Not only is Reese Witherspoon a hot single mother, award winning actress (that is Academy Award winning actress) and a producer, she is now the first Global Ambassador for Avon Cosmetics. As the new Global Ambassador, Reese Witherspoon will be involved in product development initiatives, appear in advertising via internet, brochures, print ads and television, as well as serving as the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation.
Reese is a perfect fit for a company that is famous for supporting women issues. With Reese being a single, working mother plus having the down to earth personality we all love, Avon has made a perfect choice! Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Avon Products, Inc., Andrea Jung says about the new Avon Representative, “As the company for women, Avon wanted to partner with someone who could represent not only our world-famous beauty brand, but also could be a source of inspiration for our more than 5 million Avon Representatives around the world – and Reese is a perfect fit. She is an accomplished actress, a successful producer and a working mother – and clearly embodies the drive, the commitment and entrepreneurial spirit that is at the heart of the Avon Representative.”
About her new adventure, Reese Witherspoon has said, “I am very excited to be partnering with Avon. Avon is more than an iconic world class beauty leader—it is a company that is known the world over as a crusader for women’s causes.”
Avon is a worldwide, leading beauty company and the world’s largest direct seller. The company known as Avon, but not named such until 1939, was started in 1886 as a perfume company. With the start of one direct seller, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee, it has now grown to over five million men and women Avon Representatives worldwide. Many recognize Avon and their popular product names such as Skin-So-Soft, Anew, and Mark. Looking for an Avon Representative in your neighborhood or want to be the Avon Lady?
