It has been a tough year, but the brands topping the 2009 BusinessWeek/Interbrand list of Best Global Brands have managed to weather the storm admirably. Here, find out more about the strategies of all 100 brands on the list, from Campbell's, slipping in at No. 100, to this year's No. 1, Coca-Cola.

    No. 100: Campbell's

    The 140-year-old company has found success by pitching its soups as cheap, nutritious meals. It aims to expand its offerings in Russia next year.

    No. 99: Polo Ralph Lauren

    Sales have slumped, but an elegant new Web site and increasing emphasis on reaching younger consumers have helped the apparel maker beat expectations.

    No. 98: Burberry

    Like many luxury brands, it is looking for new customers in emerging markets, including Bahrain. Burberry also opened a new headquarters in New York City.

    No. 97: Puma

    The sneaker maker is accelerating a push into fashion by, for example, joining with British designer Alexander McQueen in an attempt to compete with Adidas.

    No. 96: Lexus

    The recession and stiff competition from European rivals hurt Lexus, which is hoping its emphasis on hybrid models will differentiate it from the pack.

    No. 95: Adobe

    Designers of ads and Web sites swear by its software, which includes Flash and Photoshop. But tough times have hurt sales of Adobe's latest products.

    No. 94: Visa

    The company is poised to capitalize on a growing global shift from high-cost credit cards to debit cards. Visa already dominates the U.S. debit-card market.

    No. 93: Burger King

    Cheeky ads and the Whopper Bar, which offers customized burgers, bolstered BK's appeal. To maintain momentum next year, its ad budget will rise 25%.

    No. 92: Shell

    Its reputation restored after a scandal over misrepresenting oil reserves, the company is cutting layers of management to match lower oil prices and profits.

    No. 91: Lancome

    Thanks to such innovations as a "vibrating power mascara," plus a handful of celebrity endorsements, the cosmetics giant has regained some of its luster.

    No. 90: Starbucks

    Hit by the recession and facing competition from McDonald's, the coffee chain is making its food healthier, lowering some prices, and introducing, yes, instant coffee.

    No. 89: Armani

    Despite offering fashion at various price points, Armani has so far avoided hurting its brand. Now it is developing a chain of luxury hotels and resorts.

    No. 88: Ferrari

    Ferrari sales typically have held up in good times and bad. This recession is no exception, prompting the carmaker to open new stores and launch new models.

    No. 87: Prada

    Armed with fresh capital, the only fashion label with a movie named after it is opening stores around the globe.

    No. 86: Nivea

    Sales fell in the U.S. and Europe as consumers switched to generic skin-care products. Nivea is using its brand strength to win loyalty in emerging markets.

    No. 85: Duracell

    Beset by private labels, new ads invoke a heritage of safety, trust, and performance. Duracell is also innovating, including a battery charger that works in a car.

    No. 84: Smirnoff

    Tony beverages suffered as consumers cut back on boozing, but Smirnoff held its own with cheaper libations and premade cocktails.

    No. 83: BP

    The oil giant has brought new projects online, mollified Russian partners, and focused green energy efforts on a few businesses such as wind power in the U.S.

    No. 82: Moet & Chandon

    Consumers switching to cheaper champagne and sparkling wines have hurt. With fewer marketing dollars, the brand is doing things like film festival sponsorship.

    No. 81: Allianz

    The insurer preserved a reputation for financial solidity by avoiding the worst of the crisis. Allianz is poised to grow as it moves into markets like India and China.

    No. 80: Johnson & Johnson

    J&J has long been perceived as comforting and trustworthy-ideal positioning for hard times. Its sponsorship of the 2008 Olympics boosted its global visibility.

    No. 79: Pizza Hut

    Sluggish sales in the U.S. have prompted the pizza chain to turn to China and India for growth as it expands its menu with new dishes like pasta and wings.

    No. 78: Gap

    Sales fell because Gap failed to lure enough shoppers to its low-priced apparel. Featuring its four divisions on one Web site also could confuse consumers.

    No. 77: Cartier

    Cartier's loyal high-end customers, particularly those living in China and the Middle East, have softened somewhat a consumer pullback elsewhere.

    No. 76: Tiffany & Co.

    A strong dollar and weak economy slammed U.S. sales. But Tiffany continues to open stores, and a $93,000 diamond-encrusted cell phone attests to the brand's ambition.

    No. 75: Panasonic

    Its TV and digital camera units are struggling. Acquiring Sanyo Electric gives Panasonic more green products, from solar panels to batteries for electric cars.

    No. 74: Porsche

    A takeover struggle with VW hurt Porsche's image, and sales plunged amid the downturn. But the company still enjoys a reputation for fast, sexy, reliable cars.

    No. 73: Harley-Davidson

    A hog is the ultimate discretionary buy, not ideal in these times. And as boomers age, Gen Y isn't picking up the slack. Harley is pinning its hopes on Asia.

    No. 72: UBS

    UBS brought in a new CEO to clean house but is still struggling with the legacy of huge credit-crunch losses and revelations it helped U.S. clients evade taxes.

    No. 71: Kleenex

    It's doing well overseas, but private labels spell trouble at home. The brand is fighting back with technology; one example is Kleenex Facial Tissue with Lotion.

    No. 70: Hermes

    Leather goods are holding up relatively well in the recession, especially in Asia where new stores are opening, helping the fashion house boost sales this year.

    No. 69: Hyundai

    Encouraged by a weak won and the improving quality of its cars, Hyundai poured money into marketing and boosted global market share to a record 5%.

    No. 68: Rolex

    Fancy watches aren't selling like they used to. But to maintain brand integrity over the long haul, Rolex has discouraged its dealers from lowering prices.

    No. 67: Avon

    Amid a tough global economy and battle for sales, Avon has been expanding its direct-sales army-often by recruiting people laid off from other industries.

    No. 66: Caterpillar

    Construction may be quiet in the U.S., but in building sites, mine pits, and farm fields in China and India, Caterpillar's big yellow machines are multiplying fast.

    No. 65: Audi

    It has suffered less than other luxury car brands, thanks to its foothold in China and lower exposure to the U.S. market. Sharing parts with VW helped Audi's margins.

    No. 64: Yahoo!

    After fending off Microsoft's advances, Yahoo cut a search deal with the software giant. It was needed but showed the limits of Yahoo's tech prowess.

    No. 63: BlackBerry

    No brand has a bigger global presence in smartphones than BlackBerry. It certainly doesn't hurt that the U.S. President wears one on his belt.

    No. 62: Adidas

    Sales are declining, but thanks to strength in soccer balls, shoes, and apparel, Adidas will likely rebound in 2010 as the World Cup in South Africa approaches.

    No. 61: KFC

    The launch of its grilled chicken meal was a PR mess due to a coupon shortage, but the new, healthier product helped turn around KFC's declining U.S. sales.

    No. 60: Danone

    The world leader in fresh dairy products looks poised for increased global reach after raising $4.3 billion-its first capital increase in 22 years.

    No. 59: Chanel

    Sales of its perfumes and apparel have suffered in the downturn, but the legendary Paris fashion house says it expects to eke out sales growth in '09.

    No. 58: Nestle

    With a nearly $2 billion R&D budget, Nestlé has moved into healthier fare-from nutritionally enriched baby food to probiotics that protect the skin from the sun.

    No. 57: Morgan Stanley

    While trading operations have revived earnings, the brokerage business remains under siege. The firm won't regain its footing until the economy rebounds.

    No. 56: Xerox

    Amid a dismal year for office equipment, Xerox forged ahead with new eco-friendly technologies and continued its move beyond hardware into services.

    No. 55: Volkswagen

    With its lineup of fuel-efficient cars and strong positions in China and Brazil, VW has held up better than the industry as a whole. It has work to do in the U.S.

    No. 54: MTV

    Pinched by sliding ratings among young adults and a drop in advertising, MTV is revamping its programming, including more animation and documentary series.

    No. 53: AXA

    The insurer is trying to project stability （new slogan: Profits have slumped but not as much as some analysts expected

    No. 52: Colgate

    Despite the global slowdown, Colgate's oral, personal, and home-care categories grew robustly this year, while the brand gained share at home and abroad.

    No. 51: Wrigley

    The maker of gums like Orbit and Extra is getting traction by pushing the health benefits of chewing its brands.

    No. 50: Zara

    Zara is benefiting from a strong appetite for fashionable but affordable clothing. It spends relatively little on advertising, relying on word of mouth to drive sales.

    No. 49: Ford

    It deftly separated its brand from the troubles of its Detroit siblings. But as Ford rolls out a risky "one model for all markets" strategy, it faces a newly minted GM.

    No. 48: Heinz

    The ketchup king now derives more than 60% of its sales overseas and plans to boost marketing spending to fend off the threat from private-label products.

    No. 47: Siemens

    A bribery scandal hurt, but the electronics maker has moved on and aims to exploit its engineering prowess in green energy and mass transportation.

    No. 46: eBay

    Once the symbol of yard-sale-style online auctions, the Web site is increasingly selling new products from wholesalers and liquidators. GM is even selling cars.

    No. 45: Accenture

    The firm launched an ad campaign after the crash positioning itself as "the partner of choice" in uncertain times. That didn't stop corporations from cutting consultants.

    No. 44: L'Oreal

    The world's leading cosmetics and mass-market beauty brand continues to reinforce its sales in emerging markets, particularly Brazil, India, China, and Poland.

    No. 43: Amazon

    The e-tail titan prospered by continuing to offer low prices and superb customer service in hard times. It risks losing focus by expanding into e-books and apparel.

    No. 42: Philips

    The conglomerate has continued a transition from low-margin electronics maker to a leading player in health care, lighting, and high-end consumer gadgets.

    No. 41: Gucci

    The storied luxury goods maker has held up better than many rivals, thanks in part to an aggressive push in emerging markets, especially brand-obsessed China.

    No. 40: Thomson Reuters

    Since the merger, Thomson's strength in less cyclical areas such as legal information has helped balance Reuters' heavy dependence on financial services.

    No. 39: Nintendo

    Its Wii and portable DS gaming consoles still outsell rivals'. But the company isn't recession-proof: Annual profits could fall for the first time in four years.

    No. 38: Goldman Sachs

    It proved that when the chips are down in finance, those that lose the least become the new winners. Now, Goldman is under fire over its outsize profits.

    No. 37: JPMorgan

    It is capitalizing on its position as one of the strongest financial institutions. The acquisition of Washington Mutual eventually should give JP broader reach in the U.S.

    No. 36: Citi

    Mismanagement and bad bets on risk at home have sullied Citi's reputation around the world, though its international business remains profitable.

    No. 35: Dell

    It is continuing its overhaul by moving aggressively into retail and sharpening its design chops, but Dell needs to cut costs if it is to compete with HP and others.

    No. 34: Kellogg's

    Easing commodity costs and higher prices boosted the cereal maker's profits, while new products like Special K Crackers and Jumbo Rice Krispies kept private-label rivals at bay.

    No. 33: Canon

    Corporate cutbacks hurt its office machine and chipmaking businesses. To rev up sales, Canon is preparing new products with more network-friendly features.

    No. 32: HSBC

    The worldwide credit crisis slammed its U.S. retail businesses. The world's second-largest bank is now trying to extricate itself from those bad bets.

    No. 31: UPS

    The global downturn hit the shipping giant hard. UPS has upped its marketing budget to $200 million and is building a new hub in China.

    No. 30: Budweiser

    Squeezed at home by premium brews on one side and discount ones on the other, the beer maker is growing strongly in emerging markets like Vietnam.

    No. 29: Sony

    It has lost billions on TVs and game consoles. But Sony's software is improving: The latest e-book Reader allows users to tap Google Books and local libraries.

    No. 28: Ikea

    The home goods giant is flourishing as recession-scarred consumers continue to snap up its stylish-yet-affordable designs, offsetting stumbles in Russia.

    No. 27: SAP

    It remains the leader in providing software to automate HR and other internal corporate functions. But SAP's new line of Web-based software has disappointed.

    No. 26: Nike

    Battling to control costs and keep rivals at bay, Nike continued amid the recession to spend money on innovation, including a line of eco-friendly sports gear.

    No. 25: Nescafe

    Nestlé's flagship is playing to consumers' new aversion to pricey designer coffee. It also is catering to the health-conscious with new drinks.

    No. 24: Oracle

    Amid shrinking demand for corporate software, Oracle has stepped up face-to-face meetings-dinners, seminars-between its executives and customers.

    No. 23: Pepsi

    It got a brand facelift with a new logo and sleeker packaging, but Pepsi was not immune to the tough climate for carbonated beverages, particularly in the U.S.

    No. 22: American Express

    Hurt by accounts gone bad, the aspirational card company is bolstering loyalty programs and reviewing its card portfolio to get rid of riskier account holders.

    No. 21: H&M

    As many retailers suffer from the global recession, H&M has been expanding and luring value-conscious consumers with its affordable-yet-stylish apparel.

    No. 20: Apple

    Mac sales have slowed, but Apple continues to prosper thanks to the iPhone, now in its third generation, and an app store that rivals are rushing to copy.

    No. 19: Samsung

    It has overtaken Sony as the top TV brand and emerged as the only credible challenger to Nokia in mobile phones. To expand its appeal, Samsung is opening an app store.

    No. 18: Honda

    Despite slumping global sales, Honda's lineup of gas sippers and a profitable motorbike business have helped the automaker navigate the recession.

    No. 17: Marlboro

    As marketing restrictions tighten at home, the cigarette giant continues to push hard in emerging markets from Asia to Russia and win over millions of smokers.

    No. 16: Louis Vuitton

    The world's preeminent luxury brand has enjoyed a sales rebound in Europe this year, while continuing to tap new wealth in Asia and the Middle East.

    No. 15: BMW

    It has demonstrated that buyers will pay a premium for a chic, sporty compact. BMW is also benefiting from an early investment in more efficient engines.

    No. 14: Cisco

    The battle to rebrand itself as more than a maker of Web plumbing continues. By acquiring the Flip video camera, Cisco aims to be more consumer-focused.

    No. 13: Gillette

    Brisk-selling high-end razors have boosted sales. But to extend its reach to more buyers, Gillette will have to innovate at the lower end of the market, too.

    No. 12: Mercedes-Benz

    Although Mercedes' sales have plunged, the engineering icon has maintained its premium image with new fuel-efficient models. It needs to add small cars to the lineup.

    No. 11: Hewlett-Packard

    HP extended its lead over Dell and weathered the economic downturn better than most tech companies, thanks to its acquisition of services provider EDS.

    No. 10: Disney

    Falling attendance at its parks and sliding DVD sales are hurting. But the Mouse House continues to invest in its future, including buying Marvel for $4 billion.

    No. 9: Intel

    Intel paid a $1.45 billion antitrust fine in Europe, but that hasn't slowed the chipmaker's push into new markets, including smartphones and home electronics.

    No. 8: Toyota

    The automaker lost money in 2008 and likely will again in '09. But deep pockets and newly focused management mean this titan should revive when the economy does.

    No. 7: Google

    Its new free services are pushing it beyond search. But with trustbusters on the prowl, Google faces a challenge in maintaining a cuddly brand image.

    No. 6: McDonald's

    The downturn heightened the appeal of McDonald's low-priced fare, particularly in Britain and France, while new McCafé coffee drinks have perked up sales.

    No. 5: Nokia

    Nokia continues to lag in smartphones, but its reputation for robust construction, ease of use, and low-key style has helped it dominate mass-market handsets.

    No. 4: General Electric

    GE painted itself green with its "ecomagination" crusade. Now it aims to color itself healthy by pushing health-care solutions in underserved markets.

    No. 3: Microsoft

    For the first time, Microsoft's sales slipped. Yet it also began forcefully taking on its rivals, launching the Bing search engine and advertising hard against Apple.

    No. 2: IBM

    IBM has strived to make itself more broadly relevant by focusing on clean air and water, more efficient health care, and mass transportation.

    No. 1: Coca-Cola

    In a hard year for fizzy drink makers, Coke gained luster. Credit the über-successful Coke Zero, a no-cal beverage with a more macho image than Diet Coke.

    這是艱難的一年，但是所有在2009年BusinessWeek/Interbrand最佳品牌榜單中的上榜品牌都成功地經受了暴風雨的洗禮。在這兒，我們發掘列表中所有100個品牌的發展戰略，從排名100的Campbell到名列榜首的可口可樂。

    No. 100:金寶湯（Campbell's）

    這個140年老店的成功之處在于把湯做成了價格低廉、富有營養的正餐。明年它計劃在俄羅斯開拓業務。

    No. 99:拉夫。勞倫馬球（Polo Ralph Lauren）

    盡管銷售額在下降，但是煥然一新的網站和對年輕消費者的日益重視使得這家服飾制造商依然好于預期。

    No. 98:巴寶麗（Burberry）

    像許多奢侈品牌一樣，它正在新興市場發展新的客戶，包括巴林。巴寶麗還在紐約建立了一個新的總部。

    No. 97:彪馬（Puma）

    這家運動鞋制造商正在采取新的手段加速追趕潮流，比如和英國設計師Alexander McQueen共同設計并與Adidas開展競爭。

    No. 96:雷克薩斯（Leuxs）

    工業衰退以及和歐洲競爭者的血拼對雷克薩斯造成了傷害。目前它正寄希望于混合款式，以期能夠改變現狀。

    No. 95:Adobe

    廣告和web頁面設計師們隨身攜帶它的軟件，包括Flash和Photoshop.但是這糟糕的時代對Adobe最新產品的銷售造成了打擊。

    No. 94:維薩（Visa）

    這家公司正調整姿態，以適應日益增長的從高成本信用卡轉變為借記卡的全球趨勢并從中獲利。維薩已經壟斷了美國的借記卡市場。

    No. 93:漢堡王（Burger King）

    大膽的廣告和和大號薯條，提供定制漢堡，響應來自BK網站的呼吁。為了保持明年的前進動力，它的廣告預算上升了25%.

    No. 92:殼牌（Shell）

    在石油儲備謊報丑聞后受損的名譽已經得到了恢復。公司正在削減管理層以應對低油價和低收益。

    No. 91:蘭蔻（Lancome）

    多虧了最近的新產品比如"vibrating power睫毛膏"和名人推廣，這家化妝品巨人重拾往日光彩。

    No. 90:星巴克（Starbucks）

    在遭受經濟衰退和麥當勞競爭的雙重打擊下，這家咖啡連鎖店正在提升食品的健康度，降低售價，并引入速溶咖啡。

    No. 89:阿瑪尼（Armani）

    在不同的價位推廣時尚的做法目前還沒有對其品牌造成損害。現在它正開發連鎖奢侈酒店和娛樂場。

    No. 88:法拉利（Ferrari）

    法拉利的銷售量基本上旱澇保收，這次危機也不例外。目前正在推進建立新的銷售門店和開發新款。

    No. 87:普拉達（Prada）

    隨著新鮮血液的注入，這唯一一家有電影據之命名的時尚品牌正在全世界廣開分店。

    No. 86:妮維雅（Nivea）

    隨著消費者轉向通用護膚品，它在美國和歐洲的銷量開始下滑。妮維雅正利用它的品牌號召力在新興市場贏得忠實用戶。

    No. 85:金霸王（Duracell）

    受困于自有品牌，新的廣告突出了安全、可信以及高性能的傳統。金霸王正在謀求革新，比如開發車載電池充電器。

    No. 84:皇冠伏特加（Smirnoff）

    當消費者們不再豪飲時，Tony飲料遭了難，但是皇冠伏特加卻憑借低廉的酒價和預調雞尾酒保持了自己的業績。

    No. 83:英國石油（BP）

    這個石油巨人帶來了新的開發項目，安撫了俄國合作伙伴，并關注少數行業中的綠色能源，比如美國的風能。

    No. 82:酩悅香檳（Moet & Chandon）

    消費者們將注意力轉移到廉價香檳，汽酒銷售遭到打擊。這個品牌正以較少的市場營銷資金進行電影節贊助商之類的事。

    No. 81:安聯（Allianz）

    這家保險公司躲過了危機中最糟糕的時刻，維持了其金融可靠性的良好聲譽。安聯通過將業務拓展到印度和中國以獲取新的增長。

    No. 80:強生（Johnson & Johnson）

    強生一直以來被人們認為是舒適、可信賴的--困難時期理想的港灣。對2008年奧運會的贊助提升了其全球知名度。

    No. 79:必勝客（Pizza Hut）

    美國銷量的緩慢促使這家披薩連鎖店向中國和印度謀求發展。新的食譜豐富了它的菜單，比如意大利面和雞翅。

    No. 78:蓋普（Gap）

    由于蓋普的低價服飾沒能吸引足夠多購物者的眼球，銷售額出現了下滑。在單個網站上突出其四個部門的做法也可能令消費者摸不著頭腦。

    No. 77:卡地亞（Cartier）

    卡地亞的忠實高端客戶，尤其是在中國和中東區域，沖淡了其他區域的客戶下滑。

    No. 76:蒂芙尼（Tiffany & Co）

    強勁的美元和脆弱的經濟猛烈地沖擊了美國的銷量。但蒂芙尼仍在不停地開設分店，價值9萬3千美元的鑲鉆手機也彰顯了品牌的雄心。

    No. 75:松下（Panasonic）

    電視和數碼相機業務還處于廝殺中。收購三洋給松下帶來了更多的綠色產品，從太陽能面板到電動車電池。

    No. 74:保時捷（Porsche）

    和大眾的收購之爭損害了保時捷的形象，使其銷售陷入了低迷時期。但是這家公司仍憑其高速、性感、可靠的轎車盡享盛名。

    No. 73:哈雷戴維森（Harley-Davidson）

    大號摩托是其終極買主，在這個時代并不能體現完美。作為潮起的一代，新人類并不買它的帳。哈雷目前正寄希望于亞洲。

    No. 72:瑞銀集團（UBS）

    瑞銀集團更換了新的CEO來清理內部。目前正應對由信用緊縮帶來的巨大歷史虧空以及暴露出來幫助美國客戶逃稅的問題。

    No. 71:舒潔（Kleenex）

    它在海外發展的很好，但是自有品牌卻在本土給它制造了麻煩。該品牌憑借科技發起反擊，比如帶乳液的舒潔面巾紙。

    No. 70:愛馬仕（Hermes）

    皮貨的銷量在這次衰退中保持穩定，尤其是在亞洲，新的分店不斷開張，幫助這家時裝公司在今年的銷售實現增長。

    No. 69:現代（Hyundai）

    在微弱優勢以及轎車品質提升的激勵下，現代將資金投入市場營銷，使其全球市場份額達到了創紀錄的5%.

    No. 68:勞力士（Rolex）

    No. 67:雅芳（Avon）

    No. 66:卡特彼勒（Caterpillar）

    美國的建筑市場可能噤若寒蟬，但是在中國、印度的建筑工地、礦井和農場中，卡特彼勒的黃色大機器正發揮著幾倍的速度。

    No. 65:奧迪（Audi）

    相比其他奢侈汽車品牌，它遭受的打擊更小。這正是因為它在中國市場的平穩立足以及對美國市場依賴的降低。和大眾共享零部件也給奧迪帶來了利潤。

    No. 64:雅虎（Yahoo!）

    拒絕了微軟的提議之后，雅虎割舍了和軟件巨人的搜索合同。這是必須的但同時也暴露了雅虎的技術局限。

    No. 63:黑莓（BlackBerry）

    沒有品牌能在智能手機領域達到黑莓的全球持有率。顯然美國總統將黑莓手機別在腰帶上不會給這個牌子帶來什么傷害。

    No. 62:阿迪達斯（Adidas）

    盡管銷售額在下降，但是多虧了在足球、足球鞋、服飾上的實力，阿迪達斯很可能在2010年的南非世界杯上打個翻身仗。

    No. 61:肯德基（KFC）

    由于優惠券短缺，將炸雞投放市場的行為引起了公共關系混亂。但是新的、更為健康的產品幫助肯德基扭轉了在美國銷售的頹勢。

    No. 60:達能（Danone）

    這位新鮮日常用品的世界領導者正致力于提升全球份額，就在其銷售額達到43億美元之后--22年來其資本第一次得到增長。

    No. 59:香奈兒（Channel）

    在經濟低迷時期它的香水和服飾銷量遭受了打擊，但是傳奇性的巴黎時裝店認為它希望能盡力彌補09年銷量上的損失。

    No. 58:雀巢（Nestle）

    憑借20億美元的研發預算，雀巢走進了健康食品--從富有營養的嬰兒食品到保護皮膚免受日光傷害的益生菌。

    No. 57:摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）

    盡管交易操作已經重新產生收益，但是經紀業務仍然處于困境之中。直到經濟反彈之前該公司都無法站穩腳跟。

    No. 56:施樂（Xerox）

    在這辦公設備銷售凄慘的一年，施樂逐步推進新環保技術，并且持續將腳步邁過硬件，走向服務。

    No. 55:大眾（Volkswagen）

    憑借其低油耗產品陣營和在中國、印度的牢固地位，大眾取得了超過整個行業的業績。它在美國還有很多工作要做。

    No. 54:MTV

    在年輕人和成年人之間搖擺不定，廣告投入也有所下降。MTV正在重新制作節目，包括加入更多動畫和系列紀錄片。

    No. 53:安盛（AXA）

    這家保險公司正打算重建穩定性。（新的口號：收入在下降，但是比某些烏鴉嘴說的要好）

    No. 52:高露潔（Colgate）

    盡管全球經濟出現不景氣，但高露潔的口腔、個人及家庭護理產品仍于今年取得穩定的增長，在本土及海外獲取份額。

    No. 51:箭牌（Wrigley）

    這家推出傲白（Orbit）和益達（Extra）的口香糖公司正藉由推廣咀嚼的健康概念來獲得拉動。

    No. 50:Zara

    Zara得益于人們對處于合理價位流行服飾的大量需求。它在廣告方面的投入不多，主要依靠人們的口碑來拉動銷售。

    No. 49:福特（Ford）
