Best Global Brand 2021 Report
Welcome to
Best Global
Brands 2021
O
n the surface, the
2021 Best Global
Brands report
suggests that market
dynamics are returning
to a semblance of
normality. In contrast to last year,
the vast majority have recognised
growth, and the average brand
value increase of the Best Global
Brands is 10% in 2021, compared
to 1.3% in 2020. It now seems
that a return to normal is possible,
yet wasn’t normal the problem?
In last year’s Best Global Brands
report, I noted that businesses
that are not serving their citizens
are ultimately managing their own
decline. In this years’ report, we take
this thinking further as Interbrand’s
Global Chief Strategy Officer,
Manfredi Ricca, demonstrates in
compelling detail how the best global
brands must move beyond being
engines of consumption to become
catalysts of possibility (see page 4).
Inspired by the data from this year’s
study, he writes of brands as “Acts
of Leadership.” What this means
is that the most inspiring brands
are extending their leadership role
beyond their direct product category
to confront the biggest challenges
we face. Tesla, the biggest riser in the
Best Global Brands report this year,
is driving us towards a low- carbon
future and is a leader in its category.
The work of PayPal and Salesforce
in addressing issues such as
economic equality and reproductive
rights are further examples of
how the best brands are providing
systemic solutions to systemic
problems. The most inspiring
brands are reshaping themselves
as true platforms of the possible.
However, we must do more. In 2021,
the momentous challenges we all
face become more urgent by the
day. We are at a global inflection
point for economies, societies,
governments, environments, and
people. At the intersection of all
these problems is the climate
crisis – an existential threat that
will disproportionately affect the
most vulnerable populations. If
we settle back into pre-pandemic
trends of unrestricted, unsustainable
growth, the climate crisis will have
unimaginable effects on us all.
This much we know. The radical
question for brands – including
Interbrand – is, what can we do?
Over the past 12 months, my
human truths team has been
working with a community of
500 consumers and citizens
from around the world to
understand their perspective on
climate change. Consumers are
confused, they hear technical
language, are exposed to unclear
messaging, few benefits and
contradictory calls to action.
Their insight is important
and concerning - consumer
confusion leads to inaction.
Just this month, Jeff Beer wrote in
Fast Company Magazine: “When
it comes to the climate crisis,
Americans have been regularly
served ... warnings about rising
temperatures, sea levels, melting
ice caps, and the impending societal
fall-out of it all. And yet it still hasn’t
been enough to convince people
to act like this is a crisis... That
disconnect illustrates a distinct failure
to communicate the severity of the
climate crisis in a way that sparks
the required public response.... We
need a simple, powerful climate crisis
message to mobilize the masses.”
Our human behaviour data suggests
the same: 80% of consumers want to
create change - but they don’t know
how. “We need a simple, powerful
message to mobilize the masses...”
What we know is that no one
company, or brand or government
can do this alone. The world needs
people, organisations and experts
working together, around the globe,
to make a greater difference. To
act together and to create change
on a global scale. And, as Manfredi
notes, nothing is capable of
inspiring behavioural change and
collaboration like great brands.
So, I invite the community of Best
Global Brands to join Interbrand and
the United Nations Development
Program in our own Act of Brand
Leadership. A united and global Iconic
Move to re-brand climate change.
We look forward to working
with you as we move into
this exciting new space.

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
For the first time,
Impressionists were not
representing subjects,
but rather focusing on
human experiences.
Brands
as acts of
leadership
Change in culture rarely happens
in sudden leaps, but there are
exceptions. Every so often, single
dates make everything different.
On April 15th, 1874, a former
photography studio in Boulevard
des Capucines, Paris, premiered
the works of a movement called the
Anonymous Society of Painters,
Sculptors, Printmakers, Etc. The
paintings – on sale during the
show – depicted contemporary
life in a technique that looked
rough and unfinished to both art
critics and the general public.
The exhibition was far from
successful. Beyond incurring a
significant loss, it attracted insulting
criticism and derision. Louis Leroy,
a critic, sought to discredit the
artists by mockingly dubbing
them after one of Claude Monet’s
paintings: “Impression: Sunrise”.
Today, that premiere is remembered
as the first Impressionist exhibition
– and the date marking the
beginning of modern art. In much
of the world, visual art was never
to be quite the same again.
Showing boldness and facing
huge controversy, artists like
Monet, Paul Cézanne and Alfred
Sisley made a radical departure
from the conventions of art – and,
by extension, their society. They
did away with secular dogmas,
institutions and traditions. In so doing,
they deliberately threw the gates
open to experimentation, giving
their contemporaries newfound
freedom to experiment in a manner
previously unseen – ultimately paving
the way to influential new styles
and much of the art we see today.
But what was the change
really about? For the first time,
Impressionists were not representing
reality, but rather focusing on its
human experience. They were
capturing fleeting moments –
impressions, as it were – with bold,
hurried strokes rather than pursuing
academic realism through obsessive
refinement. They were celebrating
a more intimate connection
between individuals and nature,
and assimilating faraway cultures.
Most importantly, they were
abruptly rejecting traditional
canons and embracing modernity
– changing their way of working
to reflect the world they lived in.
The Impressionists’ boldness to
make a conscious departure from
conventions, swim against the tide
and put new ideas above much easier
careers didn’t only create some of
the most iconic artworks in history.
It drew a line in the sand, igniting a
change that would reverberate for
generations to come, expanding the
possibilities of art and expression.
—
It is hard not to be inspired by
the bravery and significance of
the Impressionist revolution, its
power as a movement to challenge
conventions and create immediate
change, as we look at both the
context and the brands in our
2021 Best Global Brands study.
On the one hand, there’s
the context.
It’s not looking good, and can be best
described as a roomful of elephants.
Climate change. Inequality. Resource
depletion. Overconsumption.
Humanitarian crises. The world
is still not working very well.
And yet, brands are. They continue
to be powerful constructs that drive
beliefs, behaviours and choices,
and connect billions of people to
some of the world’s most influential
organisations, unlocking an
aggregate value of over $ 2.6 trillion.
And so we are, as brand leaders,
at an inflection point.
7
Best Global Brand 2021 Report
We can sit back, and accept brands
as an inevitable part of the problem
– engines for consumption with
unavoidable consequences. We can
cling on to the traditional consumerist
paradigm, and continue to manage
brands purely as assets that provide
value to customers and shareholders,
with the broader and longer term
consequences as the price to pay.
Alternatively, we can be inspired
by the moves of some of the
brands in this study, and look at
brands as part of the solution.
We can dare to reimagine them
as the connective tissue between
business and society, investors
and people, profit and purpose,
leaders and constituents, present
consumption and future resources.
In 1874, the Impressionists chose
to break away from traditions,
and rethink the very essence and
purpose of art in a changing world.
Today, as brand leaders, we can
choose to preserve the inertia of
corporate branding dogmas - or we
can leap ahead, rethink the very
function of brands in this decade –
and reengineer their role in societies.
—
The most critical social and
environmental debates of our times
share a common denominator –
the future of individuals, societies
and our planet. They focus on the
will to endow the next generations
with undiminished – or, ideally,
even greater – possibilities.
Some of the rising brands in our
study are actively expanding
possibilities, by driving decisive
innovation, developing kinder,
more viable business models,
making hard choices and taking
uncompromising stances.
These brands lead from a better
future. They engage people
and foster their participation,
making them part of a movement.
Ultimately, they become more than
simply relevant – they are seen
as part of the solution, not the
problem. Their growth becomes
a matter of common interest.
Conversely, some organisations
are failing to tangibly and quickly
adapt. These will increasingly be
seen as being part of the problem,
not the solution. Their growth
will be questioned as producing
future costs and sacrifices –
ultimately limiting possibilities.
And so we
are, as brand
leaders, at an
inflection point.

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
The 1920s saw the development
of the idea of externalities – the
consequences of production
or consumption unwillingly
sustained by third parties.
One century later, externalities have
abandoned the realm of economic
theory. They are no longer distant or
invisible issues – they are clear and
present, and are increasingly central
to any organisation’s legitimacy
to exist, operate and grow.
Growing public awareness and
information means that any brand’s
externalities will undergo the
same level of scrutiny traditionally
reserved to its core products,
services and experiences.
Increasingly, the question facing
any business leader – and their
brands – will be whether they are
part of the problem or the solution;
expanding or limiting our possibilities.
What side are they on?
—
Notions such as stakeholder
capitalism and purpose are not
new, and are now mostly accepted.
The issue now is walking the talk.
Defining an inspiring, credible
and authentic purpose may be
complex – but it isn’t hard. What
is hard is actually serving it.
A considerable part of the problem
between talk and walk is the old
paradigm of going at it alone.
The ticking time bombs of this decade
are too large for any single
organisation or individual in
isolation to address them in
isolation. The simple truth is that
universal, systemic problems require
widespread, systemic collaboration.
And this is where brands come in.
Brands influence our individual
beliefs, belonging and behaviours.
But what strong brands do
is unite people and create
movements around shared goals,
principles and a desired future.
As the shape of capitalism changes,
the role of brands in this decade will
not be to ‘change the world’ – but,
rather, to give their constituents
the agency, means, connections
and conviction to do so;
to be collaboration platforms –
helping creators, consumers and
communities collaborate and
adhere to shared principles.
By making changes in individual
behaviour desirable – after all, that’s
what brands are great at – brands
can connect their customers to their
wider constituents, managing their
externalities as part of their business.
—
Of course, this is easy to say, but
harder to serve. What does this
mean, in practice, for the way leaders
build and manage their brands?
Our Best Global Brands study
reveals a compelling chain.
In order to influence behaviours
beyond sheer consumption,
brands must be relevant,
along three dimensions –
presence, trust and affinity.
They must be present - part of the
conversations that are important
to their audiences and their ethos;
they must create affinity by playing
a meaningful role in customers’
and constituents’ lives by taking
clear stances on the principles and
priorities that are key to them; and
they must engender trust – the
confidence that a brand will not
just deliver on a promise, but
behave with their constituents’
interests in mind.
But how do you create relevance?
Our data shows a distinct correlation
between the Best Global Brands’
relevance and the degree to which
they engage constituents – through
moves that are distinctive, coherent,
and that invite participation.
In turn, what are the necessary
condition for creating engaging
experiences and moves?
Again, our data provides valuable
insight. Brands that are able to
engage their audiences are those
that show exceptional leadership
– a clear direction, full alignment,
empathy and understanding
of constituents, and agility.
Defining an inspiring,
credible and authentic
purpose may be complex
– but it isn’t hard. What is
hard is actually serving it.

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
Let’s rewind: our data shows
that the world’s most influential
brands activate a clear chain:
Leadership creates Engagement.
Engagement creates Relevance.
Where does this take us? At a time
of crisis of confidence and trust
in institutions, government and
society overall, we must rethink
brands as acts of leadership.
Businesses that want to be relevant
must fill in the void. They must be
seen as leaders at the forefront of
a transformation that transcends
their categories, sectors and
traditional approach in order
to take advantage of the
opportunity of what our post-
pandemic world can be like.
Brands that are thriving at the
beginning of this decade lead from
the future, engaging people in a
journey towards that future, and
giving us the choice and agency to
act according to shared principles.
First, see profit as a resource.
At a time of income insecurity and
rising collective concerns, priorities
and needs are being reassessed. In
high-consumption societies, frugality
will be embraced. Growth as an
end in itself is being challenged.
So, determine clearly what your
business’s role in the world might
credibly be, and then define how its
profit and growth can be seen as
a valuable resource enabling your
constituents to drive real change.
Second, pick your battle.
No single business can effectively
lead the charge on more than a
single systemic issue. So be sharp,
focused and authentic when
defining what your role in the world
and contribution can truthfully be.
Be crisp and clear on what your
societal enemy is, and what you
can realistically do about it.
Third, think arenas, not sectors.
It will be increasingly hard to
build strong communities around
products and services; much
easier to do so around fundamental
needs – like move, play, connect
and express. Categories and
technologies come and go; needs
stay and evolve. Define the arenas
you are actually competing in.
Fourth, be accountable.
Have your purpose as your north star,
but be clear on your ambition – i.e.,
what you’re setting out to tangibly
achieve in the next couple of years.
What is the best version of your
organisation at a given date, and how
are you actually going to measure it?
Lastly, make moves, not campaigns.
This decade’s challenges need less
visions and communications, and
more action and delivery. Your brand
manifests itself into much more
than your customer journey – it is,
in fact the way your business exists
as a human experience for all your
constituents. Rebuilding a fairer
supply chain to is no less part of the
experience than, say, your channels.
So as brands set out
to expand our present
and future possibilities,
here are five priorities for
brand leaders.
Engagement →
DISTINCTIVENESS
COHERENCE
PARTICIPATION
Leadership →
DIRECTION
ALIGNMENT
EMPATHY
AGILITY
Relevance
PRESENCE
TRUST
AFFINITY

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
At a time when slow, gradual
evolution is not just good enough,
as brand leaders, we badly need an
Impressionist moment. We need that
same courage to face controversy,
challenge deeply entrenched
dogmas, accelerate change and
rethink the very nature of what we do.
Just like the Impressionists abruptly
reimagined the function of art in a
changing world, we must rethink
the role of brands for the decisive
times we live in. Like them, we
must place human experience,
rather than tired conventions, at the
centre. Like them, we must expand
possibilities for those to come.
There has never been a better
time to think bigger and together.
To make brands not just assets
– but, most importantly, acts of
leadership for these decisive times:
a decade of crucial challenges,
yes – but also immense possibility

A
gainst a background
of profound global
economic, social and
technological change,
the 2021 Best Global
Brands report recorded
the largest brand growth ever. The
combined value of the top 100 brands
increased from $2,326,491 million
in 2020 to $2,667,524 million in
2021, an overall increase of 15%.
The fastest growing, most valuable
and top performing sector remains
technology. The digital trends that
have underpinned strong growth in this
sector show no sign of abating and the
different professional and personal
ways in which consumers rely on cloud-
based technology, artificial intelligence,
streaming and subscription-based
services bolster this sector. Technology’s
representation in the rankings reflects
this; the top three brands, Apple,
Amazon and Microsoft, make up 62.3%
of the total value of the top ten brands.

021’s top risers shared
strong performances
on three brand strength
factors: Participation,
Agility and Direction.
The technology giants
Apple, Microsoft and Amazon
continue to shine, making up
the top ten alongside fast risers
Salesforce and Adobe.
But the real champion is Tesla,
recording a near-tripling of its
brand value resulting in a striking
26-point rise to 14th place. Tesla’s
meteoric rise was achieved with a
ubiquitous social media presence
that enhanced its brand values,
consolidating its position as the
world-leading Electric Vehicle
manufacturer. It’s core purpose, “to
accelerate the world’s transition
to sustainable energy”, clearly
resonates with a growing, loyal
consumer-base and demonstrates
how successful brands woo
consumers with a clear, coherent
vision. Even with anecdotal reports
of reliability issues, Tesla customers
score high satisfaction, significantly
above peers in this sector.
Another rapid riser is Salesforce,
which demonstrated effective
agility to diversify its acquisition
Biggest
Risers
and portfolio strategy and propel
growth. Thanks to this, Salesforce
is the fastest-growing enterprise
software company globally, both
for personal and professional
use. It’s ambitious product-led
growth strategy and innovation
has expanded its user-base and
community and has facilitated
the continued rollout of software
globally on several dimensions,
including in Covid-19 relief efforts.
Apple, the world’s top brand
for the ninth consecutive year,
continues to lead the way in in
direction ensuring that everyone
in its organization is moving
towards a clear, ambitious goal.
It has diversified further into
health care, (with the Apple Watch
now recording blood oxygen
levels), subscription-services in
entertainment, data-storage and
music, it has continued to stay close
to customers and it continues to
find strong online retail solutions
despite complications caused by
the pandemic. Ultimately, Apple
still demonstrates remarkable
direction and a brand value that
centres on providing the consumer
a simple, seamless experience,
which reflects its significant
26% increase in brand value.

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
I
n 2021, we see only one new
entrant into the top-100 Best
Global Brands, which perhaps
represents a stabilising market
following the disruptive effects of
the pandemic in 2020. This brand
is Sephora, which enters the Best
Global Brands report for the first
time. According to CEO of Sephora
Martin Brok, Sephora’s success
derives from the exceptional work
of his 35,000 colleagues, which has
transformed Sephora into a luxury
‘love mark’ for many consumers.
Sephora’s culture of disruptive
innovation translates into success
when marketing their perfumes and
cosmetics, and Sephora’s entrance
means that makes LVMH Group
becomes the first group to have five
brands in the Best Global Brands
ranking (Sephora, Louis Vuitton,
Tiffany & Co., Hennessy, Dior).

Methodology
I
nterbrand’s brand valuation
methodology seeks to provide
a rich and insightful analysis of
your brand, providing a clear
picture of how your brand is
contributing to business growth
today, together with a road map of
activities to ensure that it is delivering
even further growth tomorrow.
Having pioneered brand valuation in
1988, we have a deep understanding
of the impact a strong brand has on
key stakeholder groups that influence
the growth of your business, namely
(current and prospective) customers,
employees, and investors. Strong
brands influence customer choice
and create loyalty; attract, retain,
and motivate talent; and lower
the cost of financing. Our brand
valuation methodology has been
specifically designed to take all
of these factors into account.
Interbrand was the first company
to have its 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 components to all of
our valuations: an analysis of the
financial performance of the branded
products or services, the role the
brand plays in purchase decisions,
and the brand’s competitive
strength. For a more in-depth view,
visit bestglobalbrands.com.
Financial Data:
Refinitiv, company annual
reports, investor presentations
and analyst reports

Best Global Brand 2021 Report
Enter the New
Decade of
Possibility with
Interbrand
Join us for one
of the following
workshops
By now you will have seen our
list of 2021’s Best Global Brands.
You may be thinking “how can
I leverage the leadership >
engagement > relevance chain to
increase the value of my brand?”.
You might be interested in deeply
exploring one of the three drivers,
or you might want to work with
us to imagine new possibilities.
CLIMATE: A CALL TO ACTION
At Interbrand, we recognize the urgent need for systemic
change. To that end, we are applying our expertise to
rebrand the climate crisis. Join our program, in collaboration
with the United Nations Development Program, to build
a coalition of like-minded brands and people, with the
aim of ensuring the well-being of future generations.
A FLAG IN THE FUTURE
The complex challenges of the present require leaders
of the future. To create hope in the face of anxiety, we
need leaders who are willing to build relationships with
customers that will change the world. Join us to assess
how your brand can lead from the future. Use the time
to set a worthy purpose and a powerful ambition that
will steer your brand through turbulence and chaos.
ENGAGEMENT AND EXPERIENCE
The battle for customers is increasingly won and lost in
the everyday brand experience. It’s more vital than ever
to work with customers and employees as collaborators,
co-creators and innovators, optimizing, aligning and
transforming the experience, creating faster brand
impact that customers can see and feel every day.
Working with your customers to develop moves
that capture their imagination, and build synergistic
relationships, drives new relevance, engagement
and leadership to increase revenue and growth.
RELEVANCE: A SENSE OF BELONGING
In times of crisis, there is also great opportunity. Learn
to demystify the narrative, mobilize and capture the
spirit of the age. Explore how to enroll your customers
as active participants, constituents in your coalition,
rather than viewing them as just consumers.
HEARTBEAT SESSIONS: EXPLORE
WHAT MAKES US HUMAN
Explore problems facing brands from a new
perspective: the perspective of the customer.
Experience relevant brand ideas born from human
truths. Bring customer inspiration into your boardroom,
accelerate change around clear customer needs,
and create stakeholder alignment at speed.
AMBITION AND TRAJECTORY
What are the techniques and processes to aspire to
have a brand valued at more than $1 trillion dollars?
It is a combination of the latest solutions from data
business segmentations, business case breakthrough
solutions and implementing key strategies on brand
strength analysis. This is a unique combination of
Human Truths, Brand Economics and Brand Experience.

Interbrand Best Global brands report 2021

  • 1.
  • 2. 3 Best Global Brand 2021 Report Welcome to Best Global Brands 2021 O n the surface, the 2021 Best Global Brands report suggests that market dynamics are returning to a semblance of normality. In contrast to last year, the vast majority have recognised growth, and the average brand value increase of the Best Global Brands is 10% in 2021, compared to 1.3% in 2020. It now seems that a return to normal is possible, yet wasn’t normal the problem? In last year’s Best Global Brands report, I noted that businesses that are not serving their citizens are ultimately managing their own decline. In this years’ report, we take this thinking further as Interbrand’s Global Chief Strategy Officer, Manfredi Ricca, demonstrates in compelling detail how the best global brands must move beyond being engines of consumption to become catalysts of possibility (see page 4). Inspired by the data from this year’s study, he writes of brands as “Acts of Leadership.” What this means is that the most inspiring brands are extending their leadership role beyond their direct product category to confront the biggest challenges we face. Tesla, the biggest riser in the Best Global Brands report this year, is driving us towards a low- carbon future and is a leader in its category. The work of PayPal and Salesforce in addressing issues such as economic equality and reproductive rights are further examples of how the best brands are providing systemic solutions to systemic problems. The most inspiring brands are reshaping themselves as true platforms of the possible. However, we must do more. In 2021, the momentous challenges we all face become more urgent by the day. We are at a global inflection point for economies, societies, governments, environments, and people. At the intersection of all these problems is the climate crisis – an existential threat that will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations. If we settle back into pre-pandemic trends of unrestricted, unsustainable growth, the climate crisis will have unimaginable effects on us all. This much we know. The radical question for brands – including Interbrand – is, what can we do? Over the past 12 months, my human truths team has been working with a community of 500 consumers and citizens from around the world to understand their perspective on climate change. Consumers are confused, they hear technical language, are exposed to unclear messaging, few benefits and contradictory calls to action. Their insight is important and concerning - consumer confusion leads to inaction. Just this month, Jeff Beer wrote in Fast Company Magazine: “When it comes to the climate crisis, Americans have been regularly served ... warnings about rising temperatures, sea levels, melting ice caps, and the impending societal fall-out of it all. And yet it still hasn’t been enough to convince people to act like this is a crisis... That disconnect illustrates a distinct failure to communicate the severity of the climate crisis in a way that sparks the required public response.... We need a simple, powerful climate crisis message to mobilize the masses.” Our human behaviour data suggests the same: 80% of consumers want to create change - but they don’t know how. “We need a simple, powerful message to mobilize the masses...” What we know is that no one company, or brand or government can do this alone. The world needs people, organisations and experts working together, around the globe, to make a greater difference. To act together and to create change on a global scale. And, as Manfredi notes, nothing is capable of inspiring behavioural change and collaboration like great brands. So, I invite the community of Best Global Brands to join Interbrand and the United Nations Development Program in our own Act of Brand Leadership. A united and global Iconic Move to re-brand climate change. We look forward to working with you as we move into this exciting new space. Charles Trevail Global Chief Executive Officer, Interbrand
  • 3. 5 Best Global Brand 2021 Report For the first time, Impressionists were not representing subjects, but rather focusing on human experiences. Brands as acts of leadership Change in culture rarely happens in sudden leaps, but there are exceptions. Every so often, single dates make everything different. On April 15th, 1874, a former photography studio in Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, premiered the works of a movement called the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers, Etc. The paintings – on sale during the show – depicted contemporary life in a technique that looked rough and unfinished to both art critics and the general public. The exhibition was far from successful. Beyond incurring a significant loss, it attracted insulting criticism and derision. Louis Leroy, a critic, sought to discredit the artists by mockingly dubbing them after one of Claude Monet’s paintings: “Impression: Sunrise”. Today, that premiere is remembered as the first Impressionist exhibition – and the date marking the beginning of modern art. In much of the world, visual art was never to be quite the same again. Showing boldness and facing huge controversy, artists like Monet, Paul Cézanne and Alfred Sisley made a radical departure from the conventions of art – and, by extension, their society. They did away with secular dogmas, institutions and traditions. In so doing, they deliberately threw the gates open to experimentation, giving their contemporaries newfound freedom to experiment in a manner previously unseen – ultimately paving the way to influential new styles and much of the art we see today. But what was the change really about? For the first time, Impressionists were not representing reality, but rather focusing on its human experience. They were capturing fleeting moments – impressions, as it were – with bold, hurried strokes rather than pursuing academic realism through obsessive refinement. They were celebrating a more intimate connection between individuals and nature, and assimilating faraway cultures. Most importantly, they were abruptly rejecting traditional canons and embracing modernity – changing their way of working to reflect the world they lived in. The Impressionists’ boldness to make a conscious departure from conventions, swim against the tide and put new ideas above much easier careers didn’t only create some of the most iconic artworks in history. It drew a line in the sand, igniting a change that would reverberate for generations to come, expanding the possibilities of art and expression. — It is hard not to be inspired by the bravery and significance of the Impressionist revolution, its power as a movement to challenge conventions and create immediate change, as we look at both the context and the brands in our 2021 Best Global Brands study. On the one hand, there’s the context. It’s not looking good, and can be best described as a roomful of elephants. Climate change. Inequality. Resource depletion. Overconsumption. Humanitarian crises. The world is still not working very well. And yet, brands are. They continue to be powerful constructs that drive beliefs, behaviours and choices, and connect billions of people to some of the world’s most influential organisations, unlocking an aggregate value of over $ 2.6 trillion. And so we are, as brand leaders, at an inflection point.
  • 4. 7 Best Global Brand 2021 Report We can sit back, and accept brands as an inevitable part of the problem – engines for consumption with unavoidable consequences. We can cling on to the traditional consumerist paradigm, and continue to manage brands purely as assets that provide value to customers and shareholders, with the broader and longer term consequences as the price to pay. Alternatively, we can be inspired by the moves of some of the brands in this study, and look at brands as part of the solution. We can dare to reimagine them as the connective tissue between business and society, investors and people, profit and purpose, leaders and constituents, present consumption and future resources. In 1874, the Impressionists chose to break away from traditions, and rethink the very essence and purpose of art in a changing world. Today, as brand leaders, we can choose to preserve the inertia of corporate branding dogmas - or we can leap ahead, rethink the very function of brands in this decade – and reengineer their role in societies. — The most critical social and environmental debates of our times share a common denominator – the future of individuals, societies and our planet. They focus on the will to endow the next generations with undiminished – or, ideally, even greater – possibilities. Some of the rising brands in our study are actively expanding possibilities, by driving decisive innovation, developing kinder, more viable business models, making hard choices and taking uncompromising stances. These brands lead from a better future. They engage people and foster their participation, making them part of a movement. Ultimately, they become more than simply relevant – they are seen as part of the solution, not the problem. Their growth becomes a matter of common interest. Conversely, some organisations are failing to tangibly and quickly adapt. These will increasingly be seen as being part of the problem, not the solution. Their growth will be questioned as producing future costs and sacrifices – ultimately limiting possibilities. And so we are, as brand leaders, at an inflection point.
  • 5. 9 Best Global Brand 2021 Report The 1920s saw the development of the idea of externalities – the consequences of production or consumption unwillingly sustained by third parties. One century later, externalities have abandoned the realm of economic theory. They are no longer distant or invisible issues – they are clear and present, and are increasingly central to any organisation’s legitimacy to exist, operate and grow. Growing public awareness and information means that any brand’s externalities will undergo the same level of scrutiny traditionally reserved to its core products, services and experiences. Increasingly, the question facing any business leader – and their brands – will be whether they are part of the problem or the solution; expanding or limiting our possibilities. What side are they on? — Notions such as stakeholder capitalism and purpose are not new, and are now mostly accepted. The issue now is walking the talk. Defining an inspiring, credible and authentic purpose may be complex – but it isn’t hard. What is hard is actually serving it. A considerable part of the problem between talk and walk is the old paradigm of going at it alone. The ticking time bombs of this decade are too large for any single organisation or individual in isolation to address them in isolation. The simple truth is that universal, systemic problems require widespread, systemic collaboration. And this is where brands come in. Brands influence our individual beliefs, belonging and behaviours. But what strong brands do is unite people and create movements around shared goals, principles and a desired future. As the shape of capitalism changes, the role of brands in this decade will not be to ‘change the world’ – but, rather, to give their constituents the agency, means, connections and conviction to do so; to be collaboration platforms – helping creators, consumers and communities collaborate and adhere to shared principles. By making changes in individual behaviour desirable – after all, that’s what brands are great at – brands can connect their customers to their wider constituents, managing their externalities as part of their business. — Of course, this is easy to say, but harder to serve. What does this mean, in practice, for the way leaders build and manage their brands? Our Best Global Brands study reveals a compelling chain. In order to influence behaviours beyond sheer consumption, brands must be relevant, along three dimensions – presence, trust and affinity. They must be present - part of the conversations that are important to their audiences and their ethos; they must create affinity by playing a meaningful role in customers’ and constituents’ lives by taking clear stances on the principles and priorities that are key to them; and they must engender trust – the confidence that a brand will not just deliver on a promise, but behave with their constituents’ interests in mind. But how do you create relevance? Our data shows a distinct correlation between the Best Global Brands’ relevance and the degree to which they engage constituents – through moves that are distinctive, coherent, and that invite participation. In turn, what are the necessary condition for creating engaging experiences and moves? Again, our data provides valuable insight. Brands that are able to engage their audiences are those that show exceptional leadership – a clear direction, full alignment, empathy and understanding of constituents, and agility. Defining an inspiring, credible and authentic purpose may be complex – but it isn’t hard. What is hard is actually serving it.

  • 6. 11 Best Global Brand 2021 Report Let’s rewind: our data shows that the world’s most influential brands activate a clear chain: Leadership creates Engagement. Engagement creates Relevance. Where does this take us? At a time of crisis of confidence and trust in institutions, government and society overall, we must rethink brands as acts of leadership. Businesses that want to be relevant must fill in the void. They must be seen as leaders at the forefront of a transformation that transcends their categories, sectors and traditional approach in order to take advantage of the opportunity of what our post- pandemic world can be like. Brands that are thriving at the beginning of this decade lead from the future, engaging people in a journey towards that future, and giving us the choice and agency to act according to shared principles. First, see profit as a resource. At a time of income insecurity and rising collective concerns, priorities and needs are being reassessed. In high-consumption societies, frugality will be embraced. Growth as an end in itself is being challenged. So, determine clearly what your business’s role in the world might credibly be, and then define how its profit and growth can be seen as a valuable resource enabling your constituents to drive real change. Second, pick your battle. No single business can effectively lead the charge on more than a single systemic issue. So be sharp, focused and authentic when defining what your role in the world and contribution can truthfully be. Be crisp and clear on what your societal enemy is, and what you can realistically do about it. Third, think arenas, not sectors. It will be increasingly hard to build strong communities around products and services; much easier to do so around fundamental needs – like move, play, connect and express. Categories and technologies come and go; needs stay and evolve. Define the arenas you are actually competing in. Fourth, be accountable. Have your purpose as your north star, but be clear on your ambition – i.e., what you’re setting out to tangibly achieve in the next couple of years. What is the best version of your organisation at a given date, and how are you actually going to measure it? Lastly, make moves, not campaigns. This decade’s challenges need less visions and communications, and more action and delivery. Your brand manifests itself into much more than your customer journey – it is, in fact the way your business exists as a human experience for all your constituents. Rebuilding a fairer supply chain to is no less part of the experience than, say, your channels. So as brands set out to expand our present and future possibilities, here are five priorities for brand leaders. Engagement → DISTINCTIVENESS COHERENCE PARTICIPATION Leadership → DIRECTION ALIGNMENT EMPATHY AGILITY Relevance PRESENCE TRUST AFFINITY
  • 7. 13 Best Global Brand 2021 Report At a time when slow, gradual evolution is not just good enough, as brand leaders, we badly need an Impressionist moment. We need that same courage to face controversy, challenge deeply entrenched dogmas, accelerate change and rethink the very nature of what we do. Just like the Impressionists abruptly reimagined the function of art in a changing world, we must rethink the role of brands for the decisive times we live in. Like them, we must place human experience, rather than tired conventions, at the centre. Like them, we must expand possibilities for those to come. There has never been a better time to think bigger and together. To make brands not just assets – but, most importantly, acts of leadership for these decisive times: a decade of crucial challenges, yes – but also immense possibility Manfredi Ricca Global Chief Strategy Officer Interbrand
  • 8. 15 Best Global Brand 2021 Report Top 100 A gainst a background of profound global economic, social and technological change, the 2021 Best Global Brands report recorded the largest brand growth ever. The combined value of the top 100 brands increased from $2,326,491 million in 2020 to $2,667,524 million in 2021, an overall increase of 15%. The fastest growing, most valuable and top performing sector remains technology. The digital trends that have underpinned strong growth in this sector show no sign of abating and the different professional and personal ways in which consumers rely on cloud- based technology, artificial intelligence, streaming and subscription-based services bolster this sector. Technology’s representation in the rankings reflects this; the top three brands, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, make up 62.3% of the total value of the top ten brands.

  • 10. 19 Best Global Brand 2021 Report 2 021’s top risers shared strong performances on three brand strength factors: Participation, Agility and Direction. The technology giants Apple, Microsoft and Amazon continue to shine, making up the top ten alongside fast risers Salesforce and Adobe. But the real champion is Tesla, recording a near-tripling of its brand value resulting in a striking 26-point rise to 14th place. Tesla’s meteoric rise was achieved with a ubiquitous social media presence that enhanced its brand values, consolidating its position as the world-leading Electric Vehicle manufacturer. It’s core purpose, “to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”, clearly resonates with a growing, loyal consumer-base and demonstrates how successful brands woo consumers with a clear, coherent vision. Even with anecdotal reports of reliability issues, Tesla customers score high satisfaction, significantly above peers in this sector. Another rapid riser is Salesforce, which demonstrated effective agility to diversify its acquisition Biggest Risers and portfolio strategy and propel growth. Thanks to this, Salesforce is the fastest-growing enterprise software company globally, both for personal and professional use. It’s ambitious product-led growth strategy and innovation has expanded its user-base and community and has facilitated the continued rollout of software globally on several dimensions, including in Covid-19 relief efforts. Apple, the world’s top brand for the ninth consecutive year, continues to lead the way in in direction ensuring that everyone in its organization is moving towards a clear, ambitious goal. It has diversified further into health care, (with the Apple Watch now recording blood oxygen levels), subscription-services in entertainment, data-storage and music, it has continued to stay close to customers and it continues to find strong online retail solutions despite complications caused by the pandemic. Ultimately, Apple still demonstrates remarkable direction and a brand value that centres on providing the consumer a simple, seamless experience, which reflects its significant 26% increase in brand value.

According to CEO of Sephora Martin Brok, Sephora’s success derives from the exceptional work of his 35,000 colleagues, which has transformed Sephora into a luxury ‘love mark’ for many consumers.

  • 13. 25 Best Global Brand 2021 Report Methodology I nterbrand’s brand valuation methodology seeks to provide a rich and insightful analysis of your brand, providing a clear picture of how your brand is contributing to business growth today, together with a road map of activities to ensure that it is delivering even further growth tomorrow. Having pioneered brand valuation in 1988, we have a deep understanding of the impact a strong brand has on key stakeholder groups that influence the growth of your business, namely (current and prospective) customers, employees, and investors. Strong brands influence customer choice and create loyalty; attract, retain, and motivate talent; and lower the cost of financing. Our brand valuation methodology has been specifically designed to take all of these factors into account. Interbrand was the first company to have its 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 components to all of our valuations: an analysis of the financial performance of the branded products or services, the role the brand plays in purchase decisions, and the brand’s competitive strength.
