  • Number two was Apple ($148 billion), followed by IBM ($108 billion) and Microsoft ($90 billion). Twitter and LinkedIn entered the Top 100 for the first time in 2014, ranked 71 and 78, respectively.
  • Amazon moved its way into the 10th spot, the first retailer to achieve a top-10 ranking.

North America dominated the Top 100, buoyed in part by slower emerging market economies that reduced the number of brands from this countries from 17 in the 2013 ranking to 14 in 2014.

  • Half the brands in the BrandZ™ Top 100 and two-thirds of the Top 100 total brand value originate in North America.
