The decline is only apparent
The decrease in overall values compared to 2022 actually shows the continuation of the long-term growth trend of brands, which began after the global financial crisis in 2008 and continued until the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 – The announcement was quoted by Martin Guerreria, President of Kantar BrandZ.
He added that brands that continually invest in building strong relationships with consumers are in a much better position in today’s rapidly changing environment.
