Year No. 54 for the Super Bowl also marks year No. 3 for #BrandBowl, Twitter’s way to recognize brands that drive discussion on its platform during the game.

“McDonald’s and Volvo in 2015 were the catalysts for this,” he said, pointing to efforts during Super Bowl XLIX by the fast-food chain, which tweeted about other brands’ Super Bowl ads, and the automaker, which encouraged fans to tweet its #VolvoContest hashtag during other car brands’ commercials.
