Brand Indicator Switzerland: Migros is once again the most popular brand

Migros has regained the top spot as the most popular and strongest brand in the "Brand Indicator Switzerland" ranking. In the previous year, the retail giant had been edged out by WhatsApp. The messenger service is now in second place, followed by Google, Coop.ch and the payment app Twint.

According to the press release on the study published on Thursday, Migros has made gains among young people in French-speaking Switzerland in particular. However, the survey was conducted before the Migros management decided to restructure the group. Among other things, Migros is planning to sell its subsidiaries Hotelplan and SportX and will cut around 1,500 jobs.

Retail, consumer goods and global brands dominate

The "Brand Indicator Switzerland" (BIS), compiled under the direction of Zurich-based advertiser Frank Bodin and together with Deeptrue, Furrerhugi and Converto, remains dominated by brands from the retail and consumer goods sector as well as digital global brands. The Migros label "From the region, for the region", which was recorded for the first time, immediately took sixth place. Le Gruyère and Lindt ranked 8th and 9th respectively.

Meanwhile, the Group brand Coop slipped to seventh place, but Coop remains well represented in the top ten with Coop.ch and Coop Supercard (10). The upward trend of Coop.ch is spectacular, according to the press release. In 2022, the brand was ranked 118th as Coop@home, 18th in 2023 and now 4th. In contrast, Migros.ch is only ranked 100th.
