Last week, brandchannel reported that Kodak was relying on defending its patents to secure a cloudy future. Well, that was last week. This week Kodak is launching a new campaign designed to reinvigorate its brand, redefining the archetypal "Kodak moment," a phrase first used in 1961 that was meant to represent a special slice of life worth capturing on Kodak film.
Only this time, the campaign suggests, "The real Kodak moment happens when you share. " Jeffrey W. The real issue for Kodak, of course, is that the company holds an albatross squarely around its neck: the legacy of traditional film. There is some good news, though.

Kodak. Eastman Kodak Company (EK) Company Overview Eastman Kodak is best known for its products and services related to imaging products. Kodak offers cameras and printing services for both digital and "traditional" films. Kodak's business can be broken down into three segments: Trends and Forces Decline of Traditional Film Kodak is most known for its iconic disposable cameras, but traditional film sales have been consistently declining due to the increasing popularity of digital imaging technologies. The significant decrease in traditional film sales has caused Kodak's management to refocus the companies efforts on the digital imaging market. Kodak now develops and markets digital cameras and printers, operates photo kiosks, and provides online photo sharing and photo merchandise.
Digital Cameras The digital camera could be considered Kodak's most notable innovation.

A brand is the tip of an iceberg. How big and how deep the iceberg is will determine how powerful the brand is. The iceberg is the category. If it melts, the brand will melt too. Take Kodak, for example. Just eight years ago, Interbrand ranked Kodak as the 16th most valuable brand in the world, worth $14.8 billion. Every year since, the Kodak brand has fallen in both rank and value. What’s a Kodak? Years ago I was discussing the situation with a Kodak marketing manager. Not so, the marketing manager replied. Trust Kodak for film photography. Sense doesn’t matter in marketing. As a matter of fact, all the digital camera products (Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Casio, Samsung, Panasonic, etc.) are line extensions from other icebergs.

The Eastman Kodak Company has been devastated by its brand-oriented approach. It shouldn’t. All for naught. Kodak. Eastman Kodak and the idea of loyalty « Phil Ebersole's Blog.
I don’t know if there was ever was a Fortune 500 company more paternalistic than Eastman Kodak Co., and I am certain there never was one that enjoyed greater loyalty from its employees. When I first came to Rochester, N.Y., in the mid-1970s, Kodak seemed more like a cult than a company. Kodak never asked its employees to sing a company anthem or do gymnastics in the morning, as Japanese companies of that era did, but if it had, I am sure they would have been glad to do so.Kodak was one of the last examples of the age of the “organization man,” in which security was given in return for conformity.
I wouldn’t really want that era to return, but I don’t regard the age of the disposable employee as an improvement.People in Rochester said that once you were hired by Kodak, you were set for life. There were people who were the second or third generation in their family to have worked all their adult lives at Kodak. There were people whose whole lives revolved around Kodak.

If so, you had better buy your film cartridges this year because you won't be able to next year.
Polaroid just announced they are getting out of film and entirely into digital photography and printing. Too little too late when compared to Kodak which has the transition now firmly in its past. Kodak has been the world's undisputed king of photography for over a century. It got out of much of its traditional film and papers business in virtually a flash, ahead of Polaroid which is teetering on the brink of oblivion. So how did this 125 year old lumbering Fortune 500 giant successfully make such a dramatic transition into its current digital reality where it now commands a leading position in graphic communication?
