In his presentation, Redniss had said believes the Super Bowl will be biggest social TV event ever, with what Shazam is doing and 6 to 7 brands creating apps tied to the big game.

 That includes Chevy’s Gametime app through which it will give away 20 cars, half way during the ame and half afterward, through an in- app contest. Moderater Anna Bager of the IAB says as yet unreleased research shows there will be a high level of social TV interaction among fans during this year’s Super Bowl.
