Top 10 Insights from 20 years of BrandZ

For the last 20 years, Kantar BrandZ analysis has proven that businesses that invest in their brands outperform the market, and that investment in marketing remains the most powerful form of defence in times of crisis.

Kantar Australia’s Head of Brand Strategy Ryan France along with brand experts, Sam Walsh and Clare Stace, recently presented the 10 most powerful BrandZ insights from the last 20 years, specifically addressing:

– How leading brands have overcome the challenges of the past two decades
– The local brands doing it right in Australia, New Zealand and on the world stage
