        About the Data: When determining the top 100 most valuable brands each year, Interbrand examines three key aspects that contribute to a brand’s value:

        • The financial performance of the branded product and service;
        • The role the brand plays in influencing customer choice; and
        • The strength the brand has to command a premium price or secure earnings for the company.
