Google just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The search engine giant is not only the world’s biggest brand, it is also the first brand worth $100 billion. A report from the market research firm Millward Brown shows Google has kept its position as the world’s most powerful brand. It valued the company at $101.4 billion. This is 25 per cent higher than its biggest rival Microsoft, which is the second most valuable brand. The “Top 100 Most Powerful Brands” report lists Coca Cola at number three, followed by IBM and McDonalds. Technology companies make up eight of the top ten. Google’s brand is helped because it is now also a verb in everyday use. It is very common to hear people say “Google it” when they want some information.
