Survey Says: YouGov Rates Brand Buzz

Posted by Shirley Brady on July 8, 2011 03:00 PM

YouGov BrandIndex’s Buzz score is out with its rankings of brands for the first half of the year.

The survey asked consumers to rate brands within categories, posting the question: "If you've heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?"

In addition to ratings brands that scored the biggest buzz from January to June 2011, YouGov listed the brands that made the biggest improvements in the period vs. their standing in the January-June period of 2010.
