Today's Best Brands?

Ok, so we all know that Apple and Starbucks have great branding and marketing happening for them. But who else do you think has a brand that is succeeding well in today's market?

Who makes your top 10?

when I think of car insurance, I think of Geiko - even though I don't actually use them :} I prefer the little gecko over the cavemen though.

Aflac is also a household name, but I don't care for their ads.

smirnoff... and red bull... love them.. and i'm not just saying that because i love the products.. hahahah honestly!

wasn't bothered about coke until the single colour vectory layouts.
hate mcd's.
love VW stuff... ALWAYS loved their advertising. more so their early stuff... i've got a load of old vw adverts as posters.
guiness branding always sticks in my mind too...

i think i like the simple, no bullsh.t approach.

yeah, excalades are quite popular (I just like to say that word...EXcalade - I know its really escalade, but I can't help myself!) . I tend to think of Target, Fed EX, coca cola, Home Depot, Best Buy...but maybe that's just becuase I see those things every day...

Bacardi. They made it BIG with women with their Bacardi & Diet. And let's face it, how many bars had Mojitos on their menu 5 years ago? Bacardi practically invented them, well at least made them what they are.

I watched someone pump $129 worth of gas into an Escalade the other day.
