Superbrands India

Hi Everyone, I would like to draw everyone's attention to a very interesting phenomenon called Superbrands. Superbrands UK, an independent arbiter on branding, has launched its operations in India. The Superbrands organisation promotes the discipline of branding and pays tribute to exceptional brands. Superbrands programmes operate in over 25 countries. Its Indian arm - Superbrands India Pvt. Ltd. has recently published case studies on 101 strongest consumer brands in India in the form of a coffee table book, which is a collector's item. I have bought the book and must say it is exquisite. Check it out on the Superbrands India website. Superbrand status is awarded by an independent judging panels of experts. Different juries exist for the different geographical regions to ensure that only the most deserving of brands attain the credential. In India, the Consumer Superbrands Council includes some of the most eminent marketing, media and advertising professionals in India. They are: Mr. Anmol Dar, President of Frank Simoes Advertising & Council Chairperson, Mr. K.M.S.
