Google Is Now the World's Most Valuable Brand

Search engine giant Google has become the No. 1 brand displacing other giants like Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart. The latest findings have placed Google at the top.

Market research firm Millward Brown put Google ahead of the above formidable brands. The rankings are based on available financial data along with research and interviews with consumers worldwide, Millard Brown said. Google’s jump from the 7^th position last year to the top slot shows the growth, status and its popularity. It is interesting to note that Google uses little public advertising.

Some other factors that are considered in brand recognition this year are corporate responsibility and serving customers in emerging markets like India and Brazil.
