An example of synergy that Disney have used to increase its profits was the development of the game Star Wars Battlefront 3. This game was developed by EA DICE and Criterion Software and distributed by Electronic Arts.  This brought about the increase of profit by disney because they would be receiving revenue from EA using characters from Lucasfilm which are owned by disney.


Marketing: 

The studio went all out to raise awareness for the saga’s latest installment, and the months leading up to the movie’s release was a full blitzkrieg of television spots, trailers, and of course, copious amounts of licensed merchandise – ranging from Hasbro toys to Kraft macaroni and cheese.
