Good brands report
PSFK’s Good Brands 2010 report was published in April.
PSFK says, “Being a genuinely good brand in 2010 takes more than a widely used product and a ubiquitous global presence. Though there is no precise formula, what the ten good brands on our list have in common is a penchant for imagination, innovation, environmental responsibility and social consciousness.
Their products and services don’t just serve a basic need, but instead help as a tool to improve people’s lives. Several companies have stayed strong, maintaining their positions from last year with continued innovation, while others on the list have jumped into prominence through offering creative solutions and ground breaking new business models.
We started our search for the Good Brands of 2010 by looking at the companies we were writing about on PSFK.com over the last six months. We then asked a panel of cross-industry global experts from the Purple List to tell us which of the common brands on PSFK were considered ‘Good’.”
Profiles of each of the ten brands is scored on innovation, responsibility, community and imagination and include a “lessons for business” section.
PSFK identifies 10 key learnings from the report, and the companies identified within:
1. Constant innovation and experimentation
2. Re-imagine the world
3. Create the game you want to play
4. Live your brand & teach others about it
5. Build value By sharing Knowledge
