USA Network Gives Away Marketing Budget

Rather than spend $1 million on advertising, USA Networks has decided to simply give it away. However, the cable network couldn’t do it without a bit of marketing thrown in. USA Network will hand out one million one dollar bills in New York and Los Angeles nightclubs with a sticker on the face of the bill promoting its January 26 premiere of is “Traffic: The Miniseries.” The promotion was cooked up and will be implemented by GoGORILLA Media, a guerilla marketing firm which is doing some of the coolest marketing you’ve ever seen.
