The awards are based on the Company’s proprietary TotalSocial® data, which continuously measures the four most important drivers of brand performance. These are: sentiment (having more positive than negative conversations), brand sharing (the extent to which people are sharing or talking about a brand’s marketing or advertising), volume (a measure of how many conversations mention a brand) and influence (the extent to which an influential audience is talking about a brand). Our technology platform, TotalSocial, and the propriety analytical scoring system that drives it, are the basis for these awards.
#1 MOST LOVED BRAND AWARD:

These are your friends, family and colleagues who frequently give recommendations and maintain large social networks—both online (via social media) and offline (via face-to-face conversations). The brands who earned the top distinction were selected based on the extent to which this influential audience represented a large proportion of those people who talk about and recommend the brands offline and online.
