The Advertising Slogans of The Billion Dollar Club

Now we have the Nielsen Billion Dollar Club (reported in AdAge Global, October 8, 2001), we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the advertising taglines of such a significant collection. We run a database of slogans to enable ad agencies to check for conflicts for new lines, so this was a simple task. See the accompanying table for examples of current or recent taglines for each brand in the Nielsen Billion Dollar Club.
The Billion Dollar ClubBy Suzanne Bidlake
Name the world's top packaged goods companies off the top of your head. Procter & Gamble Co., Unilever, Nestle and Coca-Cola Co. would be a good start. All are consumer goods juggernauts with an armory of global brands, right?Wrong. At least according to ACNielsen, the respected market researcher which has identified 43 billion-dollar-topping brands it believes justify the prefix "global" (see chart.) None belong to Unilever, the world's top ad spender and the second biggest food company.By contrast, Procter & Gamble can lay claim to five global brands, beaten only by PepsiCo with six, and level with the Philip Morris Cos. (including Kraft Foods). Coca-Cola Co. has four. The other multiple global brand owners are Nestlé, Kimberly-Clark Corp., Gillette Co. and Mars Inc., with two apiece.
Topping the list are Coke and Marlboro, with sales of more than $15 billion, Pepsi with $5 billion-$15 billion, followed by Budweiser, Campbell's, Kellogg's and Pampers with sales of $3 billion-$5 billion.The research, “Reaching the Billion Dollar Mark - A Review of Today's Global Brands”, was based on ACNielsen retail data from 30 countries, which together account for 90% of the world's Gross Domestic Product.For a brand to make the final 43, it had to meet three main criteria. First, its cumulative sales for the 12 months ending with 1Q 2001 had to be $1 billion or more. Second, it had to have a measurable presence in each of the four geographic regions of Latin America, Asia/Pacific, North America and Europe/Middle East and Africa. Lastly, sales outside its home market had to account for at least 5% of its global sales value.
