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 rides Winter Olympics buzz to pole position in China

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.
