Microsoft tops 'superbrand' list
Updated on 12 July 2007
Microsoft has beaten Coca-Cola to scoop the title of the UK's number one brand, according to a new poll.
The technology giant held on to its crown as the public's top "superbrand".
Coca-Cola came second followed by internet search engine Google in third place.
In a separate assessment, media and marketing experts put Google in the number one slot followed by Apple.
Stephen Cheliotis, chairman of the Superbrands Council which carried out the research, said: "The UK public clearly love Microsoft which performs strongly among all consumer groups, although relative newcomer Google is becoming a major challenger for that elusive number one slot."
The Superbrands Council is a group of marketing, advertising and media experts.
Members rated a list of 1,450 brands according to quality, reliability and distinctiveness.
Of these, the 725 highest-scoring brands were assessed by 3,265 consumers surveyed by YouGov researchers.
This survey was used to create the list of top "superbrands".
