Luxury industry brand index

Please note: This is not the most recent brand index. If you’re right where you want to be, read on. If you’re looking for the latest data, click here for our most recent brand indexes. 

The Attest brand index is a platform agnostic measure of a brand’s total brand equity in the luxury sector, as determined by real consumers.

What do we mean by ‘platform agnostic’? We mean the results are not influenced by any particular method of obtaining them, such as looking only at social media mentions, or brand search terms. This reduces bias and provides a much more accurate view of a brand’s strength in any given category.

Learn more about why we believe this is the best methodology for brand intelligence.

To determine the luxury brand index, we look at three things.

1. Percentage of unprompted brand recall within a named category e.g. ‘alcohol’ ‘snacks’ or ‘entertainment’

2. How likely a person is to purchase your particular brand (purchase intent)

3. How likely a person is to recommend your brand (Net Promoter Score)

Our data is gathered every quarter from an online survey sent to a nationally representative panel of 1,000 UK consumers aged 18-65.

Key findings

153 different brands were named.

A brand had to have 1% of unprompted brand recall to be in the Top 16 brands, and 1.2% to be in the Top 10.

In the top brands mapped in the luxury brand index, the average brand strength score is 66. Apple has the strongest at 156, while Prada has the weakest at -20.

The overall luxury industry Net Promoter Score is a modest 26.4%, rising very marginally to 28.4% for the Top 16 brands. Though the median score is 73.
