Evian hires controversial Fyre Festival producer
'Who's thirsty!?' Andy King joked on Instagram
Morning Business Outlook: Private 35-acre Saddleback Cay Island in the Bahamas, which was featured in the failed Fyre Festival's promotional video, on the market for $11.8 million; Tesla reports over 95,000 cars were delivered during the company's second quarter.
Andy King is thirsty for success.
The events producer for the failed 2017 Fyre Festival has landed a new partnership with Evian water. He was thrust into the spotlight when he said in a Netflix documentary he was willing to perform oral sex in order to ensure that festivalgoers were provided with the name brand.
The "Fyre" documentary was released last year, exploring how promoter Billy McFarland enticed people to pay big money to attend the festival in the Bahamas, when the housing and infrastructure were nowhere near ready to host an event that was billed as a luxury experience.

Evian did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX Business but said in a press release it "is honoring Mr. King by creating a custom Evian water bottle which includes a new slogan that states, 'so good you'd do anything for it.'"
The company launched a contest Friday, where 10 people can win a custom King bottle.
