As part of their job requirement, the interns will be capturing photos/video and reporting on their scent-inspired adventures in Matterhorn and Fiji, through a number of different social media channels. Each intern will also be outfitted with $5,000 and an itinerary of “jobs” to complete and document while on location.

To help better prepare the interns for their adventure, Old Spice is teaming up with two world-class athletes: professional snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler and professional surfer Anastasia Ashley, who are coming on-board as internship mentors. Check out some of the pics from the Old Spice photoshoot with Gretchen and Anastasia.

CINCINNATI (MARCH 15, 2010) – Old Spice (NYSE: PG) today announced the launch of the Fresh Collection, a line of antiperspirant/deodorants that gives guys the chance to smell like some of the freshest places on earth. Designed by the scent experts at Procter & Gamble, Fresh Collection combines the great protection guys have come to know and expect from Old Spice, with a blend of fresh fragrances that are subtle and not overpowering. Fresh Collection is inspired by four well-known lands from across the globe, each one containing scent notes familiar to that location:

– Fiji: Smells like palm trees, sunshine and freedom
– Matterhorn: Smells like ice, wind and freedom
– Cyprus: Smells like limes, an ocean breeze and freedom
– Denali: Smells like wilderness, open air and freedom

“The Fresh Collection will change the way a lot of people think about Old Spice,” said James Moorhead, Old Spice Deodorant Brand Manager. “The scents are clean and fresh and are specifically designed for guys who want to avoid scents that are too strong or too musky.”

Old Spice Fresh Adventure Internship
To celebrate the Fresh Collection launch, Old Spice is seeking two qualified candidates for internship positions to explore where freshness smells from, embarking on a unique journey enabling them to live and breathe all of the experiences that Fiji and Matterhorn have to offer.

In May, two candidates will be hired to participate in the Old Spice Fresh Adventure Internship. As part of their job requirement, the interns will be reporting on their scent-inspired adventures via social media channels and a special blog on www.OldSpice.com. Prior to traveling, each intern will be outfitted with $5,000 and an itinerary of “jobs” to complete and document while on location such as:

Don traditional Swiss lederhosen and tear up the mountain while snowboarding some of the world’s best snow. Attach 10 Velcro-padded sticks of Old Spice Matterhorn to the Lederhosen suspenders and hand out to 5 other skiers and snowboarders on the mountain – while yelling out “You smell like Matterhorn!!” – at the same time. Use your helmet cam (provided by Old Spice) to capture video of you in action – and reaction shots.

Forget the roulette wheel and fancy cars…but don’t forget the threads. Don a tuxedo and head up to Klein Mountain and snowboard/ski till you fly by Plateau Rosa…Italy. Capture the multi-country adventure taping proof that you were in two different countries on the same day.

Weave a hat from palm fronds, incorporating a stick of Old Spice Fiji as part of the design. Hit the waves and keep the hat on…in fact, go ahead and wear the hat the rest of your trip (mandatory – videotape proof).

Participate in the Aqua-Trek Shark Encounter (with a certified guide), take a photo of the largest shark that makes you sweat and make sure your water-proof Old Spice Fiji is in the shot.

“The Old Spice Fresh Collection reflects a sense of adventure that is synonymous with the Old Spice brand,” said Moorhead. “The internship is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone to get real hands-on experience in various fields such as oceanography – surfing in Fiji, and geography – snowboarding from Switzerland to Italy in the same day.”

To help better prepare the interns for their adventure, Old Spice is teaming up with two world-class athletes: professional snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler and professional surfer Anastasia Ashley, who are coming on-board as internship mentors.

CINCINNATI (Jan.8, 2010) – Old Spice knows Swagger. So it is fitting that today Old Spice announced the first-ever Swagger Rankings, an index recognizing which NFL teams have the Most Swagger – a nod to the male grooming brand’s most popular scent and a highly-referred to term denoting those who play and act with confidence.

“When it comes to Swagger, it’s not just about a winning record, it’s also about playing with confidence and a winning attitude,” said James Moorhead, Old Spice Deodorant Brand Manager. “As the official deodorant and body wash of the NFL, Old Spice knows that having Swagger gives players and teams an extra edge both on and off the field.”

To determine the 15 teams with the most Swagger, Old Spice worked with the NFL to obtain and analyze statistics from the past 3.5 years (2006 through week 9 of the 2009 season), looking at key factors that embody the definition of Swagger. The teams that topped the list scored high marks in a variety of categories:

• Red Zone Performance: Scoring and Tackling when it counts requires Swagger on both sides of the ball
• Taking Your Swagger on the Road: Winning a game while tens of thousands cheer against you requires massive amounts of Swagger
• Fourth Down Conversions: It’s fourth down. You have to have Swagger to go for it…and make it
• Gentleman’s Game: It takes a different level of Swagger to play the game by the rules and avoid penalties
• Merchandise Sales: When fans wear your team colors like a uniform, you definitely have Swagger

Old Spice Swagger Rankings:
1. Indianapolis Colts
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
3. New England Patriots
4. New Orleans Saints
5. Minnesota Vikings
6. San Diego Chargers
7. Dallas Cowboys
8. Philadelphia Eagles
9. Cincinnati Bengals
10. New York Jets
11. Denver Broncos
12. Seattle Seahawks
13. Kansas City Chiefs
14. Miami Dolphins
15. San Francisco 49ers

“For a team to consistently perform at a high level, they need to have swagger,” said ESPN Analyst, Keyshawn Johnson. “Behind the win-loss records, teams need to have confidence to always step up and deliver their best, and swagger is one of the things that fuels a championship-winning team.”
