BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Brands 2020

What’s up next for brands in the world’s largest economy? It may be a cliché, but uncertainty is the only certainty in the US today. While the country used to be a powerful force for stability in the world, it has increasingly become a source
of volatility. Policy can be made by tweet, a constitutional crisis can erupt overnight, and long-held conventions are trampled on a daily basis. That may make for interesting times, but not necessarily the right kind of interesting.

What is certain is that barring a major financial shock, top US brands will likely continue to grow in value. Even if economic headwinds mount, their strong scores for Meaningful Difference indicate that they will weather the storm better than most and emerge faster from any downturn. Because in the United States, branding is not just a job. It’s the country sport.
