Frozen 2 & The Potential Of An Online Marketing Company

By Katie Arden


Disney has hit something of a goldmine when "Frozen" was released. It reached some of the highest levels of commercial success for the company in question, ranging from DVD purchases to overall merchandise. As a result of all of this success, mainstream or otherwise, it was only a matter of time until Disney announced a sequel. It has to be advertised well, though, and I believe that this is where an online marketing company may come into play.

Set to be released in 2018, according to a number of recent articles, "Frozen 2" will pick up where the events of the first movie left off. Those who have watched the original may wonder how a story like this could continue. After all, all of the major plot points in the story were tied up relatively well, making the concept of a sequel that much more interesting. Despite discussions of potential storylines and the like, I think that marketing must be covered in detail.

If you want to talk about the reasons why "Frozen" has seen success, attention should be brought to the marketing done by Disney. Even though "Frozen" has been out for over a year now, you can still go to a toy store, for example, and find various dolls and action figures related to the brand. It's understandable that the brand makes money, so manufacturing doesn't exactly see a conclusion. More than anything else, this has contributed to the overall success of "Frozen," as a household name.

According to firms like fishbat, social media has become something of a window to the world. More than anything else, it is able to help us interact with individuals and companies alike, which has its advantages from a marketing standpoint. Disney may be able to craft several posts on Facebook, for example, but to do so while addressing a specific audience is another story. Optimal times for posting would be just one focus for any online marketing company to cover.

The question must be asked: can "Frozen 2" reach a high level of success? While it remains to be seen if it'll trump the first movie, in terms of sales and overall quality, I have to believe that it'll gain tremendous traction based on the name alone. "Frozen" has become something of a cash cow for Disney, so why shouldn't the sequel make money as well? Provided it is made well, which shouldn't be a problem, I'm sure that "Frozen 2's" enjoyment will be matched by its advertising push.
