The index ranking list shows the brands with the highest average index scores between July 1 2016 and June 30 2017. John Lewis recorded a score of 43.5, almost three points clear of the next highest ranked brand, BBC iPlayer, which scored 40.6.

Two other BBC brands also appeared in the top 10: BBC One was in fifth place with a score of 37.8, and BBC Two was in ninth place with a score of 36.1. YouGov stated that it “should be noted that all of the data for the list was compiled before the BBC published its pay figures”.
