Being selected as an influential brand is proof not only of popularity, but also of a brand’s capability to maximize shareholder value. The World Brand laboratory determines awardees through a mathematical valuation of intangible assets, including: customer loyalty, brand value, profitability, and market value. Past awardees of the distinction include internationally renowned enterprises like HSBC Hong Kong, Bank of China Hong Kong, and Cathay Pacific. Mr. Denny Wong, CEO and founder of ACS, accepted the award on behalf of ACS on Dec 27, 2013.
As a worldwide leader on intangible asset valuation, the World Brand Laboratory has similarly assessed well-known brands for accounting, taxation and commercial purposes. It is also the organizer of “the World’s 500 Most Influential Brands” and “the Asia’s 500 Most Influential Brands.”
“This award validates the level of quality, innovation and service that ACS constantly strives to achieve,” says Denny. “For years we have fostered a corporate culture of delivering on promises and maintaining integrity-and a lot of our success may be attributed to this. This award is proof that a good culture encourages success.”
