Samsung Electronics one of the top five global brands for the fourth year in a row
Company Samsung Electronics was named one of the top five global brands for the fourth year in a row by a global consulting firm specializing in brands Interbrand, which publishes a list of the best global brands every year. Based on this year's list, Samsung achieved a brand value of 91.4 billion dollars, which is four percent more than the previous year.
Samsung's brand value increased across all business areas in 2023, despite reduced demand in the global IT industry. According to Interbrand, at the company's discretion Samsung Electronics have had a positive impact on:
- Consistently improving the customer experience across the company based on the “One Samsung” strategy.
- A higher level of connectivity and an improved gaming experience through the company's wide range of products and its SmartThings application.
- The company's role as a leader in innovative technologies of the future such as 6G, artificial intelligence (AI), the auto industry, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
- Consistent action to strengthen leadership in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG) through environmental activities along all product lines.
„Thanks to the support of our customers around the world, the steady growth of Samsung Electronics' brand value continues, despite the challenging general business environment“, said Ye Li, President of Global Marketing at Samsung Electronics. “We will always strive to be the brand our customers love through leading technological innovations that enable a purposeful experience and by continuing our sustainability efforts.“
Brand value growth based on the SmartThings app, gaming experience, industry-leading innovation and leadership in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance
At the end of last year, Samsung Electronics opened a Direct Customer Contact Center (D2C) as part of its global marketing activities to provide an integrated online and offline experience. The company also has a CX-MDE center – which is responsible for enhancing the experience of using multiple devices simultaneously – with the aim of achieving greater synergy between products and improving the overall user experience.
One of the main factors that influenced the increase in the value of the Samsung brand last year were partnerships. Thanks to the SmartThings app, which provides a unified connectivity experience, Samsung further strengthens its open partnerships to connect not only its own products, but also various third-party devices. In addition, partnerships with various companies on mobile devices, tablets, televisions, computers and monitors provide users with an enhanced gaming experience.
