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.
Staffers at this financial advisory firm put in some long hours this year, but the extra effort was rewarded with baseball tickets, Starbucks gift cards, and free breakfasts during crunch time. Regular bonuses and overnight family retreats provide “meaningful recognition,” and community outreach events contribute to a “wonderful” work environment.
