17、tes to the overall value of the company.This important understanding can inform decision-making related to marketing and branding efforts,as well as provide a benchmark for future performance.It can also be used to help attract investors and secure financing,as a strong brand can be a valuable asset

18、.Additionally,brand valuation can be useful in the event of a merger or acquisition,as it can help determine the value of the brand being acquired.Overall,brand valuation helps organisations understand the worth of their brand and how it fits into their overall business strategy.A strong brand can l

19、ead to improved business returns in several ways.First,a strong brand can help a company differentiate itself from its competitors and establish a unique identity in the market,which can lead to increased customer loyalty and retention.This,in turn,can lead to higher sales and revenue.A strong brand

20、 can also help a company command a higher price for its products or services,as consumers are willing to pay more for a brand they perceive as high-quality and trustworthy.In addition,a strong brand can help a company attract top talent,as employees may be more attracted to work for a well-known and

21、 reputable brand.Finally,a strong brand can provide a company with a competitive advantage and help it weather economic downturns or industry disruptions.This year,Brand Finance has invested more in researching and understanding customer perception of brands across the world than ever before,with or

81、rk and associated marketing IP within the branded business.Brand Finance helped to craft the internationally recognised standard on Brand Valuation ISO 10668.It defines brand as a marketing-related intangible asset including,but not limited to,names,terms,signs,symbols,logos,and designs,intended to

82、identify goods,services or entities,creating distinctive images and associations in the minds of stakeholders,thereby generating economic benefits.Brand ValueBrand Finance Denmark 50 22Brand Valuation Methodology.1324Definition of BrandBrand is defined as a bundle of trademarks and associated IP whi

84、hts.All brand valuation methodologies are essentially trying to identify this,although the approach and assumptions differ.As a result published brand values can be different.These differences are similar to the way equity analysts provide business valuations that are different to one another.The on

85、ly way you find out the“real”value is by looking at what people really pay.As a result,Brand Finance always incorporates a review of what users of brands actually pay for the use of brands in the form of brand royalty agreements,which are found in more or less every sector in the world.This is somet

86、imes known as the“Royalty Relief”methodology and is by far the most widely used approach for brand valuations since it is grounded in reality.It is the basis for a public rankings but we always augment it with a real understanding of peoples perceptions and their effects on demand from our database

87、of market research on over 3000 brands in over 30 markets.DisclaimerBrand Finance has produced this study with an independent and unbiased analysis.The values derived and opinions produced in this study are based only on publicly available information and certain assumptions that Brand Finance used

88、where such data was deficient or unclear.Brand Finance accepts no responsibility and will not be liable in the event that the publicly available information relied upon is subsequently found to be inaccurate.The opinions and financial analysis expressed in the report are not to be construed as provi

89、ding investment or business advice.Brand Finance does not intend the report to be relied upon for any reason and excludes all liability to any body,government or organisation.We review what brands already pay in royalty agreements.This is augmented by an analysis of how brands impact profitability i

90、n the sector versus generic brands.This results in a range of possible royalties that could be charged in the sector for brands (for example a range of 0%to 2%of revenue)The BSI score is applied to the royalty range to arrive at a royalty rate.For example,if the royalty range in a sector is 0-5%and

91、a brand has a BSI score of 80 out of 100,then an appropriate royalty rate for the use of this brand in the given sector will be 4%.We adjust the rate higher or lower for brands by analysing Brand Strength.We analyse brand strength by looking at three core pillars:“Inputs”which are activities support

92、ing the future strength of the brand;“Equity”which are real current perceptions sourced from our market research and other data partners;“Output”which are brand-related performance measures such as market share.Each brand is assigned a Brand Strength Index(BSI)score out of 100,which feeds into the b

93、rand value calculation.Based on the score,each brand is assigned a corresponding Brand Rating up to AAA+in a format similar to a credit rating.We determine brand-specific revenues as a proportion of parent company revenues attributable to the brand in question and forecast those revenues by analysin

94、g historic revenues,equity analyst forecasts,and economic growth rates.We then apply the royalty rate to the forecast revenues to derive brand revenues and apply the relevant valuation assumptions to arrive at a discounted,post-tax present value which equals the brand value.Brand ImpactBrand Impact

96、antitative review of data that reflect the Brand Value Chain of brand-building activities,leading to brand awareness,perceptions and onwards to brand-influenced customer behaviour.To manage the Brand Value Chain process effectively we create and use the“Brand Strength Index”(BSI).This index is essen

99、ing the three pillars(Brand Inputs,Brand Equity and Brand Performance),the attributes included are different depending on the sector.A brand strength index for a luxury apparel brand will differ in structure from an index designed for a telecommunications brand.An index for luxury apparel brand may

100、emphasize the exclusiveness,word of mouth recommendation,and price premium,whereas an index for a telecommunications company may emphasis customer service and ARPU as important metrics.These attributes are weighted according to their perceived importance in driving the following pillar:Brand Investm

101、ent measures in driving Brand Equity;Brand Equity measures for Brand-Related Business Performance measures;and finally the relevance of Brand-Related Business Performance measures for driving business value.Attribute Selection and WeightingBrands ability to influence purchase depends primarily on pe

102、oples perceptions.Therefore,the majority of the Brand Strength Index is derived from Brand Finances proprietary Global Brand Equity Research Monitor research,a quantitative study of a sample of over 100,000 people from the general public on their perceptions of over 4,000 brands in over 25 sectors a

103、nd 37 countries.However,at Brand Finance we also believe that there are other measures that can be used to fill gaps that survey research may not capture.These include total investment levels for example in marketing,R&D,innovation expenditure,that can a better guide to future performance than surve

104、ys.They also include online measures such as ratings by review sites and social media engagement that can give a more granular understanding of marketing effectiveness.Finally they also include real behaviour for example net additions,customer churn and market share,to overcome the tendency for surv

105、eys to incorporate intended behaviour rather than real.Over a period of 3 to 4 months each year,we collect all this data across all the brands in our study in order to accurately measure their comparative strength.Data CollectionIn order to convert raw data in to scores out of 10 that are comparable

106、 between attributes within the scorecard,we then have to benchmark each attribute.We do this by reviewing the distribution of the underlying data and creating a floor and ceiling based on that distribution.Each brand is assigned a Brand Strength Index(BSI)score out of 100,which feeds into the brand

107、value calculation.Based on the score,each brand is assigned a corresponding rating up to AAA+in a format similar to a credit rating.Analysing the three brand strength measures helps inform managers of a brands potential for future success.Benchmarking and Final ScoringBrand Finance Denmark 50 24Glob
