Gillette and a U.K.-based social entertainment company We R Interactive made a partnership shortly after the launch of the Gillette Football Club with a view to drive registrations to the Club. According to the agreement We R Interactive's I AM PLAYR online football game will feature on the Gillette Football Club as the first and only game, and in return Gillette will be on the game through a host of narrative integration available to I AM PLAYR users who subscribe to Gillette Football Club. The subscription begins with a Gillette Sports Science Centre which will enable I AM PLAYR users to meet the Centre's staff including a Head of Sports Science, Sports Psychologist and Elite Performance Director.
