      CNBC, 2/9/11
      Disney's stock is trading nearly five percent higher on 2/9/11, on news that the company's strong brands are successfully riding the advertising recovery and return of consumer spending.
    • Bob Iger: Disney is 'under-appreciated'
      Hollywood Reporter, 10/14/10
      Iger cited an Interbrand global study on brand value from last week that ranked Disney ninth. Out of entertainment giants, only MTV in the 55th spot made the top 100, too. Citing the acquisition of Marvel and previously Pixar, as well as the continued strength of ESPN and other brands, Iger argued Disney's brands are stronger than ever.
    • Is Disney’s Chief Having a Cinderella Moment?
      New York Times, 4/10/10
      Deep is not a word that most people used to describe Mr. Iger when he took control of Disney five years ago. In fact, he was widely dismissed as little more than a stuffed suit who might have had the skills to fix a highly dysfunctional company but lacked creative sizzle or big-picture brilliance to raise its game.
    • He Was Promotable, After All
      New York Times, 5/2/09
      Robert A. Iger, C.E.O. of the Walt Disney Company, says he didn’t let a surprising opinion from an early boss get to him.
