Speaking to Marketing Week editor Russell Parsons at Marketing Week Live, Ellwood said that understanding Disney’s audience is “not an overnight thing” and that the company is working with researchers across the whole of Europe. He said the key to a proactive insight strategy is to set a strategy based on “unique audience segments”.
