The biggest UK brands have recovered from impact of pandemic, according to Kantar

UK advertisers have shaken off the economic impact of the pandemic, according to new brand value data from Kantar. 

Its BrandZ Most Valuable UK Brands 2021 ranking estimates that the top 75 British brands are growing faster in value than the FTSE 100. 

What has the research found? 

  • Kantar estimates the approximate collective value of the UK’s 75 biggest brands, based on surveys of 150,000 UK consumers, to have reached $278.8bn. 

  • In 2021, Kantar estimated that the five most valuable brands in Britain were Vodafone, HSBC, Shell, Tesco and Lipton. Startup brands such as Revolut and Deliveroo have stolen a march on competitors, however, with their brand values jumping 41% and 58% in the last year respectively. 

  • Royal Mail, Ocado and Asos were three of the fastest-growing brands in the last year, reflecting better consumer awareness and demand for delivery specalists during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the value of Just Eat’s brand was reckoned to be $6.6bn. 

  • Dom Boyd, senior director, offer and qualitative, Kantar Insights UK, said: “Social restrictions last year gave a boost to a broad range of brands thst prioritize convenience, digital services and at-home comfort, from loungewear providers to online banks and delivery experts. The next test will be for these high-achieving brands to sustain their performance as people socialize more again and return to work. They have got to present a clear and compelling offer that reflects the new and different ways people are living their lives.” 

What does the research tell us? 

  • Boyd suggests that, if British brands are to compete in a globalized economy, they must cease relying on legacy names and focus on ‘innovation’. He said: “Meaningful innovation doesn’t just mean rolling out new products. It could be taking a different approach to how you position your brand, like Brewdog and Innocent. As well as offering intrinsically high-quality products, their marketing is designed to instill a feel-good factor in buyers and a sense of pride – a clear point of distinction.

  • “Strong brands aren’t built in a day. Bakery chain Greggs is a prime example of that and it has catapulted into this year’s ranking at number 71, despite its stores being closed for many months during Covid-19 lockdowns. The fact that it has spent so long developing popular new products, and marketing them creatively, helped it to weather the storm of the pandemic effectively. Its investment in marketing and brand-building, and its willingness to be bold and to surprise people – as with the launch of its now iconic vegan range – have paid dividends.”

What is a Local Citation? Local SEO

In simple SEO terms, a local citation refers to any mention of your company online. This could be in a business directory, or on an industry-specific site, a blog or any other local website. Although local citations can help you rank in local search results, they are no longer a major ranking factor . However, they are still worth considering in order to promote your business. Common citations you are likely to already know of include listings on business directory websites such as Yell or Thomson Local . A complete citation should include the name, address and phone number of your business. Local citations do not always include a link to your site although they are more valuable if they do. What do they do? Citations help rank your Google Local Pack listing (this was formerly called Google+ Local map) by providing Google with credible sources of information about your business. Citations tell Google that your business exists, is legitimate and that what you say about it is accur...

The beginner’s guide to semantic search: Examples and tools

Ever since Google’s Hummingbird, the term “semantic search” has been thrown around a lot. Yet, the concept is often misunderstood. What is semantic search and how it helps SEO efforts? When people speak to each other, they understand more than just words. They understand the context, non-verbal cues  (facial expressions, nuances of the voice, etc.) and so much more. It comes naturally, so we don’t really appreciate how difficult it is to explain what is being communicated without the help of all “beyond-words” signals. Factors that make the lives of both Google and SEO so difficult Google is trying (and often struggling) to understand what it is that their users want (without actually seeing or hearing them) SEOs are trying to reverse-engineer what it is that Google managed to understand from their users’ queries and how to build pages that meet those mysterious criteria. As Google’s algorithm is getting more mature, it is becoming even more difficult to decode what...

How to turn your customer feedback into a driving force for your product

30-second summary: Customer reviews are a powerful tool that helps businesses understand what they are doing right and where there’s room for improvement. To efficiently collect client reviews, use multiple channels to encourage users to share their feedback both internally and on third-party platforms. Negative customer feedback is especially precious as, if handled properly, it helps businesses grow and offer better service. Social media can help you build a positive brand image, you just need to engage with people mentioning your brand and start building relationships with influential figures in your field. Businesses tend to think that it’s better to get no reviews than to get bad ones. We at SE Ranking, have an opposing view – for us, customer feedback is always a blessing, be it positive or negative. We have developed a system of collecting, processing, and responding to user reviews that is beneficial both for us and our customers. Over the years, we’ve built an engage...
