Your shouts, please.

Tier 1:
Google (life-changing stuff you’d pay for, free)
Amazon (why buy anywhere else?)
IKEA (kit out your home easily; unique combination of good and cheap design)
WhatsApp (see Google)

Tier 2:
Apple (too expensive)
LG (all the excellent white goods and high-end TVs you’ll ever need, at the right price)

Up and coming:
Various Chinese phone and EV manufacturers

Well I would propbably say there shouldn’t be 2 tiers.

I’d totally agree with google.
Never use amazon, ikea or WhatsApp, don’t own anything branded as LG (but appreciate they do a lot of component manufacturing)

But in fairness is what you’re asking not just the global brand directory?? http://brandirectory.com/league_tables/table/globa...

Best brands how? Recognition? Market cap? Profitability?

That's more like it. I will add Aston Martin, Rolex and Sunseeker.

A rule of thumb for a top brand is that you could put it on a £5 baseball cap and sell the cap for £25.

This would not work with IKEA, Amazon, Google, etc.

Start with all the things our hero Kes and his mates would spend their fowsonds on!

I don’t mean crap that you can sell by adding a logo. I mean brands you consider to be exceptional and which you’re glad exist.

McDonalds
Coca Cola
Apple
Nike
Games Workshop
Nintendo
WWE

Very long list.
