Case Study: Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts (EA) is one of the largest and most recognized video game software developers globally (Teeter & Lunsford, 2019). In the present paper, we will discuss some of the
marketing strategies that this company performs in order to its successful.
Part A:
Customer/Consumers:
Electronic Arts (EA) primarily targets gamers as its customer base. The market size for video games is substantial, estimated at 347 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 (Statista, 2024). Customers buy EA's products through different channels, including digital downloads, physical copies, and subscription services like EA Play (Teeter & Lunsford, 2019). Factors influencing their choice among competitors include game quality, graphics, gameplay experience, and brand loyalty. Customer loyalty in the gaming industry can be strong, especially if a company consistently delivers high-quality and engaging games. It is also important to note that EA has a strong fanbase, especially for the sports games that they offer.
Company & Corporate Partners:
EA has established itself since 1982 as a major player in the video game industry. Relevant franchises such as Madden NFL, FIFA, Need for Speed, Star Wars and Battlefield are some of its trademarks to receive recognition from gamers around the world (Teeter & Lunsford,
2019). Strategic partnerships with game developers, hardware manufacturers, and distribution platforms contribute to its success. However, concerns arise regarding the company's reliance on a few major franchises, potentially limiting its market diversification. Partnerships with emerging technologies and platforms are crucial for staying competitive (Teeter & Lunsford, 2019). Competitors:
Competition in the gaming industry is intense, with large players dominating. Industry growth is consistent, driven by technological advancements, expanding demographics, and 2
increasing esports popularity. Direct competitors like Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft, along with indirect competitors such as streaming services (Twitch, YouTube Gaming) and mobile gaming apps, contribute to the competitive landscape. While barriers to entry are high due to the need for significant capital and expertise, new entrants can challenge established companies with innovative ideas (Teeter & Lunsford, 2019).
Segmentation:
The market for video games can be segmented based on demographics, psychographics, and behavioral factors. Demographically, age groups, gender, and geographic locations are significant factors. Psychographic factors include gaming preferences, lifestyle, and values. Behaviorally, segments can be created based on frequency of play, preferred platforms, and game genres (Statista, 2024).
Part B:
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Iconic Franchises
Dependence on Franchises
Strong Financial Backing
Negative Brand Image
Global Presence
Limited Market Diversification
Talent Pool
Development Time Constraints
Opportunities
Threats
Emerging Technologies
Intense Competition
Expansion in Esports
Rapid Technological Changes
Growing Mobile Gaming Market
Shift in Consumer Preferences
Collaboration with New Platforms
Piracy and Intellectual Property Concerns
Part C: Strategic Implications
Strengths & Opportunities
: Leveraging iconic franchises and strong financial backing, EA can invest in emerging technologies and expand into esports. By collaborating with new platforms, the company can capitalize on the growing mobile gaming market, increasing revenue streams.

When Sam Rainer launched Noodle in the USA in spring 2021, it was with a clearly articulated marketing strategy – a hefty first year sales goal of $ 1.7 Million. Nine months after rollout, Rainer’s plan seemed to have worked quite well: His skin care company and product line had already topped the $1 Million mark and showed no signs of slowing.
Formerly of Zirh Skin Nutrition, a male skin care line that was acquired by Shisheido in 2000, Rainer recognized an underserved market segment among young people ages fifteen to twenty-nine, a group he called “Generation Me”. A combination of Generation X and Generation Y, Generation Me had long been ignored by the more recognized skin care companies. Which tended to make products to help older consumers fight such skin ailments as wrinkles and recondition aging skin. No serious conservatively price high-end skin care solutions existed for young skin problems, such as oily skin, combination skin, and acne. That is, until Noodle entered the…
