Google Pixel has been in the news lately over the impending release of the Google Pixel 6a in late July, which was officially announced by the company in the second week of May. Heavy ad spend and rumours around the flagship Pixel 7 may have also helped the brand improve its scores. It witnesses gains across all media metrics (Awareness, Ad Awareness, WOM Exposure, Buzz), five out of six brand perception metrics (Impression, Value, Reputation, Recommend, Quality) as well as the purchase funnel metric – Consideration.
Google’s phone operating system Android also features in this month’s list with improvements in Reputation, Satisfaction, Recommend, Quality, Consideration and Current Customer. On the same note, Android giant Samsung also appears with improvements in seven metrics. Galaxy, Samsung’s mobile computing brand, under which the tech giant releases all its smartphones, tablets and smartwatches made gains in all six brand perception metrics.
UK appliances manufacturer Worcester Bosch made gains in nine metrics, including each of the brand perception ones – Impression, Value, Reputation, Satisfaction, Recommend and Quality. The company turns 60 this year and, to celebrate, is running a special campaign to reward consumers, installers, communities, and employees, who have helped spread warmth during the challenging times of the pandemic.
P&O Ferries made upticks in nine metrics, including the purchase funnel ones of Consideration and Current Customer, which might indicate that the company has started seeing a revival in business following a slump amid the crisis sparked by its sudden sacking of 800 employees earlier in the year.
Booking.com gained in each media metric (Awareness, Ad Awareness, WOM Exposure, Buzz) as well as all purchase funnel metrics (Consideration, Purchase Intent and Current Customer), which indicates that the brand is capitalising on demand for summer travel.
Streaming media giants Netflix and Spotify made improvements in six metrics apiece. For Netflix, whose launch of the fourth season of Stranger Things has largely been received positively, improvements came in Impression, Value, Satisfaction, Recommend, Ad Awareness and Buzz.
The list is rounded off by Mastercard’s debit card brand – Maestro – which sees improvements in six metrics spread across the board.
