Prilosec OTC taps two football stars for Living Proof campaign

CINCINNATI Procter & Gamble on Tuesday announced the signing of two NFL offensive linemen — New York Giants’ David Diehl and Minnesota Vikings’ Anthony Herrera — as spokesmen of the frequent-heartburn remedy Prilosec OTC. The two NFL players will be part of the Prilosec OTC Living Proof campaign to share their heartburn protection stories over the course of the 2010-2011 NFL season.

The Prilosec OTC Living Proof campaign will feature Diehl and Herrera's stories about the importance of powerful protection on PrilosecOTC.com, and will be supported by television and digital advertising also featuring the players.

"David Diehl and Anthony Herrera are living proof that heartburn can happen to even the toughest people," stated Phil McWaters, Prilosec OTC brand manager. "These players will help people understand that frequent heartburn doesn't have to get in the way of their daily activities and that Prilosec OTC can them help manage and protect against it."
