“This is our 19th annual Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands survey,” said Australian Reader’s Digest group editor, Louise Waterson. “The importance of trust – in a digital age influenced by social media tribes – seems to get more important each and every year.

“As we’ve seen so clearly this year, trust can be hard earned and easily lost, and it can definitely be the difference between success and failure.”

“It is built on quality, consistency, honesty and delivering on your promise. Trust matters, and congratulations to those who have managed to earn it. They enjoy a hard-fought competitive advantage in this day and age.”

The top 15 brands for 2018 were:

  1. Band-Aid
  2. Dettol
  3. Colgate
  4. Gillette
  5. Dulux
  6. Dyson
  7. Energizer
