Star (HIGH Market Share, HIGH Market Growth): These are brands very much at their peak, holding a large market share in very much a growing market – therefore requiring continued investment to hold or enhance their position, as competitors continually enter the market and innovate. For Unilever, a prime example of this is Lipton, the world’s best selling tea brand. Despite its existing stature, continued investment in the patented TESS technology (which uses the natural essence pressed from freshly picked leaves) enabled a global re-launch of Lipton Yellow Label that fuelled growth of 5.6% in the last two years.
