Each year, the BrandZ™ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands report is produced by Millward Brown on behalf of WPP.
The 2014 report “shows that the combined brand value of the world’s most important brands has risen by 12percent to $2.9 trillion. This follows a 7 percent improvement the previous year.” According to the report:
“Not surprisingly, technology brands dominate the top positions and there is a new number one. Google has knocked Apple off its perch after three years at the top. Apple is performing well but is it still redefining technology for consumers? What is obvious is that the value of technology brands reiterates how they are now an integral part of our lives.”
“Apparel is the fastest growing category with the Top 10 apparel brands growing by 29 percent, but all brands must continue to innovate and excite consumers to drive their businesses forward, something Google excels at. There is no room for complacency on quality or customer service as a brand’s reputation can be dented in seconds through the power of social media.”
