Chapter 7: Business Marketing

     The Walt Disney Company is all about satisfying their customers with consumer products, whether they are individual consumers or big corporations. Disney frequently engages in business marketing and is very open about this, they even have their own Business to Business page on their website indicating ways on how an organization can "do business" with them as well. This page is made up of six categories, these categories include: Advertise With Us; Travel Agents Only; Disney Studio Operations; Disney Meetings & Conventions; Disney Insititute; and Supplier Information.     The company's business customers are mainly re-sellers such as Toys R Us and Party City, who sell Disney's wholesale items. Toys R Us sells Disney branded toys from their various product lines such as "Disney Princesses" and "Disney Fairies", as does Party City with party decorations imprinted with Disney characters on them such as balloons, plates, cups, piñatas, party favors, and so on. These are just a few of the many re-sellers who have become Disney's regular business customers.Although Disney participates in business-to-business commerce, the company is often credited for their relationship marketing skills. Disney is really big on building long-term relationships with customers, both consumers and businesses. They show this by forming many strategic alliances. Disney's studio entertainment division's alliances are the Prospect Studios, the Golden Oak Ranch, and KABC7's Studio B. These studios provide the setting for most of Disney's productions, including films, tv shows, and even their commercials. Disney used to have so many alliances, until the company decided to buy out almost all of them. For instance, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Pixar were the company's top three partners who were always involved in the latest Disney films but Disney depended on them so much that they decided to buy them all out instead. Thereby, turning these companies from well trusted partners to Disney property.      In addition, Disney is also starting to partake in business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce in order to advance their internet marketing. So far they have done a great job by forming a joint venture with Hulu, one of the top streaming websites to surf the web. Disney has progressed so much in the e-commerce field that the company's ABC Television Group division currently owns 27% of Hulu. As you can see, Disney continues to be in its prime and will continue to successfully achieve its goals and sell to its individual consumers and to its business customers as well. I am sure that Walt Disney himself would be so proud of what his company has become today.

Chapter 8: Segmenting & Targeting Markets

“There are three kinds of companies: those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and the rest who wonder what happened.” - Anonymous     Now it is obvious which kind the Walt Disney Company is, this is due to their market segmentation. Market segmentation helps marketers define customer needs and wants more precisely. Disney uses geographic, demographic, and psychographic segmentation to locate their target market. Geographic segmentation refers to a region of a country or the world, market size, market density, or climate; this is used for the location of Disney's theme parks such as Disneyland and Disney World which are strategically located in the world's most visited places: Europe, Japan, India, and of course the United States. Demographic segmentation refers to age, gender, income, ethnic background, and family life cycle; this is used to help determine where to place their chain stores called the Disney Store, where to distribute their movies, and even determines what kind of movie they should create next. Psychographic segmentation is based on personality, motives, lifestyles and geodemographics; this is also used to help Disney determine who is going to buy more of their products.      Disney mainly targets children and their families, it uses the multisegment targeting strategy which is when a firm chooses to serve two or more well-defined market segments. Disney intrigues people of all ages; whether it is a child, teen, or parent. For small children, it has its animation films, toys and other goods from their consumer products division, a segment on their channel called "Playhouse Disney," and many more. For older kids such as tweens and teens, it has the Disney Channel, Radio Disney, their live-action films, and much more. Disney's live-action films such as Pirates of the Caribbean attracts adults as well, in order to target adults Disney uses a "family approach." Disney theme parks were built for the whole family to enjoy and they do a fine job stressing that. If you pay close attention to their advertisements you will see that they are not always aimed for children, in fact they are aimed at the parents most of the time with little phrases such as "Let the Memories Begin" and "This is Where the Magic Happens." Even the animation films are made to please the parents, with their good morals and some jokes that are meant for the child not to understand. In addition, the Disney Store has its own Home Decor department which is intended to satisfy the parents' wants as well as their children's, while the child is browsing through the toys, the parent is browsing through the Home Decor section.     As you can see Disney does not have one specific target market, it focuses on each member of the family. It mainly targets average income families, who live in urban areas. Almost all of the Disney Stores are located in large super-centers and malls; their theme park in the United States is located in Orlando, Florida; and their films as well as consumer products are conveniently priced for the average person. Walt Disney himself said it all when he stated:

"Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." - Walt Disney

Chapter 11: Developing & Managing Products

Walt Disney Company is known as the most prestigious family brand in the world. The company has been around since the 1920s, and it has proven to be one of the top innovative firms. Due to its long and enduring history, Disney has basically done it all: from animation, to theme parks, to consumer products, to having their own network - you name it and I can assure you that the Walt Disney Company has done it. Since Disney is such a large conglomerate, I will only be focusing on its animation line.     The Walt Disney Studios' profits mainly come from additions to existing product lines. In other words, their profits come from new products that supplement the firm's established line. The new products being new movies and the established line being the animation line. On Movies | Disney.Go you can clearly see what I am talking about, the site consists of a "Coming Soon To Theaters" section and a "Coming Soon On Blu-Ray & DVD" section as well. Some of the new and upcoming theatrical releases are The Muppets, The Beauty and the Beast 3D, and The Secret World of Arrietty.

Disney's Consumer Products division also affects the animation line's profits. The DCP goes hand in hand with the Walt Disney Studios division because as soon as a new movie is created, the DCP creates consumer products based on these new characters. These products are usually clothing, play sets, plush toys, dolls, action figures, and costumes which can all be found in the Disney Store. This is considered adding new products to a product line extension.      In regards to the animation aspect of the Walt Disney Company, adding new products to existing product lines is the only innovation they do. They may not always have "new-to-the-world" products, but they always put their creativity to the test and make sure they develop new products whether they are for a new product line, or simply an addition to an existing one. As their mission statement clearly states "Creativity + Innovation = Profits."

Chapter 16: Integrated Marketing Communications

     Every single corporation must promote their product or service efficiently in order to capitalize themselves. In order to do so, the company must use the "promotional mix" which is a combination of advertising, public relations, sales promotion, and personal selling. After all of that promotion, the company's foremost and primary goal is to have as many consumers possible. What helps reach this goal is the AIDA concept, which stands for the stages of consumer involvement with a promotional message. These stages being: attention, interest, desire, and actions.     Now, the Walt Disney Company has no trouble grabbing the consumers attention due to their vigorous brand name, and excessive advertising through traditional media such as television; radio; newspapers; magazines; billboards; transit cards; and of course we couldn't forget - the internet.   Although Disney attracts plenty of consumers, this simple awareness isn't enough to make a sale, they must create an interest in the product. Through various public relations, Disney captures many of its consumers interests. These relations range from environmental issues, to public health and safety issues, to even educational issues. They are currently running two educational campaigns called the "Disney's Leadership Experience: The Inside Track" and "Disney Dreamers and Doers Program."     Now that company has captured the consumer's attention and interest, Disney must entice a desire for the product. For Disney's animation films, desire is mostly brought upon by the emotion the movie trailer gives off. This "emotion" depends on what genre the movie is, and makes the consumer feel as if they "have" to watch the film. For instance, Disney's live-action films give off an exciting, want-to-know-what-happens-next kind of feeling. Animation films on the other hand, give off a heart-warming, family enriched sort of feeling. These feelings encourage the consumer's desire to purchase tickets for the film.   In regards to action, the Walt Disney Company uses "mass communication" which involves communicating a concept or message to large audiences. Studies have shown that consumers usually buy products if they hear or read positive reviews on the product by other consumers as opposed to the actual company. Disney has taken note of this and on it's website it has a section specifically designed for new movie releases, and feedback on these new releases - this section is called Movies | New & Classic Disney Films. Not only does Disney incorporate personal feedback through it's website, but it also has a Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter page. Indeed, the Walt Disney Company has completely convinced many consumers to take action. According to the Letter to Shareholders in The Walt Disney Company's Annual Report 2010, the "Net income attributable to Disney for the year increased 20 percent to $3.96 billion on a 5 percent rise in revenue to $38 billion. Diluted earnings per share for the year increased 15 percent to $2.03 from $1.76." The company has definitely used the AIDA concept wisely in 2010.

Chapter 10- Product Concepts

    Walt Disney is such a large assorted company that they had to set up their own division for their consumer products. Disney Consumer Products (DCP) is a division of the company that engages in merchandising of the Disney brand and Disney properties, includig Disney movies and The Disney television shows.   Disney movies and other products that affiliated with the animation department can be considered specialty products due to the company's exclusive image. Affiliated products are the Disney branded merchandise that is inspired by characters from Disney's beloved animated films ranging from apparel, toy, home decor, books, and magazines.

The DCP division has also introduced product lines inspired by Toy Story 3, The Princess and the Frog, The Prince of Pesia: The Sands of Time, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Tangled, Cars, Captain America, Bolt and Tron. All of these factor in to the company's product mix width. Walt Disney also participates in repositioning which involve changing consumers' perceptions of a brand. The most recent example of this is when Disney brought back 1951 family friendly animation Alice in Wonderland and repositioned it by teaming up with Tim Burton in 2010 transforming the film to a "dark and liely action adventure." The new look targeted 12 to 22 year old's in addition with their merchandise being sold in Hot Topic, a gothic retain store has been developed through sales of licensed Disney Princess merchandise and the newly launched Disney Fairies franchise.

The Disney Princess products have boosted from $300 million since its 2000 launch at the Disney Stores to above the $4 billion mark with being available worldwide. The Disney Fairies have also taken flight and is on track to become a powerful lifestyle brand for 6 to 8 year old girls. The Walt Disney company is a family brand because of it's history and success it has proudly achieved brand loyalty. CHildren who praise Disney and beg their parents to see these heartwarmming films along with purchasing other affiliated products are being gladly rewarded because their parents were once in their child's shoes. Due to parent's positive memories towards Disney, they let their child experiance the jo as well, resulting in Walt Disney's success in being one of the world's largest assorted like it is today.

Chapter 18- Sales Promotion & Personal Selling

Walt Disney greatest targets market is young children, but their consumers are the parents, therefore they have to keep up with the generation of kids and their parents.
Disney has constantly come up with innovative ways to intrigue the target market while using consumer sales promotion to intrigue the parents as well. Disney use numerous tools for consumer sales promotion, the company is very big on loyalty marketing programs. Disney used to mail out their catalogs to their loyal customers filled with new products, coupons, and rebates. when making a purchase the customer will simply place a telephone order, but during April 2006, Walt Disney decided to stop catalog circulation and instead geared its focus on online sales promotion in order to keep up with the new generation of children and parents. You can find all of Disney's sales promotions on their Disney store website. Throughout their website you can find special offers, such as, this week most successful offer is "Saving 25% in Disneyland Resort" which can be bought online. Most of the special offers usually consist of like a "3 day park for $199". There are also other offers such as free shipping when spending acertain amount of money on products. Disney is offering Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more which includes a promotional code. Another marketing tool they offer is co-branded bredit cards sponsored by Visa.
They have wide selections of this Disney Rewards Visa Credit Card with different Disney characters imprinted on them, and benefits such as saving 10% on selected merchandise purchases each time the consumer spends $50 or more at Disneystore.com. Disney offers Gift cards that can be used at any Disney Theme Park and Resort Hotel, on Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Stores. Not only does Disney promote their store products, but they also promote their theme parks products. their current promotion on this in Free Shipping with any purchase of Disney Parks Merchandise which also includes a promotional code. Throughout the website you'll find many discount promotional codes for various products. These codes function like coupons but instead of having to print them out. Walt Disney has so many loyal customers that they have created cetain Clubs that they can join. Many young children join D23| The official Disney Fan Club, while many of the actual consumers whom are the parents join the Disney Movie Rewards Club. This club includes a free membership, and its purpose is for member to earn points by purchasing Disney DVDs and Blu- Ray discs, Disney theatrical releases, and eligible Disney CD releases. With these points the club memebers is eligible to win any rewards listed depending on how many points the rewards is worth. Another benefit of being a Disney Movie Rewards Club member is that each member is able to participate in Disney's Sweepstakes.

Currently, Disney has a sweepstakes running to May 2012, called "Disney Power up Sweepstakes" Due to all these consumers sales promotion devices, Walt Disney company does not participate in personal selling. other factors include: most of these products have low values; they are all standardized products; they have many customers; their products are usually easy to understand; and their customers are geographically dispersed. As a result, Walt Disney does not need to engage in personal selling. 

Chapter 17- Advertising & Public Relations

The Walt Disney Company's specialty is in entertainment and animation, the two areas do well in the global market, just because a company has its strengths doesn't mean its going to sell its product without advertising. Advertising is essential, without advertising we wouldn't know about half the products we use.  Disney uses product advertising which is a form of advertisement that praises the benefits of a specific good or service. To advertise a product, a company must first select an advertising appeal which identifies a reason for a person to buy a product. Disney uses the "Fun and Pleasure" appeal to advertise their animated films. The company must choose a style to execute their message. Disney uses the "Mood and Image" executional style for advertising which builds a mood or image around the product such as love, happiness, or inspiration. Like whenever you feel a certain emotion after watching a Disney Trailer, that is the tactics working on the aduience.

After Walt Disney has established how they are going to advertise, they must determine what type of media will best communicate the benefits of their product or service to the target audience and how long the advertisment will run. This is called media planning.


Disney advertises through their own radio station (1560 AM Radio Disney), television, internet, and outdoor media. Of course, each media has its advantages and disadvantages, but Disney has such a powerful brand name and history, they end up having more benefits than losses. Due to this image, Disney can sell almost anything by just putting their famous animated characters on the product. To illustrate the prior point, Disney had teamed up with McDonald's and Mattel toy makers, each time Disney came out with a new film they simply let Mattel make toys out of their "Happy Meal" for kids; which brings Disney more fame and customers. As a result, the child would beg their parents to take him or her to the movie theater to watch the new Disney film the child now knows of, just by eating McDonald's.

Chapter 15- Retailing

Walt Disney retailing aspect composed of strategically chain stores. 210 in North America, 105 in Europe and 50 in Japan. The Disney Store is a specialty store, where you can find Disney consumer products such as toys, clothing, games, DVD's, costumes, books, art & collectibles, home decor, and electronic accessories.

                                                                              

I took the time to visit a local Disney Store myself, its located in Queens, New York at the Queens Center Mall. The lightings was very illuminating, giving off a very exciting and youthful feeling in the store. There's a big screen in the center of the store, which is the theater area and you can control what plays. The control pad has only certain options of video and music for you to play which are Disney animated movie trailers and Disney Radio music.

The store is split up into many different sections to attract both boys and girls. For the girls, there's a Disney Princess section which is broken up into smaller sections of each princess which consists of costumes, shoes, dolls, accessories, and toys. For the boys, there's Cars section which composed of toys based on the main characters of the movie, video games, and clothing. there is also a Pirates of the Caribbean section for the boys, it includes costumes; toys such as plastic swords, pirate ships, action figures, etc; and video games, along with board game as well.

Another section, is filled with plush toys based on almost every Disney animated character ever created. From the original characters: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy to major and minor characters from the animated movies. There is also a section that's more likely for adults, it consists of item used for home decor: such as bedding, towels, throw blankets, photo frames, etc; books; DVDs; electronic accessories: such as clocks and wrist watches, iPod, Ipad, and mobile phone covers; and art & collectible items such as mugs, figurines and portraits. The customer service was very friendly, as i browsed throughout the entire store the employees asked if we needed any help. One particular employee had a brief conversation with me about my favorite Disney character and then recommended me with which toy would satisfy me the most. To test out how "friendly" they really are, i purposely kept denying every recommendation and stated that i was "just browsed." I was hoping to aggravate the employee in order to see her fail to stay calm and friendly, instead she surprised me with a good sense of humor and ultimate patience. In the end i left empty handed because i was just browsing as a marketer and not a consumer.

My overall experience at the Disney Store was very fun and i had a blast. i was impressed with the setup of the store and how each section was with something all age can enjoy. Customer service was amazing, they interact with you and can work with you all the way until your satisfied. i can see now why children would like to go there often not only for the purposes but for the entertainment as well.

Chapter 6- Consumer Decision Making

Everyone follows the "Consumer Making Process", it may not be noticable but it is still followed. Using the Movie "The Lion King 3D," and "Dolphin tale" i can explain how Disney consumer use the Consumer Decision- making process.

      The first stage in this process is the need recognition which is always a desired need when it comes to Disney products. This desire can be triggered by external because of immense advertising or positive reviews.

The second stage is information search which in this case it's internal becuase of all the good memories consumers have of the film of the original "The Lion King." the information source is non-marketing controlled by personal experiances. Disney consumers are the parents and not the children who want to watch the films. therefore, the parents end up considering watching these films because Disney never let them down when they were a child.

Stage three is evaluation of of alternatives which helps the consumer ultimately make their decision in whether they are going to buy the product or not. As of today, Warner Bros. is Walt Disney’s main competitor; in this scenario, a constant comparison is formulated with Disney’s “Lion King 3d” to Warner’s “Dolphin Tale”.

the fourth stage is purchasing. Most of Disney's films are unplanned purchases due to the consumer not knowing about the upcoming film until seeing a preview or an ad. in conclusion, the consumer buys on impulse.

the final stage is the process which is the postpurchase behavior which is the certain outcome which consumers expect from their purchases. According to the Box Office on Sept of 2011, The Lion King 3D scored the for the second week in a row with $22.1 million coming in first place, followed in second is Moneyball with $20.6 million, and Dolphin Tale for $20.3 million. the upcoming four movies releases were no match for the Disney classic and becuase of this success Disney is planning on extending the two weeks release to be long then expected. it is clear that Disney consumers are more than satisfied with the film and there expectation went beyond what has been imagined.

Chapter 5 Part 2- Global Marketing (Culture)

Language is another important aspect of culture that can be a problem for marketers. Marketers uses languages to take care of products names, slogans, instructions, and give out a promotional message to convey their meaning. Disney is an international company that covers culture.


For Example: Japans' animated idol character; Hello Kitty, was made into a similar versions of all the Disney movies. Like Hello Kitty clothes is not torn and more animals are added. From Snow white to Cinderella. With a Hello Kitty version of the classical Disney movies, with language involved, translating in a complicated manner from English to Japanese seems to be a breeze. (Request if you want the translation for the Hello Kitty Cinderella video). Almost all Disney movies are now an alternate version turned into Hello Kitty.

       



Unlike the Russian version, Cinderella is made differently. Like, the clothes is not as raggy and the characters figures are akward. The footage is made to seem very old as well.

Chapter 5- Developing A Global Vision

Walt Disney has often expanded their global market. From their films, parks and resorts, consumer products, and media networks they have been recognized internationally. Walt Disney Company's focus has been on establishing the foundations for long term growth in markets of Latin America, Russia, India, and China.

     A new focus has been brought first to Japan and to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, where businesses are developed and can grow better to serve their customers.

Theme parks such as Tokyo, Japan, Paris, France, and Hong Kong, China, each has certain cultural attributes, but the parks share the similar feel. Disney attempts to keep each culture and keep the same feel consistent between all parks. Walt Disney Company is expanding their California Adventure Park. It will consists of new Cars Land, light and water shows, new entrance in the 20s theme, and boardwalk rides.

              Disney markets their films and digital content internationally. Through strategic planning and partnership with Disney ABC International Television for the distribution of Disney branded of kids' programming across the globe, Disney Channels Worldwide reachs more than 600 million viewers in over 100 countries in the US, Europe, Middle East, Asian Pacific, Latin America, and South America. Disney Channel properties still continues to rapidly expand into new markets across the world, playing a key role in introducing the disney brand to new consumers.

Chapter 4 - The Marketing Environment

          Disney's target may appear to be just for children, but their main focus is on the whole family. Disney's market varies from children, tweens, teenagers and even adults. Walt Disney once said "Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up."

Walt Disney company has attracted young girls with their Princesses. For a few years, Disney is expanding their market by targeting girls even when they are still babies. Disney will be making products such as cribs and infant models representing the Disney Princesses such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, etc.

Chapter 3 - Ethics & Social Responsibility

The Walt Disney Company has become socially responsible that it has expanded to Green Marketing. Green Marketing is the development and marketing of products designed to minimize negative effects on the physical environment or to improve the environment. They have pages on their website that deals with "going green" from giving children and adults helpful tips on how to help the environment, to exciting projects that are competitve and rewarding. Disney has gotten celebraties such as; Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), the Jonas Brothers, and other popular brunettes, Selena and Demi in Friends for a Change: Project Green. Friends for a Change: Project Green is an innovative multi-platform on Disney Channel, Radio Disney, and Disney.com that invites young people to join together to help the planet.

 Get Involved in Conservation is one of their ways of "Going Green". Get involved in conservation is protecting the planet and conserving nature makes everyone to get involved. To join with Disney to make a difference.

                Disney Planet Challenge is a project based learning competition designed for 4th to 6th grade classrooms enabling teachers to engage and empower their students in environmental stewardship.

Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund is supporting the important work of both local and global nonprofit organizations to positively impact wildlife, ecosystems and the communities so closely linked to their survival.

                        Recycle Plastic Bags is Disney's eco friendly shopping bag program designed to reduce plastic bag waste.

The Green Standard is aimed at reducing the company's operational impact on the environment, the green standard asks that every cast member and employee make simple environmentally minded changes in four key areas: work space, meetings and events, travel and dining.

Chapter 2 - Strategic Planning for Competitive Advantage

Disney imagining makes the "Magic" for The Walt Disney Company, upholding for their strategic planning as well as for there marketing planning. Disney's motion and animated pictures are taken cared of by names such as TouchStone, Pixar, Buena Vista and Miramax. As stated, the goal of the Disney Imagineering section is to continuously design and implement new, fun, and exciting products for the Disney Company that will attract and excite people. By that, Disney uses its service to its competitive advantage.

Disney has one of the most recognized and powerful brand names in the entertainment industry. Disney developed a strong brand name and image over many years. Because of that, the selling of the movies was never a problem. Most likely because of their advertising, but the Disney name has so much history that it has given them an advantage of the feeling and familiarity when it comes to selling their products.

Walt Disney covers all four aspects of Ps. (Product, Place, Promotion, and Pricing). The Walt Disney Company is very good at Product and Placing. Since their brand name has the ability to sell the products easily, when theatrical productions are to be released, all products lines are based off on the movie and sold in stores throughout the US. All stores are mainly visible to the public eye.

Walt Disney promotes their films in almost every way possible from McDonald's toys to Billboards and posters all over buses and trains. Disney spends a lot of money on advertising. Movies ads are displayed on various sites such as Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. As for pricing, new DvD releases are very cheap only to the fact that Disney is a family company that wants to be able to attract families of median incomes.

       Walt Disney Companys' goal other than profit is "To make people happy". Their ability to make children and parents feel full of joy after one animated movie is what makes Disney successful. Disney always advertises with words like "Love," "Magic," and "Happiness" because thats what the films are mainly about. It's their unique ability to capture the audiences hearts connecting them with the animation, separating them from other companies in the film industry.

Chapter 1 - Brief History of Disney

          Disney is the most famous name in the animation industry. It is known for providing entertainment directed to adults and children alike. With international theme parks, a world-class animation studio and business franchise, Disney dominates the industry. Names such as Mickey Mouse began with Disney, and that has now branched out into several entertainment studios, theme parks, products, and other media productions.

                    Walter Elias Disney has a heart of creativity, will, and strength to uphold all of the company's success. In 1923, he made his first short film called Alice's Wonderland, in California. With all hopes and determination, he decided to sell the series of Alice Comedies to a distributor. With his dreams come true, a distributor from New York, M. J. Winkler, was contracted to delivered the Alice Comedies to the world. From this year, it was a start to The Walt Disney Company.




                 For four years, he pushed the Alice Comedies to become a success and a year afterwards Disney decided to move on to another series of cartoon characters named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Within that year, Disney made over 2 dozen batch of Oswald cartoons. However with low on money, Disney decided to look for his distributor for some additional money. he later found out that Wrinkler had went behind his back to sign up with almost all his animators in his own studio to make less money without Disney. Since his Distributor owned all the rights to Disneys' Oswald works, there was nothing Disney can do. Disney had learn a very painful lesson and from then on, he sought all the works that he made, he owned.

           The following year, he came up with another new character. A mouse who he wanted to named Mortimer, but his wife Lilly, disagree and wanted to name it Mickey. Soon later a star is born. The Mickey Mouse cartoon was released in 1928. Mickey Mouse has been a sensation around the world.

Using brands to differentiate the content, services and consumer products. Disney seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world.
