How is it calculated? The interbrand method
Interbrand's methodology, the first to obtain an ISO certification, aims to turn the intangible into the tangible. To achieve this, 3 fundamental aspects are analyzed:
- El Financial results of the brand's products and services.
- El Brand Paper in the purchase decision excluding other external aspects such as price.
- La Brand Strength that analyzes its strength against the competition and is calculated through 10 factors: Relevance, Authenticity, Differentiation, Consistency, Presence, Understanding, Clarity, Commitment, Responsiveness and Protection.
It is not a scientific method and therefore it is subjective. However, we like to look at this methodology to highlight the importance of taking care of the most important asset of our company from a strategic point of view.
