Key to these Brand Values

  • People, particularly customers are the most important part of these brands.
  • They have captured the imagination of large numbers of users and delivered on the emotional promise to them.
  • Technically they have reached preeminent positions, with refined product offering, so that they ‘Own the Space’ for their sector of the market.
  • They all retain ‘Hope Value’ of better financial returns to come.
Health Warning
  • The market place is fast moving.
  • There may be a further technology stock   boom during the next couple of years but I am not betting my pension fund on these companies.
