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:
Oprah
On May 25th one of TV’s greatest icons signed off one last time, ending the 25 year reign of the talk show Queen, Oprah. Check out what fellow blogger Beth Anne had to say about the brand that made us laugh, cry, and even scream over the years:
In 25 years, it is not just the show that evolved but also her brand. The Oprah show initially was a little risqué and reminiscent of what became the Ricki Lake show. Slowly over the years, it evolved into a self-help, mentally stimulating, celebratory show. The Oprah brand launched the careers of personalities like Dr. Phil, Nate Berkus, Bob Greene and Dr. Oz. Her endorsement is the golden touch. Marketers strove for just one mention of their brand on the air to have sales explode.
