“This partnership marks an exciting milestone for our sports marketing vertical – our entrance into college sports, and with an incredible major athletic program competing in the SEC,” said Paul Tran, Founder and CEO of MANSCAPED. “Our Gen Z consumers make up a passionate and growing demographic of our customer base. With this partnership, we’re supporting them in a way that is true to our marketing foundation and sure to make everyone smile.”

Already underway, the brand’s South Carolina Gamecocks’ partnership encompasses many programs including football, men’s basketball, and baseball. MANSCAPED will receive exposure through such areas as in-venue signage, television-visible signage, and social and digital integration.

“We’re pleased to partner with MANSCAPED on the brand’s first U.S. college sports relationship, and we welcome them to Gamecock nation,” said Darren McPhail, general manager for Gamecock Sports Properties, the university’s athletics multimedia rightsholder and local Learfield IMG College team.

A gamecock, of course, is a fighting rooster known for its spirit and courage – two traits that seamlessly resonate with the MANSCAPED brand and its mission to unlock confidence in men. The pride that South Carolina athletes and fans showcase in Gamecock culture and their beloved mascot, Cocky, is something special and storied. Cocky himself has been generating enthusiasm at sporting events 40 years strong at the 200+ year-old university. Now, they have another boost of morale knowing MANSCAPED’s on their side.

Servicing men from California to the Carolinas, MANSCAPED is available via a custom one-stop-shop, on Amazon, and in Target and Best Buy across that 3,000-mile span. One billion consumers in more than 30 countries can also purchase MANSCAPED products by visiting www.manscaped.com.
