  • A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How Different Types of Methodologies Can Help to Answer Different Types of Questions
    A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How different types of methodologies can help to answer different types of questions Gabriela Salinas, Global Brand Manager, Deloitte and Tim Ambler, Senior Fellow, London Business School Abstract Brands can be valued using a variety of techniques. Like any tool, each technique may be suitable for some purposes and not for others. This paper classifies the methodologies according to the approach and premises they adopt and suitability for different types of applications. We also indicate flaws in methodologies either in general or for particular purposes. Classification is complicated by specialist firms seeking to differentiate methodologies (“proprietary models”) for their own marketing purposes. Much of this differentiation is little more than re-labeling. The 24 methods of brand valuation, and 52 specialist providers, garnered from the literature represent possibly hundreds of commercial and academic approaches by the multitude of providers around the world. After removing those that do not appear to be used in practice we were left with 18 practical methods which we analyze and classify. This taxonomy is intended as a guide to current and potential users of brand valuation through the jungle that the proliferation of proprietary brand valuation techniques has created. May 14, 2008 Contact: [email protected], [email protected] © 2008 Gabriela Salinas and Tim Ambler A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How different types of methodologies can help to answer different types of questions Since the 1980s, marketers have been under increasing pressure for “accountability” in two senses: being responsible for the results from marketing activity and reporting those results using the language of finance.

  • Brand Valuation a Case Study on Lindt & Sprüngli
    MAJEURE FINANCE Brand Valuation A case study on Lindt & Sprüngli Daniel Llobet & Alejo López-Balcells, supervised by Professor Patrick Legland June 2019 2 ABSTRACT Typically absent from financial statements, the brand of a company remains most times in the dark of finance. After all, it is the unconscious rationale behind consumers´ or employees´ choices for a product or a company, and how would you capitalize that? Some would say it is even esoteric. Nevertheless, its importance cannot be undermined. Brands are the most important individual asset of many companies and, as such, to know its value can be key for the company´s decision making. Built through years of investments in recognition, the brand is associated with certain product characteristics such as quality or price, but also eco- friendliness or fair trade. Perception, therefore, is key to understand its value. We have tried in this research paper to gather the predominant valuation methods in the industry, using them to value Lindt as brand. The broad range of results yielded by the different methods must not come as a surprise; as mentioned, the value is dependent on the evaluator´s perception of the brand. While some of the methods provide different solutions to try to objectivize this perception, this remains a subjective task after all. As a result, the main objective of this paper is to evaluate the relevance of each method, providing recommendations on the conditions to use one or the other. 3 TABLE OF CONTENT 1.

  • Brand Valuation
    Brand Valuation A versatile strategic tool for business Creating and managing brand valueTM Interbrand | Pg. 2 Brand Valuation A versatile strategic tool for business by Mike Rocha Compared to when Interbrand first pioneered BRAND brand valuation in the 1980s, global business PROPOSITION leaders now widely accept the importance and value of strong brands -- and the significant role they can play in enhancing business performance. Strong brands enhance business performance primarily through their influence on three key stakeholder groups: (current and prospective) customers, TOUCHPOINTS employees, and investors. They influence customer choice and create loyalty; attract, retain, and motivate talent; and lower the cost of financing. The influence of brands on current and PERCEPTIONS prospective customers is a particularly significant driver of economic value. By expressing their proposition consistently across all touchpoints, brands help shape perceptions and, therefore, purchase behavior, making products and services less substitutable. In this way, brands create GENERATION CONTINUITY demand, allowing their owners to enjoy OF DEMAND OF DEMAND higher returns. Strong brands also create continuity of demand into the future, thus making expected returns more likely – or less risky. Brands, therefore, create economic value by generating higher returns and growth, and by mitigating risk. HIGHER EXPECTED LOWER RISK Interbrand’s brand valuation methodology RETURNS has been specifically designed to take all of these stakeholders and value-creation levers into account. Role of Brand analysis is about understanding purchase behavior: the brand’s influence on the generation of demand through choice. Brand Strength measures the ability of the brand to create continuity of demand into the future through BRAND loyalty and, therefore, to reduce risk.
