Adidas beweert 5 miljoen online views in twee weken te hebben gehad

MUHAMMAD ALI DAUGHTER AD PULLED HIGH WEB TRAFFIC

5 million viewings

The company said that not only did the two-week placements of a streaming media video ad, which was identical to the TV ad, prompt 5 million streams—or viewings—of the commercial, it also created heightened brand awareness among the 12- to 24-year-old consumers Adidas most wanted to reach.
