George Eastman


Accordingly, whose advertising slogan was you push the button we do the rest?

'You press the button, we do the rest' This is the advertising slogan by George Eastman the founder of Kodak back in 1888.

Likewise, does Kodak still exist? Kodak came out of the bankruptcy and still exists today, but now they deal with other technologies (even blockchain). Their revenues are much smaller and they still struggle. But as Company Man says, maybe we can just watch them as a giant who revolutionized the photography industry and led it for 10 years.

Additionally, in what year did George Eastman introduce his first popular Kodak camera which he marked with the slogan you press the button we do the rest?

1888
