These Shazam/Chipwrecked uses will live on in your Tag List, providing access to the extras you can “snack on” anytime and anywhere, so you can engage with the movie even when you aren’t near a television. Additionally, with the Shazam Friends feature, you can share your interest in Chipwrecked with your friends on Facebook.

The campaign runs today through end of December and the movie opens on December 16th.

With more than 165 million people using the service, Shazam is quickly becoming an integral part of the marketing mix for television shows, brands and now production companies around the globe who want to offer viewers a fun and engaging way to interact with their programs, commercials or movie promotions. When people use Shazam when watching TV, they have access to additional information, special offers and even exclusive downloads.

According to a US survey commissioned by Nielsen and Yahoo, 86% of smartphone users are engaged with their phones while watching TV. Shazam integrates social media allowing people to share their tags on Twitter or use the Shazam Friends feature to post their discoveries to their Facebook friends and see a real-time feed of what their friends are watching.
