In a landmark collaboration bringing together two idols of American pop culture, supermodel Marisa Miller is teaming-up with party icon Captain Morgan to serve as the Captain’s «Official First Mate» for the world’s leading premium spiced rum brand.

In her role as First Mate, the deal will see Miller integrated into several consumer touch points for the Captain Morgan brand, including digital, point of sale, advertising, social responsibility communication and event appearances. The relationship kicked-off at this year’s inaugural Guys Choice Awards where the Captain and his first mate cavorted along the red carpet to the joy of all the attending paparazzi in tow.

Born in the coastal city of Santa Cruz, California, Marisa first appeared in the 2002 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and appeared on the cover in 2008, securing her position within the modeling industry. As a result, clients such as Victoria’s Secret hired the blond bombshell to endorse their brands. Marisa is also the first-ever face of Harley Davidson®. She teamed up with Harley Davidson for the third time in the brand’s 2010 campaign. Marisa has graced the covers of magazines like Vogue, Esquire, Shape, Cosmo, Maxim, Sports Illustrated and Ocean Drive and has appeared on talk shows such as David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Ellen.
