The agency's annual rankings of global brand values, released this week, showed eight British companies in the top 100, including Marks & Spencer, whose brand value leapt 192%. However, in an analysis of the data conducted exclusively for Marketing, Millward Brown found that Britain's brands are underperforming.
Like-for-like growth in their value was 6.7%, compared with a global average of 10.7%, while French brands grew 18.8%, and German brands 10.6%.
One reason for Britain's slow growth is that its biggest brands are in the retail and finance sectors, both of which are slow-growing.
