Danny Gokey signs contract with optical company

MILWAUKEE -- "American Idol" finalist Danny Gokey made his eyewear a signature during the show.

Now the Milwaukee native has signed a two-year marketing agreement with a New Berlin optical company to promote their glasses.

The contract with Wisconsin Vision calls for Gokey to wear up to 60 pairs of the company's glasses, be featured in television and outdoor advertising in Wisconsin and make personal in-store appearances.

Last week, Gokey released his debut country album, appeared on "American Idol" in Wisconsin Vision lenses and performed a concert in Milwaukee. It's his first long-term endorsement deal.

Wisconsin Vision has 21 Wisconsin locations and has six locations in Illinois and Indiana as Heartland Vision.
