Kate Upton Tells Guys What Women Want
Gillette (NYSE: PG), the world’s leading male grooming brand, announced Tuesday a partnership with three female celebrities: Kate Upton, Hannah Simone and Genesis Rodriguez – the first time ever that the brand has partnered with female spokespeople to spearhead an integrated marketing campaign.
They will share the opinions of women across the country to help men understand what women prefer when it comes to men’s body hair styling as the brand showcases the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler.
All three women will appear in an integrated marketing campaign, including print ads, a television ad helmed by film director Ruben Fleischer, digital media and public relations, with activities kicking off in March 2013.

Kate Upton is the all-American girl most guys wish lived next door. The Florida native has seen a meteoric rise through both modeling exposure and a handful of viral videos.
Kate was recently featured as the cover girl of the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, marking the second consecutive year she claimed that honor.

The Fusion ProGlide Styler gives guys the tool they need to achieve their style goals, whatever they may be.”
London-born Hannah Simone has taken quite the route to get where she is today. After working as a human rights and refugee officer for the U.N. in London, Hannah returned to her first love of entertainment and began hosting Canada’s MuchMusic. A move to L.A. brought her to the SyFy network and now to Fox’s hit comedy “New Girl,” where she plays Cece.

Recent projects have included “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” “The Last Stand” and “Identity Thief.” She’ll be co-starring in “Hours” later this year.
