A company's brand represents an implicit promise to customers on the quality they can expect to receive. A history of strong products and service, proven corporate responsibility, and irresistible advertising mascots all impact how we view brands, and in turn, how we choose to spend our money.
To help discover which brands have earned the most love and trust from customers, Morning Consult performed 250,000 survey interviews of U.S. adults, asking their opinion of 1,000 major brands. From these results, Morning Consult ranked all brands by their net favorability score, representing the percentage of respondents who view a brand favorably subtracted by the percentage who view it unfavorably.
The 2018 results feature companies that touch every aspect of our lives — from what we eat, to what we wear, to how we work. Read on to explore which brands are most loved by Americans.
