Marketing success histories

In 1988, Rank Hovis McDougal (RHM) was under threat of a hostile takeover. Their management believed that the market was undervaluing a number of their assets, especially their brand assets. They therefore hired Interbrand to value their stable of brands. Interbrand's consultants developed a rough discounted earnings methodology to put a net present value on the financial benefit of owning the brand.

In 2008, Thomson completed its acquisition of Reuters with the roll-out of its new name, logo and identity system, which was created by Interbrand. They also hired Interbrand to develop strategy ensuring that its new brand expresses its business goals.[3]

Methodology

Interbrand has refined its processing of contracts into a five-step discounted Economic Value Added methodology. Interbrand releases an annual ranking of the best global brands by value in cooperation with BusinessWeek magazine.[4][5]
