Methodology
About the ranking
To determine this year’s rankings, Morning Consult analyzed over 150,000 Morning Consult Brand Intelligence interviews with U.S. adults to measure consumer perceptions across four key metrics: favorability, trust, community impact, and Net Promoter Score.
The final rankings were determined using surveys conducted online among a national sample of adults. Between 3,700 and 8,300 adults rated each of the over 1,900 companies from June through July 2020. The average company was surveyed over 6,000 times. The maximum margin of error for a given brand is plus or minus 3%.
The Brand Love Index Score
The Most Loved Brands Index is based on four metrics, added together for an index score:
Favorability Score: The percentage of consumers with a favorable opinion of the brand.
Trust Score: The percentage of consumers who trust the brand to do the right thing.
Community Impact Score: The percentage of consumers who say the brand has a positive impact on their local community.
Net Promoter Score: Consumers are asked on a scale of 1-10 how likely they would be to promote a given brand. NPS is determined by subtracting the percentage who say 0-6 from the percentage who say 9 or 10.
