 Stewart brand 'needs closure' | The San Diego Union-Tribune
A delayed resolution to Stewart's legal situation does not bode well for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, whose officials have told investors that the sooner the matter is closed, the sooner the company can expect a rebound in advertising at its magazines, including Martha Stewart Living.
Even if Stewart wins an appeal or ultimately clears her name, analysts say the damage has already been done to the brand that was built on her reputation as a perfect homemaker and stamped on a wide array of products from magazines to pots and pans.
According to Brand Keys' consumer loyalty index, the brand has dropped from a high of 122 before Stewart's legal problems began two years ago, to the low 60s after her conviction.
