Maybe you remember Kodak's yellow and red film packaging...or other photography-related products.
Kodak is changing its brand associations, and today it describes itself this way: 'Kodak is a technology company focused on imaging'. For consumers, Kodak offers digital cameras, movie cameras, printers and more.
Can the Kodak brand be associated with smartphones? Kodak is aiming for that market. Last year, its brand appeared on a smartphone made by Bullitt. The phone didn't sell well. Now the Kodak brand is about to appear on a new smartphone, to be marketed as having a very good built-in camera. The new phone is called the Ektra.
Everyone takes photos with smartphones and tablets these days, right? Some famous photographers use their iPhones and rely on the quality, and Apple is definitely promoting the photography aspect for social media ease and professional use.
In other words, Apple has successfully associated its branded phones and tablets with high-quality photography.
Can Kodak do the same for its Ektra smartphone?
