The Standard Bank KZN Top Business Brand Award is much coveted each year and is awarded by public vote only.
Many well-known brands have been grown from within KZN and have made an indelible mark on consumer behaviour. Some of these companies have histories that started in the early twentieth century and they continue to expand their footprints today.
These brands have reached out locally, nationally and in many cases internationally. They also have a clearly defined brand identity and have a great story to tell.
According to the Harvard Business Review, among other attributes a top brand:
- Excels at delivering the benefits customers truly desire
- Is relevant
- Is consistent
- Understands what it means to consumers
- Is based on consumers’ perceptions of value
Previous Top Brand winners who well illustrate these attributes, include Defy, East Coast Radio, Blue Security and uShaka Marine World.
The interest shown in this award is reflected in the large number of votes cast. We are also delighted that companies take advantage of the opportunity by encouraging their staff members, clients and other stakeholders to get involved.
