There’s All-Star teams and then there’s All-Star team. Gillette has signed a roster of world-class athletes to represent the brand during the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

“We think Gillette’s program is the perfect start to P&G’s Olympic Games Program,” said Marc Pritchard, P&G global marketing and brand building officer. “Between them, these athletes have earned 18 world records and 55 world championships and they embody the commitment to excellence that inspires us.”

Gillette hopes to inspire future generations of Olympians by telling powerful, personal stories that illustrate the importance of a great start from the athletes’ perspective. The campaign is aimed to reinforce Gillette’s role in helping more than 800 million men around the world begin their day with a close, comfortable shave, a key part of their grooming ritual that helps them give them a great start to their day so they can look, feel and be their best.
