Marketing Value of a Publicist

A couple of weeks ago, the Chicago Tribune had an interview with Gilbert Gottfried.

He is the comedian with the screeching voice from the "Problem Child" movies who plays the Aflac Duck and played Iago the parrot on Disney's "Aladdin".

Anyway, since I'm into internet marketing these days, the part of the interview I
found most interesting was that the Tribune writer said that Gottfried was in town to
do some comedy clubs and his publicist mailed them, asking if they wanted to chat with him over lunch.

It shows that even stars need to keep marketing and working the press.
