The sportswear firm has been ordered to stop a Twitter marketing drive involving England football stars Wayne Rooney and Jack Wilshere following a complaint, according to guardian.co.uk.

The ASA told Nike the problem was that tweets were not clearly identifiable as promotional material; for instance, by including ‘#ad’ in the messages.
