Apple is the world’s top brand according to branding consultancy Interbrand. That’s followed by Google in the number two position, with 10 other tech-industry brands in the top 50.
Facebook is number 29 on the list.
Interbrand has released its “Best Global Brands” list annually since 1998. It measures and ranks brands by value. A variety of criteria enter into the calculus; but specifically, Interbrand considers the following three variables:
An analysis of the financial performance of the branded products or services
The role the brand plays in purchase decisions
The brand’s competitive strength
Here (and above) are the top 20 on the list:
Apple
Google
Coke
IBM
Microsoft
GE
Samsung
Toyota
McDonald’s
Mercedes
BMW
Intel
Disney
Cisco
Amazon
Oracle
HP
Gillette
Louis Vuitton
Honda
While a serious effort and no doubt considerable expense goes into generating such rankings, ultimately they’re self-promotional and should be seen as opinion rather than any sort of definitive ranking of success or potential future success.
