https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/456018516831784961Gillette, the world’s leading male grooming brand, is enhancing its collaboration with McLaren Mercedes, one of the most prestigious and successful teams in F1 history. The two brands are extending their partnership to bring to life an innovative marketing campaign focused on Precision Engineering.
The partnership covers the Europe, Middle East and Africa. Gillette and McLaren, which share an ethos of innovation and precision engineering, are coming together for an exciting new marketing campaign emphasising the ways the two brands push boundaries of technology. With this partnership, the male shaving category will move up a gear.
As the ultimate male grooming and high-technology experts, Gillette and McLaren constantly innovate to achieve greater precision and enhanced performance. Ultimate precision technology and a passion for winning are deeply encoded in the DNA of both brands. Gillette and McLaren lead engineering refinement, whether that’s seen in developing blades thinner than a wave length of light, or engineering car components that are accurate tolerances of a fraction of a human hair.
Gillette ushered in the era of modern shaving and for 110 years constantly reinvented the shaving category. McLaren pioneered the first carbon fibre chassis in Formula 1 and introduced advanced electronic systems leading to decades of ground-breaking achievements on the track.
This passion for the best will be further leveraged through a pioneering sports marketing campaign that aims to reach and inspire millions of men with cutting edge communication behind TV, Digital, PR and In-store programs. McLaren Mercedes F1 drivers Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen will engage men’s passion for Formula 1 and thrill the millions that enjoy Gillette grooming expertise and superior technology day in, day out.
Eric Boullier, Racing Director at McLaren Mercedes, said: "It is very exciting to be able to announce a new partnership between McLaren Mercedes and Gillette. Gillette is synonymous with precision engineering and with innovation. These are values we hold dear at McLaren as we strive to deliver world beating performance. The fact that a global brand, of the stature of Gillette, has chosen to engage in a major multi-national partnership with McLaren Mercedes is also a reflection of the strength of our brand and our ability to reach millions of avid motorsport fans around the world."
"Gillette has a rich heritage of making men feel and be at their best. We stand for excellence in shaving. We couldn’t think of any partner that shares those values more than McLaren Mercedes”, commented Hossam Ashour, Gillette Europe, the Middle East and Africa Shave Care Vice President. “For more than 40 years McLaren has innovated in superior engineering and performance. This makes them the ideal partner to demonstrate our belief in the importance of the precision when it comes to shaving."
Like McLaren Mercedes, its Official Partner, Gillette has always applied immaculate detail to every one of its own innovations; engineering and refining products down to the microscopic razor’s edge. It is this precision that gives 800 million men across the globe the edge; shaving performance that makes them look, feel and perform at their best. With years of technological and product innovation of this calibre, Gillette has created its most advanced razor ever – as seen in the Gillette Fusion ProGlide, a true advancement in shaving precision and performance.

)))))) Anyway its a good news to finally have official partner but does this mean and title sponsor or not? No does not sound like itThunders wrote:Great News. But that doesn't sound like the new Title Sponsorship yet. So there's more to come.
But i'm now pretty sure what will be on the Side Pods in China.
Though it would look cool in a livery the same colors at that shaver. Black/Blue/Silver.Holm86 wrote:No does not sound like itThunders wrote:Great News. But that doesn't sound like the new Title Sponsorship yet. So there's more to come.

P+G sponsorship (Gillete and Head & Shoulders) followed Bruno Senna - started at Lotus Renault GP when he replaced Heidfeld, then followed him to Williams (and now Aston Martin in the WEC). Gillette and McLaren started their relationship last year focussing on the Asian market which has now expanded, but P+G have previously utilised Jenson (and Sebastian Vettel) in Head & Shoulders adverts.Alexgtt wrote:It does say official partner, not title sponsor. Great fit though. Didn't Williams have a tie in with Gillette?
Paddock rumours via Ted Kravitz is that he's going to Ferrari.mclaren_mircea wrote:Does anyone have some infos/sources/rumours about which direction Bob Bell will head? Omnicorse says Ferrari, Autosprind and Pitlane Talk says Mclaren. Any update news?
Yeah, he seemed to make a horlicks of that. He also said that Podromou wasn't going to McLaren, when we already know he's on gardening leave. He was a bit surprised by the question, and didn't seem prepared. Unusual for Kravitz to get things wrong.CjC wrote:Paddock rumours via Ted Kravitz is that he's going to Ferrari.mclaren_mircea wrote:Does anyone have some infos/sources/rumours about which direction Bob Bell will head?

Ted also said that Dan Fallows IS a mclaren employee and is joining Red Bull, that wasn't my understanding right?
