Announcing Katie Holmes as Co-Owner and Spokesperson for Alterna Haircare

Alterna Haircare is proud to announce actress and entrepreneur Katie Holmes as co-owner and first-ever celebrity spokesperson for the brand. Over the course of her multi-year relationship with Alterna, Holmes will be sharing her creative and consumer insights to help the brand continue to grow and expand its devout consumer following around the world, as well as inspire salon and retail partners.
“Katie inspired us by gracefully evolving from an actress to a multi-faceted artist, designer and style icon,” says Joan Malloy, President/CEO of Alterna Haircare. “We’re confident that adding Katie’s natural beauty, gorgeous hair and creative instincts to our state-of-the-art, results-driven haircare collection will be a game-changing combination.”
Consumers will get their first glimpse at the partnership with the Spring 2013 integrated marketing campaign, which will appear in March women’s beauty, lifestyle and salon trade publications. This will be the largest ad campaign for the company since its inception; the campaign invites consumers to experience the “transformational” power of Alterna products “after just one use” via product sampling.
“I’m really proud to be a part of this company – not only because the products are incredible, but because their ‘accessible luxury’ and ‘free of’ philosophy really speaks to me,” Holmes says.
