Gillette Venus Announces Jennifer Lopez as First-Ever Global Ambassador

Partners with Brand to Help Reveal the Goddess in Every Woman; Launch New Philanthropic Effort Dedicated to Female Empowerment Through Education

February 2nd, 2011-NEW YORK, NY- Professionally, the world knows her as a music icon, actress, designer, TV and music producer and philanthropist; personally she is a dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend. Jennifer Lopez, the ultimate modern goddess, is now the one and only Venus Goddess. As our first-ever global ambassador, she'll inspire women around the world to "reveal the Goddess in you," which means feeling their most confident, powerful and beautiful, inside and out. Lopez-and her amazing legs-will star in all elements of the brand's 2011 holistic marketing campaign, supporting the total brand portfolio, which includes TV and print advertising, public relations, digital, social media and in-store communications. The campaign also includes Jennifer's exclusive remake of the iconic Venus song, plus the launch of a new philanthropic effort dedicated to empowering women through education: the Venus Goddess Fund for Education.

"The Venus brand empowers women and speaks to the 'goddess' in every one of us," says Lopez. "Every woman is a goddess in her own right when we let our best feminine self shine through. Venus keeps my legs looking beautiful, giving me the confidence to feel just like a goddess."

The newly established Venus Goddess Fund for Education will carry the brand's "goddess" message to a whole new level by enabling global educational opportunities for women, through partnership with organizations such as CARE International, the Step Up Women's Network and Lopez's own Maribel Foundation. Founded by Lopez and her sister, Lynda, the mission of The Maribel Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and children including raising the level of medical care available to them. Venus believes that education provides a strong foundation for future success, and each of these organizations teaches and empowers women to excel in unique ways, whether via mentorship, schooling or even healthcare for their children.

"Jennifer is a Venus Goddess in every sense of the word. Our brand celebrates the multi-dimensionality of women, and no one embodies that more than her," says Sonia Fife, General Manager, Global Venus, P&G Beauty. "You're not just a goddess in the big moments in life, but in the little ones, too. Jennifer shared much of her personal experience as part of this campaign, and she's every bit a goddess relaxing at home with her children, or performing on-stage, showing off those rock star legs."

Together, Venus and Jennifer Lopez will inspire women everywhere to shine from the inside out and empower them through education.
