The company's annual Best Global Brands reports has been "... voted one of the three most influential benchmark studies by business leaders."

Interbrand offers these six lessons for brand delivery:

  1. Champion your brand promise from the top down.
  2. Respond clearly and quickly to brand issues, large and small.
  3. Align your organization for longterm delivery.
  4. Empower employees to become the engine for brand delivery.
  5. Stay relevant.
  6. Strategically share the news of what the brand is accomplishing.
