Every month, YouGov identifies the brands generating the strongest surge in consumer conversations in the Finland.

Using data from YouGov BrandIndex, our daily brand tracking solution, we measure Word of Mouth, the percentage of people who say they have talked about a brand with friends or family in the past two weeks.

The brands featured here recorded the largest increase in conversation levels over a four-week period, calculated as the difference between their lowest and highest Word of Mouth scores during that time, using a four-week moving average.

Word of Mouth scores are based on surveys of adults aged 18 and above, conducted between April 1 and April 30, 2026.

It is measured as the difference between the lowest and highest points within the four-week window, with the lowest point occurring before the highest.
