Resources: BrandZTM Brand Valuation Methodology
Why BrandZTM is the definitive Brand valuation methodology
fTAll brand valuation methodologies are similar – up to a point.
All methodologies use financial research and sophisticated mathematical formulas to calculate current and future earnings that can be attributed directly to a brand rather than to the corporation. This exercise produces an important but incomplete picture.
What’s missing? The picture
of the brand at this point lacks input from the people whose opinions are most important –
the consumer. This is where the BrandZTM methodology and the methodologies of our competitors part company.
HOW DOES THE COMPETITION DETERMINE THE CONSUMER VIEW?
Interbrand derives the consumer point of view from panels of experts who contribute their opinions. The Brand Finance methodology employees
a complicated accounting method called Royalty Relief Valuation.
WHY IS THE BRANDZTM METHODOLOGY SUPERIOR?
BrandZTM goes much further and is more relevant. Once we have the important, but incomplete, financial picture of the brand, we communicate with consumers, people who are actually paying for brands every
day, constantly. Globally, our on- going, in-depth quantitative research includes three million consumers and more than 100,000 brands in
over 50 markets worldwide. In India, our research covers over 100,000 consumers and more than 1,000 different brands.
WHAT’S THE BENEFIT OF BRANDZTM?
The BrandZTM methodology produces important benefits for two broad audiences.
