Movember 2015 brings you the Sexy Men of Technology Calendar

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GSW, an industry leader in healthcare advertising and an inVentiv Health company, and LiveTiles, a global technology company headquartered in Times Square, NYC, have partnered to unveil the Sexy Men of Technology Calendar for Movember 2015, a public awareness campaign from the Movember Foundation.

The Movember Foundation is the global charity raising funds and awareness for men's health. Every November, the Foundation challenges men to grow and women to support a moustache or make a commitment to get active and MOVE for 30 days. It's the moustache that starts a conversation about men's health, and it's MOVE that puts the Foundation's vision, to have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health, into immediate action. The Movember Foundation has raised more than $650 million to date and helped fund over 1,000 men's health programs in 21 countries.

"As a company operating in an industry that is predominately male we were looking for a creative way to make some noise around men's health and to encourage men to go to the doctor and take their health seriously," said Karl Redenbach, Co-founder and CEO of LiveTiles. "The calendar serves as a great vehicle to convey that message and what better way to do so than through humor." 

GSW prides itself on their Speak People platform, which strives to impact people's lives by building stories through human truths. For this reason, when LiveTiles came to GSW seeking creative counsel on how to create awareness around men's health beyond Movember, GSW welcomed the challenge.

"The technology industry is approximately 75% male* and 100% of these men have prostates. Prostate cancer is one of the main conditions that Movember focuses on each year. By using humorous insights like this, the hope is this approach will make men take a second look at their health, inspire them to donate to issues that affect men around the globe, and take control over their own health," said President of GSW Marci Piasecki.

The calendar's message is much more than just humor – it's humor with a message. Each month highlights a different man of IT, each representing a different technology provider, including LiveTiles, Microsoft and Apple, alongside men's health-related issues. Photography plays off each individual's  personality and relevant seasonal activity. Monthly topics include health and fitness; colorectal screening; testicular cancer; skin cancer; healthy eating; hydration; depression; safe sex; and more.

"Being deeply involved in building effective communication solutions in healthcare, we are so proud to support LiveTiles and Movember," added Piasecki. "The level of awareness Movember creates is outstanding and GSW is honored to be a partner and help spread the message 365 days a year."

Calendars are $35 for printed versions and $20 for digital downloads and can be purchased through www.sexymenoftechnology.com. All proceeds will benefit the Movember Foundation.
