Kantar BrandZ: Sky 'most valued' media brand in UK
In brief
Sky has ranked as the most highly-valued media owner in the UK, coming in at Number Six in research by Kantar.
The BBC and ITV were the only other media owners to make the top 75 list, coming in at 46 and 53 respectively in the latest Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable UK Brands 2022 report.
In total, the UK’s leading 75 brands (below) are valued at $282.9bn, an increase of 1% year-on-year.
However, this shows signs of “stagnation” amongst UK brands according to Kantar, given the 100 most valuable brands globally grew by 23% in 2022.
The research also revealed that a quarter of brands on the list are charging a higher price than perceptions of their brands can justify, which led Kantar to suggest that more work is needed to make sure pricing and brand strategy are aligned, otherwise brands could risk being left behind by customers as inflation rises.
