Apple Dethrones Coca-Cola as Most Valuable Brand

Hello, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy for Once a Day Marketing™. Today is Recon Thursday and we looking at Apple’s rapid rise to become the most valuable brand in the world.

According to the Interbrand Best Global Brands survey, Apple is now the world’s most valuable brand. Coca-Cola, which maintained the No. 1 ranking for 13 consecutive years, fell to No. 3. Google, which was 4th in 2012, is now No. 2. Rounding out the top spots are Microsoft and IBM at 4 and 5.

It’s important to understand that every brand has value. The more readily a brand is recognized in the market by customers and potential customers, the higher its strength and status. When a brand is also known for providing a unique and compelling product or service that the market craves, valuation soars. Based on this ranking, Apple, Google, Coke, Microsoft and IBM are really delivering on their brand promises.
