our Super Bowl campaigns.”

Additional elements of the campaign include an extended version of the in-game spot, special edition movie posters, as well as additional video content, including a comedic short featuring Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca Scorsese discussing the creation of a Squarespace website.
Francesca also directed a behind-the-scenes look at the in-spot production process.
