It’s officially December, I know you’re probably thinking the same thing I am, where has 2011 gone? The month of December doesn’t just kick the holiday celebrations into high gear, but every imaginable countdown of “best this” and “top this” will begin as 2011 comes to a close. And here at brandsalsa it’s no different! Throughout the month of December we’ll be listing out (in no particular order) the most talked about brands in 2011.

Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday I’ll add to the list, so check back often to see who made the cut!

And without further ado, the most talked about brands of 2011 are:

Abercrombie & Fitch
In one of the most creative PR stunts I’ve seen in recent years Abercrombie & Fitch made headlines when they offered Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from the popular “Jersey Shore” to stop wearing its clothing when the brand said in a statement: ” We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans.” For a brand that is no stranger to risqué controversies this was certainly an interesting, media-attention grabbing move.
