Award Winner Melissa McCarthy Named Ivory Brand "Soap" Person
Actress/Comedian Brings Simple Everyday Humor to Ivory's New Social Community, the “Soap Dish”
“We couldn’t think of a better spokesperson for Ivory”With her recent Emmy win for her role on CBS’ sitcom Mike & Molly and the wildly successful blockbuster film Bridesmaids, McCarthy has become one of the most sought-after talents in Hollywood. A seasoned comedian and character actress, McCarthy’s greatest appeal is her down-to-earth charm, relatable sense of humor and honest approach to her own busy life as a wife and working mother of two.
“I grew up using Ivory and that smell always reminds me of when I was a kid,” McCarthy said. “As a working mom of two, I love anything that simplifies my life. So when one bar of soap can handle backyard dirt, spaghetti hands, and the unidentified crusty bits under my girls’ necks - I’m in.”
Born from the insights of a national “mom” survey commissioned by Ivory, the Soap Dish is a light-hearted social community that offers women an outlet to share in the everyday humor and honesty of their lives in an unapologetic manner. The community lives on the Ivory Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Ivory) and is a place where today’s modern mom can come and just dish – share opinions, ideas, and maybe a little attitude on what it is that makes her life so complicated. As host of the Soap Dish, McCarthy will invite Ivory fans and followers to join her in dishing about everyday topics ranging from motherhood, marriage and meatloaf to much more.
“We couldn’t think of a better spokesperson for Ivory,” said Jay Sethi, Ivory brand manager. “Melissa’s humor, simple charm and down-to-earth attitude fit with every bit of Ivory’s persona. More than refreshingly honest and sincere, she is every woman and a modern mom, and we think our fans will absolutely love her.”
The Ivory Moms Survey
In an effort to better understand today’s women and moms, the brand commissioned a national survey of 1,017 moms to uncover attitudes and insights surrounding the realities of her everyday life and role as wife, mother, daughter and more.
Not surprising, the results revealed quite a bit about today’s mom. For instance, 80 percent of moms surveyed feel that motherhood is more complicated today than it was for their own mothers 20 years ago. However, more than half (54 percent) say they’re balancing life as a mother better than their own mom did. Perhaps the secret to it all? 66 percent confessed to hiding in the bathroom for much needed “me” time.
The complete survey questions and results will be shared throughout the Soap Dish community, as Ivory encourages women to laugh, live and share their everyday issues with others.
