Methodology:

YouGov BrandIndex collects data on thousands of brands every day. Ad Awareness is based on the question: “Which of the following consumer brands have you seen an advertisement for in the past two weeks?"

Rankings in this article are based on change in Ad Awareness. To qualify as top improvers, a minimum base size of 300 (n) is required. In cases where the change in scores is the same between two brands, the current scores are used as a secondary metric to determine their ranking.

Brands tracked across multiple sectors are ranked based on their highest-performing sector. Both parent and child brands, such as Google and YouTube, are included to allow for greater granularity in performance tracking.
