The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Kodak was founded in 1888 by George Eastman in Rochester, New York. They made cameras and film for ordinary people. Eastman gave the company a name that was easy to say in any language. The Brownie camera, introduced in 1900, changed everything. It was simple. It was cheap. It put photography in children's hands. Kodak owned the film market for decades. They invented the first digital camera in 1975, though they did not see what was coming. Today Kodak is smaller, present in 6649 tracked brands, ranking at number 25 in Baby, Kids & Toys. They still make cameras and film. They still matter to those who remember what light on paper means.
