And what is the ranking of Interbrand 2015?
As we already told you a year ago (see Interbrand 2014), the rating assigned by Interbrand, which determines the position of each brand in the ranking, is based on the financial strength of their products, the competitiveness of the brand in your business and the role played by their products in the purchase decision of the customers.
requirements of Interbrand is that at least 30% of its profits from abroad (that is to say, that is a international brand); have a significant presence as a minimum in Europe, north America and Asia, enjoy a degree of transparency and public availability of their financial reports; and the expectation of a positive balance in their accounts, at least in the long term.
