We believe in strengthening the brand through sport and doing so not only conquering the consumers, but also the fans. By increasing the knowledge of the brands it is possible to attract different opinion leaderships.”
Colleague Juliana Azevedo, marketing director at Head & Shoulders adds: “We have been supporting sports as football, MMA and great names of the sports such as Lionel Messi, Michael Phelps and Lyoto Machida. With Bruno we set up a strong partnership to consolidate our already strong presence in the sports”,
Bruno Senna comments: “I’m glad to count on sponsors such as Gillette and Head & Shoulders supporting my career and trusting in my potential. We have been together for nearly three years and during this time we have built a very close, almost family-like relationship. I’m looking forward to introducing them to the WEC.”
