“Just like Bond, men look and feel their best when

Cincinnati-based P&G (NYSE: PG) spent $4.6
billion on U.S. advertising last year, more
than any other company. That was about half of the total of $9.2 billion
spent on advertising worldwide by P&G. This is just the latest movie tie-in
for the consumer goods firm. Earlier this year, P&G promoted its Gillette
razors with
a campaign linked to the "Avengers" movie featuring Iron Man, Captain
America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk.

remember them very accurately. I think that even the way in which a man
shave’s in the morning is well worth recording.”
Quotes from Fleming also will be included in print,
online and in-store ads for Gillette.The New York-based Grey advertising agency
did the creative work.
“Spectre,” the 24th Bond film, is to be released
in U.S. theaters Nov. 6.
P&G teamed with Eon Productions, which makes the
Bond films, on commercial tie-ins to the previous "Skyfall" movie
featuring 007. That 2012 ad campaign focused on the launch of a P&G line of James
Bond 007 fragrances. P&G is selling the fragrance brand as
part of a multibillion-dollar deal with Coty Inc.
