Gillette picks trio of global 'faces'

Marketing 31-Jan-07

Gillette has signed sporting stars Thierry Henry, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer to replace David Beckham as its global brand ambassadors.

The three sportsmen have accepted two-year deals to become the faces of
the brand.

Beckham's £40m three-year deal with the FMCG brand expires in
June, though according to his management team, a global deal is still a

possibility. It is also understood that a US extension to the deal might

be struck following his agreed transfer to LA Galaxy.

Gillette is planning a major campaign, created by BBDO, featuring the
trio of stars. The ads are due to break in July.

Beckham signed a deal with Disney last week to promote its theme parks
and resorts. He joins singer Beyonce Knowles, as a celebrity backer of
the Disney brand.
