Value-based approach to brand management

Each year Brand Finance values over 5,000 of the world’s biggest brands. The most valuable and strongest South African brands have been published in the Brand Finance South Africa report annually since 2013. 

South Africa’s top 100 brands showcase resolve and resilience and should be celebrated. As a nation with enormously strong potential, but a complex past, it is increasingly important that leading brands are recognised as the nation’s ambassadors for their enduring contributions to the wider African economy. 

In conjunction with Brand Finance, Brand South Africa and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, join us as we honour South Africa’s 100 most valuable and strongest brands and their achievements. 

The panel discussion, including representatives from SA’s top performing brands, will highlight main movements and trends of the top 100 most valuable brands for 2023.
