APAC Biggest Brand Movers highlights the ten brands that have registered the most statistically significant month-on-month upticks in consumer perception metrics across a selection of Asia-Pacific markets. These rankings identify the brands which have logged the greatest number of improvements across 13 metrics each month – ranging from brand awareness and reputation, to purchase consideration and customer satisfaction. The data is taken from YouGov BrandIndex, a syndicated brand tracker which continuously collects data on thousands of brands around the globe every day.
Anta has claimed the top spot among China’s Biggest Brand Movers in February.
The Chinese sportswear and accessories manufacturer made gains in 12 out of 13 YouGov BrandIndex metrics, across the Media and Communication category (Aided Brand Awareness, Ad Awareness, WOM Exposure, Buzz), Brand Perception category (Impression, Satisfaction, Value, Quality, Recommend, Corporate Reputation) and Purchase Funnel category (Consideration, Purchase Intent).
Anta had served as the official sportwear partner of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which was held from 4–20 February this year and was watched by over 600 million people in China. The brand’s impressive improvement across multiple brand health metrics comes after it signed popular Chinese freestyle skier Eileen Gu as its brand ambassador in January. She later clinched two Olympic gold and one silver medal during February’s games.
Dior was the runner-up, with upticks in Media and Communication metrics (Ad Awareness, WOM Exposure), Brand Perception metrics (Satisfaction, Corporate Reputation) and Purchase Funnel metrics (Consideration, Current Customer).
The LVMH-owned French luxury fashion house tapped rising Chinese consumer interest in winter sports, sparked by the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, to launch a men’s Ski Capsule collection – which includes jackets, pants, helmets, goggles, gloves and boots. Additionally, ahead of Valentine’s Day in February, Dior also launched a new lipstick exclusively on Tmall, a popular e-commerce platform owned by Alibaba Group.
Pechoin took third spot, with the Shanghai-based skincare brand seeing improvements in Media and Communication metrics (Ad Awareness, Buzz), Brand Perception metrics (Satisfaction, Quality) and Purchase Funnel metrics (Consideration).
Foodpanda claimed the top spot among Thailand’s Biggest Brand Movers in February.
The Singapore-headquartered food and grocery delivery platform made gains in eight out of 13 YouGov BrandIndex metrics, across the Media and Communication category (Buzz), Brand Perception category (Impression, Satisfaction, Value, Recommend, Corporate Reputation) and Purchase Funnel category (Purchase Intent, Current Customer).
Just a month earlier, Foodpanda had unveiled a new brand mascot: a pink panda by the name of Pau-Pau, as part of its tenth anniversary brand refresh. Besides developing Pau-Pau’s backstory as a free-spirited champion of environmental sustainability, Foodpanda also rolled out Pau-Pau emojis and stickers in messaging and social media apps, such as LINE and Instagram.
Shabushi was the runner-up, with upticks in Media and Communication metrics (Ad Awareness, WOM Exposure), Brand Perception metrics (Recommendation) and Purchase Funnel metrics (Consideration, Purchase Intent). From late Jan to early February, the Thai-owned Japanese hotpot restaurant chain ran a “Come 4 Pay 3” promotion from late Jan to early February, for customers who downloaded its BevFood app.
