The game last night was anything but competitive which helped make the social screen that much more entertaining. Throughout the night there was plenty of brand and Bronco bashing amid some sound marketing that helped stretch ad dollars and put brands in the social spotlight.
As we monitored all of the ads and brand activity last night on @MarketingLand and @HashtagBowl, and we’ve highlighted our top social updates from brands, movies & companies.
