Welcome to the
seventh annual FutureBrand Country Brand Index (CBI), our global study of country brand strength. The 2011-2012 CBI documents perceptions around 113 nations, and is based on more interviews, insights and information than any other study of its kind. In its development, we utilized social media tools to investigate amongst key opinion-formers and influencers, asking them what makes a country’s brand powerful and unique. © All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION WHAT MAKES A
STRONG COUNTRY BRAND? At FutureBrand, we assess the connection with a ripple effect, encouraging others around the world to visit, do business, learn and build lives in a place. strength of a country brand in much the same way as any other brand. We measure awareness, familiarity, preference, consideration, advocacy and active decisions to visit or interact with a place. But the most important factors—the aspects that truly differentiate a country brand—are its associations and Like any brand, a country brand must be consistent across attributes across five key dimensions: Value System, Quality many touchpoints, from advertising and public relations of Life, Good for Business, Heritage and Culture and Tourism. to political representatives, cultural ambassadors, tourists, companies and indigenous products. A strong country brand is more than the sum of its attributes: in total, it must make people’s lives better. From progressive These features, in addition to a strong point of view, role politics to a sense of openness and freedom of speech, a on the world stage and concerted effort to drive progress, country that is geared around its people and their needs will tourism, immigration, exchange and partnership make the always score highly. From this comes a strong emotional difference between nation states and genuine country brands. 3. THE FUTUREBRAND 2011-2012 COUNTRY BRAND INDEX © All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION WHY DOES COUNTRY BRANDING
MATTER? COUNTRIES ARE BRANDS THAT NEED MANAGING Today, the term «brand» isn’t simply a descriptor for consumer goods: it includes products, services, places and experiences, and how they’re marketed to audience groups to create familiarity and favorability. Brand is an asset that represents the sum total of the associations that influence preference—and it must be carefully managed. Just like products or services, countries are known by association, including language, images and media, as well as first-hand experience and peer recommendation. Brands are, in a word, a collection of perceptions. 5. THE FUTUREBRAND 2011-2012 COUNTRY BRAND INDEX © All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION WHY DOES COUNTRY BRANDING
MATTER? By continually measuring the perceptions of a country brand’s nation-building, as well as to create strong differentiation audience, from business professionals to global travelers, amongst neighbors and competitors. Country brands we can begin to understand the impact that news events, consisted of a historical narrative that incorporated social cultural undertakings—and even a country’s own marketing and cultural values wedded to political or religious ideologies. efforts—have on an individual’s decision to choose that nation over another. That can include a decision to invest, In this way, nations were created and positioned in terms that visit, emigrate, work, study, consume that country’s goods or transcended geography or tribalism. This was particularly become interested in its culture. In short, a choice to let one the case in 19th century Europe, where national identities, country play a significant role in our lives and livelihood. flags, anthems, monuments and holidays were consciously constructed in the wake of political revolutions and emerging What’s more, country brands are constantly compared to national independence. their competitors—namely, other countries—and need to be continually assessed in relative terms by their owners. In looking for patterns or evidence of relative strength, a country’s brand leadership—in the form of its citizens, communities, governments and business leaders—can better understand how to leverage its assets for the benefit of everyone involved. It’s through this combined understanding of shifting audience perceptions and competitive positioning that country brands This is true for the United States as well, which constructed can be best managed, driving relevance and differentiation in its own identity—and along with it one of the most significant the face of a rapidly changing world. country brands in the world.

The fact narrative and assets for internal and external audiences to that the European Union places such a high legal emphasis identify and support the nation’s purpose. Although branding on labeling the origin of products and services should is a modern coinage, born from advertising and marketing in underscore the link between a nation’s branding and the the twentieth century, a country’s brand is closely tied to the branding of a nation’s goods. The ability to legally use terms full spectrum of its political, cultural and commercial history. of authenticity around regional origin allows for protection against counterfeiting, false advertising and misleading sales messages. That’s where the business of branding meets the assets of a country’s brand. COUNTRY BRANDING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER As we review our list of countries and their relative strengths for the 2011-2012 CBI, it’s worth keeping in mind that a country’s brand is never fixed. Countries must respond as competitors in a world of scarce resources, differentiating themselves and securing an advantage for themselves and their constituents. Failure to clearly articulate a compelling story can lead to a major disadvantage when a nation is compared to others. Country branding is a very real requirement for 21st century nations. This year’s COUNTRY BRANDS ARE MORE THAN JUST TOURISM developments reinforce how economic, social and political Country branding is a vital element in both domestic and change can influence brand strength year to year, particularly international affairs. The difference between a successful, as social media intensifies and accelerates the distribution of defined and understood brand and a weaker, less images, ideas and associations that shape perception. differentiated one can have a significant impact on a nation’s 7.

INTRODUCTION A WORLD OF
AUDIENCES In the past, country brands were primarily associated with travel and tourism. A country’s reputation was built through tourism communications, advertising and word-of-mouth; its brand was formulated through the products, services and even emigrants originating from within its borders. Reputations were slowly built and carefully constructed, and they remained consistent over the course of generations. Today, the opposite is true. Thanks to the internet and mobile devices, our instantaneous ability to connect with other citizens of the world, with images, news, opinions and rumors means that a country’s image can shift overnight. Our world is at once a geography of borders as well as a network of border-less communities with the means to communicate instantly. There are countless stakeholders influencing, controlling and managing today’s brands. For that reason, a brand’s image needs to be reconfirmed daily and across multiple touchpoints. Because a country, its leaders, companies and people are scrutinized constantly, it’s vital that a country brand be clearly defined, broadly aligned and continually assessed in all the decision-making dimensions measured by FutureBrand’s CBI. In so doing, the stakeholders of a country’s brand can more accurately manage and shape their image. 8. THE FUTUREBRAND 2011-2012 COUNTRY BRAND INDEX © All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION OUR METHODOLOGY
The Country Brand Index has become increasingly rigorous and sophisticated since its inception in 2005, and now includes more research data than ever before, establishing itself as the most authoritative study on country branding in the world. The report draws its data and its insights from several core resources: 350014102 400+ BUSINESS AND LEISURE TRAVELERS PRIMARY RESEARCH EXPERT CONTRIBUTORS IDEAS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATIVE EXERCISE MARKETS IN 16 CITIES QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH.

INTRODUCTION OUR METHODOLOGY
We use FutureBrand’s proprietary Hierarchical Decision This model offers insights that help us assess how well- model (HDM) to determine how key audiences—including developed a brand is as well as key challenges that need residents, investors, tourists and foreign governments—relate to be addressed. Our HDM also allows for a measurement to a country brand, from mere awareness to full advocacy. of a country’s relative performance and progress. In short, the HDM takes seven areas into consideration: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 AWARENESS: FAMILIARITY: ASSOCIATIONS: PREFERENCE: CONSIDERATION: DECISION / VISITATION: ADVOCACY: Do key audiences know How well do people know What qualities come to mind How highly do audiences Is the country considered To what extent do people Do visitors recommend that the country exists? the country and its offerings? when people think of the esteem the country? for a visit? follow through and visit the the country to family, How top-of-mind is it? country?

INTRODUCTION CO-CREATING A GLOBAL
PERSPECTIVE Social technologies have multiplied the speed and reach of opinions about destinations, news events and brands that shape overall country perceptions. For the first time ever this year, we have harnessed social technology to inform our view of the factors influencing country brand strength. Our qualitative research was broadened into a co-creation exercise that extended conversations in 15 countries into a global online forum. In-person focus groups offered the chance to understand expert traveller views on country brand themes in a particular market. However, by inviting the same people to answer questions and develop ideas together online, we were able to co-create a single global perspective on this year’s important issues. Our approach utilized a platform called DiscoveryCast to help manage expert discussions around key questions relating to the factors influencing country brand strength, this year’s rising stars and the events that would have the greatest influence on country brand rankings. We worked with over 40 expert contributors across four continents who developed over 400 ideas in a collaborative exercise. 11. THE FUTUREBRAND 2011-2012 COUNTRY BRAND INDEX © All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION CO-CREATING A GLOBAL
PERSPECTIVE Each expert was able to submit feedback on and develop ideas and Heritage and Culture and reinforce the importance of that have informed many of the insights and qualitative findings a country’s population as its most powerful brand assets. in this year’s CBI. We were particularly keen to understand the Identity—from a tourism logo to a national flag or its colors —is collective view of the most important factors in country brand a critical symbol of any country brand and one of the most strength. This relates to the unchanging elements that are most valuable and instantly recognizable elements of country brand influential in creating perceptions of a place. equity. Interestingly, «economy» and «stability» were also rated as two of the top five factors influencing country brand strength by our experts, perhaps reflecting a stronger than normal preoccupation with the global financial situation and relating closely to the Good for Business and Quality of Life dimensions in our quantitative research. Our experts also developed a list of the events that had the most influence on country brand strength in the last year, which in turn informed some of the main themes in this year’s index. These were led by the downgrading of the United States’ economy—a major shock to the global financial system, particularly in the wake of China’s emergence as the world’s second largest economy, and perhaps a factor in the United States’ continued drop in the rankings from 2009. Other major events—like the Japan nuclear disaster, the Arab Spring, riots and royal weddings in the United Kingdom and Word cloud of the most important The discussions were unprompted, allowing each expert to the death of Osama Bin Laden— were all felt to be powerful factors in country brand strength co-created by our expert contributors. suggest their own ideas in their own words, but a great deal enough to influence country brand perceptions. And this year’s of consistency emerged from the discussions. The top three shifting rankings—particularly for the United Kingdom and factors based on frequency of mention, commenting and rating Japan—demonstrate that being in the news can correlate to were culture, identity and people. Perceptions of culture and changing brand strength, even if the results are sometimes people are an integral part of dimensions like Value System counterintuitive. 12.

INTRODUCTION WHAT’S AT STAKE?
At the heart of everything we’ve And when a government and population respect tradition and culture, they can encourage travel and make it easier learned in the past seven years is the for visitors to interact with and appreciate that country’s important role that education and assets. Finally, when an international audience begins to validate all that a country’s brand has to its credit, investment literacy play in creating a nation of opportunities and commercial transactions are better realized. active, supportive citizens The power of a country brand is directly proportionate to the For example, when a nation’s population can create power of its people, its leadership and its sense of purpose in and maintain institutions of governance that reflect and the global community. In realizing this strength, a country can encourage their cultural values while still protecting the rights create better lives for all of its citizens. and opinions of minority voices, that country experiences significantly more growth and success. With that in mind, we’re pleased to present the top ten country brands for the year 2011. From there, a government that understands how to marshal and optimize a nation’s natural resources while remaining open and entrepreneurial is more likely to set-out on a positive economic course. 13.

TEN THE STRONGEST COUNTRY BRANDS Brand Canada: Why country brand as a platform to build sustainable brand strength across every dimension. From the creation of beautiful b-roll landscape management is important footage to the ubiquitous use of the country’s iconic maple The countries that dominate our top ten perform well year leaf, Canada actively made the most of its assets to support a after year across every area of brand strength. Interestingly, «keep exploring» brand position. Canada continues to be the strongest country brand despite its lack of leading rankings in any one dimension—proving Additionally, a focus on developing specific perceptions in that consistency is more important than specialty focus. tourism marketing has paid off, with increased scores this year in areas like History—not typically a strength for Canada. But Canada’s strength depends on more than just consistency: the nation actively manages its country brand This attention to country brand management will be even more to constantly improve performance. As the United Kingdom important as the country faces its first period of economic prepares to leverage the power of the London 2012 Olympic decline for two years—shrinking 0.4% in the second quarter Games, it would do well to emulate Canada’s treatment of the of 2011—and consumer confidence drops—a change that Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, where the event was used correlates to a slight fall in Canada’s Good for Business score. 15.

THE 2011-2012 TOP
TEN THE STRONGEST COUNTRY BRANDS The United Kingdom leaves the top ten For the first time since the CBI’s founding, the United Kingdom does not appear in the top ten, capping off a two-year downward trend for the country’s brand. This is a symbolic fall for the nation, which has traditionally punched above its weight in brand strength.
