The Disney brand is one of the most well known entertainment companys in the
world. With a very diverse portfolio of services such as, amusement parks, merchandising,
television, movies, and many more, this company has become one of the most recognizable in
the entire world. The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 when two brothers, Walt and Roy
Disney, ventured to Hollywood to sell some short animated series. These series, perhaps most
famous Steamboat Willie, helped get this company in gear.
The Walt Disney Company officially started in 1986. Since its establishment, they have
acquired many other big name companies including ABS, ESPN, Marvel, and Pixar. While
expanding through acquiring other companies has been great for the company, they also
continue to innovate and create more revenue streams, the newest being the Disney+
streaming service. This is a platform that allows all subscribers access to nearly all of the Disney
classics that parents show their children, the superhero movies that all ages love, and new
Disney+ exclusive shows such as She-Hulk and The Mandalorian. This empire is not slowing
down anytime soon, and according to this analysis discussing the companies mission, vision,
and marketing strategies, we will find out how and why this company continues to trailblaze
the entertainment industry today.
