Former football star Tony Siragusa is known as one of the toughest guys to step foot on the gridiron. Now he’s using his manly persona to launch a new program with Depend called Guard Your Manhood, which aims to help give men living with light bladder leakage the confidence to enjoy an active lifestyle.
MMC and Tony conducted a media day Thursday to launch the program where Tony conducted over 30 interviews with sports and local broadcast outlets. Coverage so far has been featured on AdAge.com and Michigan Talk Radio and lots of people are buzzing about Tony’s new partnership.
Many men don’t realize how common light bladder leakage is, but it’s often a side effect of prostate cancer treatment. Tony is training men with light bladder leakage to get back in the game with tips and tools, including new Depend Guards and Shields, two new products that are made to fit a man’s body. Tony’s participation benefits The V Foundation for Cancer Research, which will receive a $50,000 donation in his name to help fund cutting-edge prostate cancer research.

Last year, MMC, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in July, won a record number of awards for client work, the agency, and agency staff. See the article here for more.
