Entrepreneurs like Juan Luis Bosch Gutierrez,<\/a> who have been in this business world for a long time, explain that to increase the value of your brand you must be careful and have a lot of perseverance and vision.<\/p>\nDefinition of Brand<\/h2>\n Brand is defined as a marketing-related intangible asset including, but not limited to, names, terms, signs, symbols, logos, and designs, intended to identify goods, services, or entities, creating distinctive images and associations in the minds of stakeholders, thereby generating economic benefits.<\/p>\n
Brand Value<\/h2>\n Brand value refers to the present value of earnings specifically related to brand reputation. Organizations own and control these earnings by owning trademark rights.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
These differences are similar to the way equity analysts provide business valuations that are different to one another. The only way you find out the \u201creal\u201d value is by looking at what people really pay.<\/p>\n
As a result, Brand Finance always incorporates a review of what users of brandsactually 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.<\/p>\n
This is known as the \u201cRoyalty Relief\u201d methodology and is by far the most widely used approach for brand valuations since it is grounded in reality.<\/p>\n
It is the basis for our public rankings but we always augment it with a real understanding of people\u2019s perceptions and their effects on demand\u2014from our database of market research on over 3000 brands in over 30 markets.<\/p>\n
Brand Valuation Methodology<\/h2>\n For our rankings, Brand Finance uses the simplest method possible to help readers understand, gain trust in, and actively use brand valuations.<\/p>\n
Brand Finance calculates the values of brands in its rankings using the Royalty Relief approach \u2014 a brand valuation method compliant with the industry standards set in ISO 10668.<\/p>\n
Our Brand Strength Index assessment, a balanced scorecard of brand-related measures, is also compliant with international standards (ISO 20671) and operates as a predictive tool of future brand value changes and a control panel to help business improving marketing.<\/p>\n
We do this in the following four steps:<\/p>\n
1. Brand Impact<\/h2>\n We review what brands already pay in royalty agreements. This is augmented by an analysis of how brands impact profitability in the sector versus generic brands.<\/p>\n
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 percent of revenue).<\/p>\n
2. Brand Strength<\/h2>\n We adjust the rate higher or lower for brands by analyzing Brand Strength. We analyze brand strength by looking at three core pillars: \u201cInvestment\u201d which are activities supporting the future strength of the brand; \u201cEquity\u201d which are real perceptions sourced from our original market research and other data partners; \u201cPerformance\u201d which are brand-related measures of business results, such as market share.<\/p>\n
Each brand is assigned a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score out of 100, which feeds into the brand 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.<\/p>\n
3. Brand Impact x Brand Strength<\/h2>\n 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 percent and 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 percent.<\/p>\n
4. Brand Value Calculation<\/h2>\n We determine brand-specific revenues as a proportion of parent company revenues attributable to the brand in question and forecast those revenues by analyzing historic revenues, equity analyst forecasts, and economic growth rates.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
