\"FIFA<\/a>
<\/p>\n

Worldwide, fans and marketers alike have been waiting for today \u2013 the first day of the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup (or football if you\u2019re a Brit like me).<\/p>\n

Whilst the Super Bowl captures the attention of millions of people around the U.S., the World Cup is an event which garners the attention of hundreds of millions of fans and consumers around the world.<\/p>\n

Global Advertisers like Coke, Nike and Visa are making their own play for a share!  CBS reported that the ad revenue from the Super Bowl was around $170 million\u2026..the expected advertising budget for the World Cup \u2013 for U.S. advertisers alone (not including official product sponsorships or TV broadcasting rights) is estimated at $243 million.<\/p>\n

Advertisers are looking more towards the internet and social media to create a buzz during the month of World Cup matches.<\/p>\n
