US — Video streaming platform Netflix has taken first place in Brand Keys’ 2015 Loyalty Leaders list, where 85% of the top 20 is made up of digital, social and online brands.
According to results from the survey, Amazon (tablets) has taken second place, while Apple takes third and fourth place with its smartphone and tablet offers respectively, and Facebook comes in fifth.
With regard to category composition, 13% of the top 100 loyalty leaders are social networking brands, 10% are automotive brands and 9% are traditional retail brands.
“This year certain categories rose to the top because of the high levels of engagement that consumers show and their ability to deliver better than their competition when it comes to consumers’ increased expectations in virtually everything,” said Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys’ founder and president. “This was particularly true for streaming video brands, with Netflix moving to #1, Amazon and iTunes in the top 20, and HBO GO appearing for the first time.”
Brand and customer loyalty and engagement research consultancy Brand Keys gathered assessments from around 40,000 consumers aged between 18-65 in the nine US Census Regions.
