The 2010 Top Digital Brands survey, highlights some uncomfortable facts for Asia’s online marketers. The results of the TNS study show that online techniques are some of the least trusted forms of marketing; but they also suggest ways that a brand can build a highly credible presence on the internet.
In terms of awareness, the survey shows little change on last year, with multinational brands still dominating. Nokia, for example, is again consistently near the top of each country’s awareness table. But there are signs that local brands are raising their game online. In Thailand, where no local brand made the top 10 in last year’s survey, three Thai telcos appear in this year’s list. Malaysia’s AirAsia, meanwhile, gets the highest single-market awareness score of any brand in the survey. The exception appears to be China, where multinationals put in a stronger showing this year than they did in 2009.
