💎 TREND WATCH:
The Evolution of Brand Value
In 2005, a brand’s worth was measured by its market share.
In 2015, it was digital presence.
But in 2025, brand value has taken a sharper turn — it’s now all about perceived trust, consistency, and emotional resonance.
Whether it’s Apple, Amul, or a solo creator — audiences don’t just want products, they want principles backed by proof.
📊 DATA DIGEST:
The Numbers Behind the Shift
According to Kantar’s BrandZ Global Report 2025:
