play00:00

when i think of disney the first thing

play00:01

that comes to mind is fun excitement

play00:04

family-friendly entertainment and maybe

play00:06

even a little bit of magic oh yeah and

play00:08

people lots and lots of people but the

play00:10

one thing that never really occurs to me

play00:12

is just how close disney came to

play00:14

complete and utter failure and how they

play00:16

were able to turn it all around and save

play00:18

themselves thanks to a clever and also

play00:20

incredibly unlikely marketing and

play00:22

branding campaign and that's what this

play00:24

episode is all about so let me tell you

play00:26

a story behind one of the most powerful

play00:28

and profitable marketing campaigns that

play00:30

disney has ever had as well as five

play00:32

important lessons that you can take away

play00:34

from it and immediately apply to your

play00:36

own business or idea or message i'm also

play00:38

going to explain why i'm wearing this

play00:40

watch and maybe more interestingly how

play00:43

you can win this watch nope not an exact

play00:46

copy of this watch but this exact watch

play00:48

that i'm wearing right now right here in

play00:50

this video alright let's get started but

play00:52

to help me tell this story we first need

play00:54

to go back way back to 1920 where walt

play00:57

disney himself first began his animation

play00:59

career with the kansas city film ad

play01:01

company in missouri now even though this

play01:04

is where walt got his start it was a

play01:05

couple years later in 1922 when he

play01:07

joined forces with his friend of iwerks

play01:10

possibly the world's most interesting

play01:11

name and they created a company called

play01:13

lafagram films and started to produce a

play01:15

series of different cartoons around

play01:17

different stories and fairy tales it was

play01:19

a year later though in 1923 that disney

play01:22

first produced alice in cartoon land

play01:24

this was a combination of both animation

play01:26

and live action and was originally

play01:28

intended to be a pilot in a whole series

play01:30

of future alice cartoons but this is

play01:32

where things start to fall apart within

play01:34

only a few weeks of its completion

play01:36

disney filed for bankruptcy packed up

play01:38

all this stuff left kansas city and

play01:40

along with his brother roy moved to

play01:42

california to try to make it as a

play01:43

cinematographer alice in cartoon land

play01:45

however actually turned out to be a

play01:47

pretty big hit and as more and more

play01:49

orders four more alice cartoons from

play01:51

different distributors started to roll

play01:53

in well it sort of compelled disney to

play01:54

re-open his shop in california with his

play01:57

brother roy soon after that the rest of

play01:59

his team moved from kansas city to

play02:01

california and they spent the next four

play02:02

years working on these alice films then

play02:05

four years later in 1927 disney made the

play02:08

strategic move towards an all-cartoon

play02:10

series and created the character oswald

play02:13

the lucky rabbit and within a year

play02:15

disney had made 26 of the oswald

play02:17

cartoons but oswald wasn't so lucky or

play02:20

in this case disney wasn't so lucky

play02:21

because another problem then presented

play02:23

itself a problem however that would

play02:25

eventually lead to disney's greatest

play02:27

success here's what happened walt who

play02:29

was looking to secure another round of

play02:30

funding in order to produce another year

play02:32

of oswald the lucky rabbit cartoons well

play02:34

he went to his distributor and realized

play02:36

some pretty unfortunate news you see

play02:38

walt's distributor had gone behind his

play02:40

back and hired most of his animators out

play02:42

from under him but to make things worse

play02:44

upon re-reading his contract disney

play02:46

realized that he didn't even own the

play02:48

rights to oswald the lucky rabbit and so

play02:51

there was pretty much nothing he could

play02:52

do nothing that is except create a newer

play02:55

better and more appealing version of

play02:56

oswald and so in 1928 with the release

play03:00

of the animated film steamboat willy the

play03:02

world was introduced to mickey mouse one

play03:04

of if not the most iconic and

play03:06

recognizable cartoon characters in all

play03:08

of history now clearly the creation of

play03:10

an iconic mascot and brand ambassador

play03:13

like mickey mouse to represent your

play03:14

business is a stroke of genius but the

play03:16

real business and marketing and branding

play03:18

success took place a few years later

play03:20

during one of the darkest times in

play03:22

economic history and with an unlikely

play03:24

product that even walt disney himself

play03:26

didn't think was going to sell the year

play03:28

was 1932 and the now 10 year old disney

play03:31

company was struggling it was the great

play03:32

depression and people were out of work

play03:34

and out of money and well greatly

play03:36

depressed

play03:38

yeah it's a terrible joke i know it was

play03:40

at this point that walt disney hired a

play03:42

fellow by the name of hermann k cayman

play03:44

to act as his licensing agent kay's job

play03:46

was to start hiring out mickey to hawk

play03:48

different products and this is the first

play03:50

lesson from this story appreciate it's

play03:52

totally cliched but the reality is if

play03:55

you want to succeed you really do need

play03:56

to think outside the box in this case

play03:58

looking for other ways to capitalize on

play04:00

the mickey mouse brand in the book

play04:02

mickey mouse reader it describes how

play04:04

when walt was first presented with the

play04:05

idea to put mickey mouse on a watch well

play04:08

his response was that it'll never sell

play04:10

fortunately he was wrong as the book

play04:12

goes on to say the watch now outsells

play04:15

its nearest children's competitor watch

play04:17

ten to one and this is lesson number two

play04:19

that you need to think twice before you

play04:21

take advice most people are simply going

play04:23

to say it'll never work that is until it

play04:26

does in this case even though walt

play04:28

himself didn't think the idea was going

play04:30

to work he trusted k enough to go

play04:31

through with the idea and it's a really

play04:33

good thing he did because it wasn't just

play04:35

children's watches that were selling

play04:36

with mickey mouse on them as even a

play04:38

number of very prominent and very

play04:40

influential leaders and celebrities in

play04:42

the space started to wear the mickey

play04:43

mouse watch people like grace kelly

play04:45

sammy davis jr john lennon andy warhol

play04:48

johnny carson and even buzz aldrin the

play04:50

famous astronaut who followed neil

play04:52

armstrong onto the moon on that fateful

play04:53

day july 20th 1969. and this leads me to

play04:56

lesson number three which is that

play04:58

influencer marketing has been around for

play04:59

a very long time long before the term

play05:02

influencer even existed this is because

play05:04

the boosts in authority and credibility

play05:07

and leveraging other people's platforms

play05:09

has always been a very effective

play05:10

marketing strategy and so what started

play05:12

on may 22nd 1933 when the patent was

play05:15

first filed for the mickey mouse watch a

play05:17

watch i might add that was originally

play05:19

sold for 2.98 cents and whose pin lever

play05:22

movement was made up of surplus from

play05:23

world war one well that watch became a

play05:25

cultural icon and this is lesson number

play05:28

four the fact that a little bit of fun

play05:30

goes a really long way and the worst

play05:32

thing that you can be in business is

play05:33

boring and it turns out that this

play05:35

inexpensive and fun little watch was

play05:37

exactly what the market wanted and it

play05:39

proved this when during a single

play05:41

promotion at macy's over 11 000 mickey

play05:43

mouse watches were sold in a single day

play05:45

and in only a little over two years they

play05:48

had managed to sell 2.5 million mickey

play05:50

mouse watches and in 1957 the 25

play05:54

millionth mickey mouse watch was

play05:55

presented to walt disney who somewhat

play05:57

interestingly actually wore a rolex and

play05:59

not a mickey mouse watch

play06:01

and this is lesson number five in that

play06:03

establishing a powerful brand can sell

play06:05

pretty much anything so at this point

play06:07

there's two things that you might want

play06:09

to do first if you'd like to enter for

play06:11

your chance to win this exact mickey

play06:13

mouse watch not another one like it but

play06:14
