Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) placed second and third in the study. Three technology brands are featured in the top 10, up from two in 2021. Also, three media & entertainment brands, Disney, YouTube, and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) are in the top 10. Notably, Netflix now ranks eighth, up from 14th place last year. Trader Joe’s represents the only retail brand, and Sega is the only game brand among the top 10. Sony (NYSE:SONY), Mercedes-Benz, and Android were the remaining brands in the top 10. For the first time, the crypto and gaming industries are included in the study, with Cardano ranking 26th and Bitcoin 30th. Notably, crypto outperformed traditional financial services brands.

This new methodology gives us broader and more real-time insights. We are now able to assess more authentic and vivid sentiment from consumers.”
He continued, “Media and entertainment brands continue to thrive, likely boosted by the need of providing escape, comfort, and instant gratification. Disney’s rise to the top displays the resilience of the media and entertainment industry in unprecedented times. The brand has demonstrated its ability to continue to resonate with consumers, and form deep intimate connections and relationships, even in a fragmented media landscape.”
