STRONG BRAND EqUITY DRIVES<br />

SUSTAINED MARKET ADVANTAGE<br />

NINE OF THE 15 brands listed in the<br />

<strong>Brand</strong>Z 2013 <strong>Brand</strong> Contribution<br />

ranking also appeared last year.<br />

The repeat performances of these brands—<br />

Pampers, Baidu, Guinness, Natura, Skol,<br />

Coca-Cola, Falabella, Chanel and Louis<br />

Vuitton—underlines the durability of<br />

<strong>Brand</strong> Contribution strength.<br />

<strong>Brand</strong> Contribution is a salient component<br />

of brand <strong>value</strong>. It is the portion of brand<br />

<strong>value</strong> driven by brand itself, rather<br />

than financial or other factors. <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution measures a brand’s ability<br />

to stand out and generate desire and<br />

loyalty in the mind of the consumer.<br />

<strong>Brand</strong>Z methodology bases <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution on in-depth, quantitative<br />

interviews with over two million<br />

consumers in 30-plus countries. This<br />

rigorous, objective and consumer-facing<br />

research distinguishes <strong>Brand</strong>Z as<br />

the most authoritative brand valuation<br />

methodology. <strong>Brand</strong>Z scores <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution on a scale of 1 to 5, with<br />

5 being the most positive. (For a full<br />

explanation, please see Methodology on<br />

page 134).<br />

Most of the <strong>Brand</strong>Z 2013 <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution Top 15 also rank in the<br />

Top 100. Some appear only in the<br />

category rankings. All outperformed the<br />

average <strong>Brand</strong> Contribution levels of<br />

their respective <strong>categories</strong>. The mix of<br />

strategies and tactics for achieving this<br />

competitive advantage vary by brand<br />

and category.<br />

Beer and luxury are the most represented<br />

<strong>categories</strong> in the <strong>Brand</strong> Contribution<br />

ranking with three brands each. <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution is especially important<br />

in these <strong>categories</strong>, where the product<br />

depends so much on effective marketing<br />

communication and the emotional<br />

response of the consumer.<br />

34 <strong>Brand</strong>Z Top 100 Most Valuable Global <strong>Brand</strong>s 2013<br />

The <strong>Brand</strong> Contribution leader, Aguila,<br />

is a Colombian beer brand owned by<br />

SABMiller. It appears for the first time<br />

in <strong>Brand</strong>Z 2013, in the beer category<br />

ranking. Guinness enjoys strong <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution in part because of its<br />

consistent brand proposition. Diageo,<br />

the alcoholic beverage company, markets<br />

its Guinness brand worldwide as a<br />

premium beer.<br />

Skol is a local Brazilian brand owned and<br />

marketed by AB InBev, the world’s largest<br />

brewer. The personal care brand Natura<br />

also is Brazilian. The presence of Skol and<br />

Natura indicate how local brands can<br />

build consumer preference even when the<br />

market includes global competitors.<br />

The slowdown in China’s economic<br />

growth affected luxury brands, but Gucci<br />

sales remained strong in most regions,<br />

even Europe. And an increase in <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution contributed to Gucci’s<br />

substantial rise in brand <strong>value</strong>.<br />

Chanel and Louis Vuitton illustrate<br />

how luxury brands cultivate <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution in various ways. Chanel<br />

emphasizes the brand’s exclusivity,<br />

while Louis Vuitton tends to be more<br />

accessible, widely celebrating its heritage<br />

in travel and evoking the elegance of<br />

earlier periods.<br />

The presence of a retailer in the <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution ranking reflects the high<br />

profile of the department store Falabella,<br />

particularly in its home market, Chile,<br />

but also throughout South America.<br />

The Coca-Cola brand continues to score<br />

high in <strong>Brand</strong> Contribution even as the<br />

company’s carbonated beverages remain<br />

the focus of consumer health concerns.<br />

The strength of Coca-Cola’s <strong>Brand</strong><br />

Contribution score illustrates the power<br />

of an iconic brand to help support the<br />

business it signifies.<br />

<strong>Brand</strong><br />
