Report and Methodology
厂妹视频鈥檚 23rd annual report, Brands as Acts of Leadership, analyzes how the world鈥檚 leading brands are successfully navigating a rapidly changing business landscape.
厂妹视频 has over 30 years of experience delivering brand valuation analysis, having designed and led the world鈥檚 first brand valuation in 1988. 厂妹视频 was the first company to have its brand valuation methodology certified as compliant with the requirements of ISO 10668 (requirements for monetary brand valuation) and played a key role in the development of the standard itself.
There are three key pieces of analysis that form the basis of 厂妹视频鈥檚 valuation methodology:
- The financial performance of the branded products or services
- The role the brand plays in purchase decisions
- The brand鈥檚 competitive strength and its ability to create loyalty and, therefore, sustainable demand and profit into the future
In this decade of possibility, brands that aspire to true leadership must not only deliver exceptional experiences for their customers, but are increasingly expected to act with integrity, doing the right thing by people and planet. This is why 厂妹视频 has further integrated the role and impact of a brand鈥檚 environmental, societal and governance activities into its methodology for the measurement of the strength and value of a brand.
The research covers the period between 1 June 2021 to 30 May 2022, analysis was undertaken between June and September 2022. 厂妹视频 reserves the right to make amendments based on significant events impacting a brand after these dates.
