- Allianz named the world's 'Best Insurance Brand' again in Interbrand's Best Global Brands ranking 2021
- Allianz climbs five ranks to #34 of top 100 global brands
- Largest brand value increase since Allianz entered the 100 Best Global Brands ranking
Allianz brand value climbs 17 percent to over 15 billion USD in one year
Allianz continues to be the world’s most valuable insurance brand, according to the 2021 Best Global Brands ranking, released by leading consultancy Interbrand today. Within the top 100 global brands, Allianz has climbed five ranks since 2020 to #34. Allianz’s brand value has risen by 2.2 billion USD in one year to 15.2 billion USD, an increase of 17 percent. This increase is the strongest since Allianz entered the 100 Best Global Brands ranking in 2007 with a brand value of 4.0 billion USD.
According to Interbrand, Allianz’s rise in the ranking is based on its strong operating performance and outlook, increased branded revenue, and brand strength. Moreover, the influence of the Allianz brand on customers’ purchase decisions has increased over the last year.
Said Serge Raffard, Group Strategy, Marketing, Distribution Officer at Allianz SE.
To further build on its brand strength, Allianz has enhanced its global coherence, affinity, and distinctiveness. The “OneAllianz” approach was applied to unify Allianz’s brand presence into one logo, one message and one campaign. Moreover, Allianz has improved customer experiences globally by listening closely to its customers via numerous programs and addressing their unmet needs.
Allianz’s eight-year worldwide partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Movements has also been instrumental in underlining Allianz’s role as a global insurer supporting the sports ecosystem. Since the launch of the partnership in January 2021, the likeability of the Allianz brand has increased significantly among people aware of the tie-up.
Said Dr. Christian Deuringer, Head of Global Brand & Marketing at Allianz SE.
Interbrand pioneered the brand valuation concept in 1988. It was the first company to have its methodology certified as ISO 10668 (requirements for monetary brand valuation) compliant and it played a key role in the development of the standard itself. Since 2000, the Best Global Brands ranking and report has been published annually and is one of the most recognized rankings in brand management.
