Google brand tops the charts

Google has knocked Microsoft from its perch as the world's top-ranked brand, according to findings released on Monday.

by Fairfax Digital

The rankings, compiled by market research firm Millward Brown, also put Google ahead of well-established brands like General Electric, No. 2; Coca-Cola, No. 4; Wal-Mart Stores, No. 7; and IBM, No. 9.

Some key factors seen this year in building brand recognition ranged from corporate responsibility to serving customers in emerging markets like Brazil and India, according to the study.

The top-ranked brand from a non-US-based company was China Mobile, which dropped a spot but still came in at No. 5.

The rankings were based on publicly available financial data along with primary research, including interviews with a million consumers worldwide, Millward Brown said.

For Google, which ranked No. 7 a year ago, the jump to the top underscores how quickly the web search leader has become an everyday name. The company uses relatively little advertising, instead relying on word-of-mouth promotion.

By contrast, Microsoft's slide down to third place from first comes even as the software company has been rolling out its new Windows Vista operating system with a massive global marketing blitz.

Eileen Campbell, global chief executive of Millward Brown, said the rankings showed "a blend of good business leadership, responsible financial management and powerful marketing ... can be leveraged to create and grow corporate wealth."

Some of the other big movers on the list included Apple which rose 13 spots to No. 16 and Starbucks, which rose 13 spots to No. 35. Those losing ground in the brand rankings included Intel, Home Depot and Dell. Millward Brown is a unit of WPP Group and the findings were published in cooperation with the Financial Times.

I don't drop many remarks, however I browsed some comments on "Google brand tops the charts". I do have a few questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or does it look like like
some of the comments appear like they are coming from brain dead folks?
:-P And, if you are posting at additional places, I would
like to follow you. Could you post a list of every one of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook
page or twitter feed?

Unquestionably imagine that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest factor to consider of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other folks consider
concerns that they plainly don't know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Cheap Burberry Handbags These furnishings certainly are a good choice.
These forms of Ugg Boots Clearance can be found in 2 colors from a shop at fine sand
too as saying. In addition, if you seem with the labels for your
manufacturing site, you really should bear in mind the labels which
exhibit "Manufactured in China" are authentic, and lots of others are
counterfeits.

If you disregarded the Ugg guidelines and wore your boots in water, otherwise you dropped liquid in your boot, you may have stains along
your boots. If you've got no idea about whether the boots you want are real or otherwise not, it can be advisable not to purchase them. The unique qualities from the sheepskin mean which they will keep your feet warm in even coldest of weather, but if you wear them in summer they is not going to overheat your foot.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near
future but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
