Making a Promo Opportunity of a Scandal

by Eric Eggertson on March 17th, 2008

What cliche is appropriate? Every cloud has a silver lining? You can make a silk purse from a sow’s ear? Sleazy sex scandals can pay off?

The prostitute named in the Eliot Spitzer affair has brought in more than $200,000 in music sales, and gained some minor airplay on at least on commercial radio station.

Still waiting for the tell-all book, 60 Minutes/20-20 interview, mall openings and action figures. I’m thinking there won’t be any tie-ins with a fast food chain.
