Marketing Plan: Phase I
Overview of the Organization
The entertainment industry is a vastly changing business, although the ideology has stayed the same throughout history. Since the earliest documented cases started appearing, stories and music were used to overcome and surpass dark times in cultures throughout the world. In more recent historical examples, during the great depression, the largest break through for the entertainment industry began to show by way of movies, musicals, radio and early television. Movies really began to dawn as a way to escape the realities of everyday life and live vicariously in a world of wonder and enchantment, or love and drama, for those who had more serious worries in the real world. With the progression of technology, movies have become a literal escape, with millions of followers across the globe.
The movie industry has made such dramatic leaps in technology that the demand for movies and theaters has grown largely over the past 20 years. At Regal Cinemas, being one of the largest franchises across the globe, business has been remarkable.
