Whether it’s Mickey Mouse t-shirts, Star Wars Lego sets or plush dolls based on the latest Pixar hit – licensed merchandise is a billion-dollar business and Disney is the undisputed leader. Last year, Disney reported $5.3 billion in revenue from “Consumer Products”, i.e. from licensing its IP to various manufacturers, game developers, retailers etc. and from selling its own branded merchandise. And while that amounts to no more than six percent of the company’s total revenue, the segment accounted for 23 percent of its operating income in 2022, thanks to an impressive operating margin of 53 percent. The licensing business in particular is practically free money for Disney, as it provides the company with a steady stream of income at little to no costs. #consumerproducts #toys #Disney #licensing #MickeyMouse #StarWars

Keep it simple! 💡 My favorite excites and connects the target with the brand without a celebrity, a special effect, or a joke. With the ad "Well Said," Disney+ diverged from other brands by releasing a surprise 30-second ad during the fourth quarter of #superbowl, displaying a list of its popular phrases in black text on a white screen. The brand presented a commercial that features phrases such as "To infinity and beyond," "Ohana means family," and "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi," with Disney+ aiming to showcase the best stories from the worlds of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. One of my favorites. Simple. #superbowl2024 #marketingstrategy #disney #adcampaigns #superbowlads

I absolutely loved this Super Bowl ad from The Walt Disney Company. Sure, it's incredibly simple, which really stands out in a field of crazy graphics and big-named celebrities. But more than that, the ad represents some truly deep thinking regarding what Disney's real value proposition is. In this case, I think it's "storytelling." I talk about this exact process when I teach my MBA students and highlight what a difficult endeavor it can be. I think the work is worth it, though!: If you can determine your own value AND convey it to your core base, it can be a great help in guiding future strategic decisions. https://lnkd.in/gwBuV2vm

One of my team members was taking inventory of her collectibles, and she is starting to wonder if it's time to admit she has a 'slight' obsession with Mickey Ears. But, jokes aside, it's not all fun and games. Disney collectibles can be incredibly valuable, and it's essential to keep a detailed inventory of these magical items. So, if you find yourself in a similar 'ear'-resistible situation, remember, that a good inventory can help you keep track of the enchantment in your collection. The best part is, Pinventory's easy-to-use custom fields can be tailored to inventory all the different types of Disney collectibles. Have a custom collection that needs unique fields?

I help entertainment IPs generate revenue outside of their core revenue streams through creative strategic solutions.
Nostalgia brands inspire connection renewal with consumers. During recessions and depressions, people choose wisely where to spend money, often opting for familiar brands. A trusted brand ensures quality, service, and value. For example, Star Wars, launched in 1977, has regained trust with Disney's acquisition. Disney+ now thrives because of the Star Wars franchise, with viewers retaining subscriptions to access that content. Disney also acquired Marvel to strengthen its presence in the boys' demographic. By acquiring these franchises, Disney reached into demographic tribes and broadened its audience, even attracting those who might not have subscribed to Disney+ otherwise.

I nerd out on Storytelling, Competitive Intel, and Buyer Journeys in B2B | Podcast Host for We’re Not Marketers | I create philanthropic art and call myself a CEO
This is your friendly reminder that pricing and packaging is important Disney + had a pricing strategy that lost them $300 mil in Q4 But this new packaging strategy with Epic Games might become the coolest thing in entertainment In short - they will be creating a Disney Universe together What is it: an Entertainment Universe Who is it for: People who love Disney content Why should they buy it: So they can play games, watch movies, shop for apparel, and engage with all of their favorite characters I'm not a big "category creation" guy but this one is right up my ally All of my favorites like Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Avatar...in a way that doesn't require me to go to Disney World The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games have something special cooking And it goes to show how you can drive a lot of demand before your product is fully baked 👨🍳 What do you think of the upcoming Disney Universe? #productmarketing #packaging

Disney monetizes EVERYHING. . I’m not exaggerating - they have found a way to make money at every possible touch point within their parks. . A perfect example of this are the PINS that Disney sells within their parks. . Disney sells 10s of thousands of collectible pins that can be bought and traded and some hold significant value. . However, the backs that HOLD these pins in place are notoriously cheap - they’re going to break. . So what does Disney do? . Well they certainly don’t make the back of the pins stronger - rather, they sell plastic replacement packs right there in the park to get you to SPEND MORE MONEY. * * * * * #lawyerlife #attorneylife #attorneyatlaw #lawyers #attorneysatlaw #lifeofalawyer #lawyering101 #lawyerlifestyle #lawfirmgrowth #lawyergoals #legalmarketing #legalindustry #lawyermindset #marketing #lawfirmmarketing #lawyertips #lawyersuccess #lawfirmmanagement #lawyerhustle #lawyermarketing #attorneymarketing #marketingforlawyers #disney
