Brand Index Methodology
The Morning Consult Brand Index is an indicator of brand strength among consumers. Each Fortune 500 company receives a score based on a ratio of favorable to unfavorable impressions among U.S. adults and its overall favorability. This ensures that a score takes into account how well-liked a company is among people who have an opinion of it without penalizing companies that are not consumer-facing.
Morning Consult polls thousands of adults across the country each week. The surveys are conducted online using large, established online survey vendors. The data is weighted to approximate a nationally representative sample based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, region, annual household income, home ownership status and marital status.
Here’s a deal you can’t refuse: Combine cash bonuses, abundant prizes, and employee recognition with serious philanthropy. More than 8,500 CarMax employees have volunteered with KaBOOM! to build 66 playgrounds and donate 59 play products in underserved areas in over 80 cities. Meanwhile, CarMax has given KaBOOM! $9.1 million and pledged $4.4 million.
