Electus Digital's CollegeHumor Joins the Movember Moustache Movement as Exclusive Digital Content Partner for the 2014 Campaign

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Groundbreaking entertainment brand CollegeHumor is proud to join the Movember movement as the exclusive digital content partner for The Movember Foundation's annual campaign to change the face of men's health. CollegeHumor will release three new original comedy videos inspired by the campaign, and will also support Movember through a series of original editorial and social media posts designed to encourage participation in the fundraising effort which challenges men to start clean-shaven on November 1^st and grow just a moustache for 30 days, getting friends, family and colleagues to donate to their moustache-growing efforts. All related content will live on a dedicated Movember hub on CollegeHumor.com. 

Actor Samuel L. Jackson narrates the first of CollegeHumor's three Movember videos, "Why You Should Register for Movember," which was released today. Two more Movember-themed original videos will be released throughout the month of October in order to raise awareness of the cause and drive participation for the initiative.

In addition to posting original videos and editorial content, CollegeHumor will leverage its network of websites, YouTube channels and social media platforms throughout the campaign to help spread the Movember message and drive activations around the organization's effort to save and improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. As they have in years past, CollegeHumor has formed a Movember Team for employees who wish to actively participate in the fundraising.

"Movember's sensibility aligns extremely well with the CollegeHumor brand, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to leverage humor to help raise awareness and generate funds for such an important cause," says Mike Mobley, Vice President of Media Sales for Electus Digital. "We're excited to be an official Movember partner this year and hope our fans and many others sign up to support the effort and grow a moustache along with us next month."

"We at Movember are big fans of CollegeHumor," said Mark Hedstrom, Country Director at Movember. "Their talent for creating hilarious and engaging content will inspire our community and their moustache-growing efforts."
