Last year Nokia was in the top brands listed, but this year there are no technology brands in the top ten.
The top ten most trusted brands, in order are:
1. Dettol
2. Band-Aid
3. Panadol
4. Cadbury
5. Colgate
6. Elastoplast
7. Lindt
8. Betadine

10. Kellogg’s
Last year’s survey found Colgate was the nation’s most trusted brand. Bunnings was once again the most trusted retailer, with Dick Smith and Vegemite again holding the “Australian Icon” top three.
Australian Reader’s Digest Editor, Sue Carney said: “In uncertain times, it’s the brands which continue to offer quality and substance that hold our trust. They have a long history of being steadfast and safe, which makes them a hot property in modern day Australia.”

This year’s survey was carried out on a survey group of 2,468 people and was conducted by Catalyst, who took over from previous market research agency McCrindle.
How can Kraft be an “Australian Icon”? It’s an American company that began in Chicago, Illinois.

McCrindle is still plying his trade on ACA, i think

@ archie. Only 68% of McCrindle’s research is totally made-up (although I just made that up.)
User ID not verified.
my only interaction with the dettol brand that i can recall is my 16 year old self put some on a pimple in the hope of making it go away and it stung like hell.
can only assume from that it would de-crap your floors too.

Any hint at the methodology?

I thought it was 78% of statistics are made up?
Didn’t I read another so called best brand stat thingy the other day and Apple was no 1? (Or was that a slightly different take?)
I will quote John Cleese in The Life Of Brian:
“He’s making it up as he goes along…”
Yawn…
