The scales of measurement of the MBLN 2022 study included over 600 global brands along with 14 billion (or more) words explored over the past year. Furthermore, the study for the year 2022 is going to be disclosed in three parts. The initial part consisted of the top ranks of the brands with the best performances – which was released on Tuesday – which will be followed by the examination of the industry insights through different categories. The last part, however, will examine the distinctive features and outlook of the tech company.

Moreover, the research aims to evaluate the ‘Brand Intimacy’ by analyzing customers’ emotional attachments to the specific brand. Along with that, it also evaluates the deepness and level of intensity with which the customers feel a connection and attachment with the brand. The degree of intimacy comes within three levels; sharing, bonding, and fusing, and each level has its own criteria. As per the results, Apple secured a high position and is ahead of all the other brands at these levels.

Apple secured the top rank in the ‘bonding’ stage which shows that their customers are loyal and close to the brand, also the understanding and communication among the brand and the customers is comparatively excellent that they have an influence on one another, because of which Apple also secured top position in the ‘sharing’ stage.
