*YouGov's BrandIndex is a daily measure of brand perception among the public, tracking many brands across multiple sectors simultaneously. Twice a year, we consolidate our data and publish the Best Brand Ranking across the globe. These 2016 Mid-Year Rankings compare BrandIndex Buzz scores for over 200 brands in Hong Kong, revealing the brands with the most positive noise in the first half of the year.

Buzz is one of the metrics that BrandIndex tracks, in which respondents are asked: “If you've heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?” Buzz scores can range from 100 to -100 and are compiled by subtracting negative feedback from positive. A zero score means equal positive and negative feedback.
