Nike’s three ads – taking the No. 2, 4 and 9 spots – all feature World Cup players and have earned more than a 140 million combined views.
YouTube claims 1.2 billion minutes worth of World Cup ads have been viewed so far, representing four times the number of minutes spent watching Super Bowl ads this year.
