Relentlessly Relevant
#ProphetBRI
Relentlessly Relevant brands consistently inspire
us and move us to action. They make smart, bold
moves that amaze customers, push competitors out
of consideration, and – at times – define entirely
new categories and markets. And they do it while
remaining unwaveringly authentic to who they are.

A summary of our POV on this
…but we are in the business of driving GROWTH, of helping companies GROW BETTER – so it’s important that we demonstrate that Relevance is a key ingredient / component part of growth. As those of you close to GA will be well aware, we took a look at our first-year’s index, and looked at the relationship between companies’ performance on our relevance index and their 10-year growth. With the r-sq of 0.5 we are suggesting that growth is explained in no small part by a brand’s ability to succeed on the drivers of relevance that we’ve identified thru our 4 dimensions, our 16 attributes. We also found that companies in the top 50 relevant brands outpace the total S&P index by 6% on revenues and 12% on earnings, so we have an opportunity to really link this to growth vs. just talking about brand behaviors. We’ll continue to refine this look over time…
Our clients often ask for our perspective on the value of the existing brand rankings.And we’ve always said the same thing: They provide solid objective benchmarks, but often leave marketers wondering what they can learn and apply from the “top” brands.
“Active” has different definition by category. Time basis.
Remember that we built this from the region up. We didn’t say, let’s do the 100 Global Brands, and fill in the rest regionally. We built this to drive relevance at the country level for Prophet, first and foremost, and we let the in-country teams partner with country leadership to say, what’s the right mix of Global/Regional/Local brands to include. Generally it’s about 50%, global brands by market and then the balance is regional/global
