David Beckham Is New Face Of Sharpie

March 10, 2008


What will they come up with next? David Beckham, soccer star extraordinaire, is the new face of Sharpie. Yes, the markers. He will begin appearing in a global ad campaign for the company, set to premiere in the States this month.

Sharpie's head Howard Heckes says: "Like the Sharpie brand, David embodies individuality and creative expression. He is the rare athlete who transcends nationality and sport to command worldwide attention, making him the perfect ambassador for Sharpie marker users who are as passionate about the bold mark of a Sharpie as they are about the colors, variety and almost limitless uses of the product."

That's so weird, because I was just thinking the other day how much my Black Sharpie I've been using to do my taxes reminds me of the greatest soccer player of our time. So many similarities!

does not appear to be much of campaign, so far...but putting money in the beckham brand will be bit risky, i know im done buying the sharpie brand - o yeah - i already have about 8 same type pens in my junk drawer - i haven't needed to buy a new one in about 5 years and counting

I honestly don't understand the company's decision to partner with Beckham. But I wish Beckham all the best in the ads. -armine

correction.. he is not the greatest football player of our time.. he is the most paid or even the most famous.. he definately isnt the 'greatest'... they are actual great football players in the world right now who are not necessarily pimping out themselves to the americans... its an insult to call him the greatest football player...

Ain't he the cunning opportunist for a has-been soccer player. No longer free of sufficient injuries to play in his native land, here he is plying his-self in the good old US of A. Maybe he can autograph his underwear ads with his new sharpies.
