Apart from the overall most trusted brands, Reader’s Digest pulls apart the categories to find the most trusted brands in each.
In the confectionary arena, Cadbury has been knocked off its perch to be overtaken by Lindt as the most trust chocolate, however Hills Hoist maintains the ‘most iconic brand’ title.
Cruise line P&O Cruises tops the cruise operator category, with Toyota finding first place in the car category.
“Many purchases are made with the heart and, even in this digital age, it’s the brands which continue to offer quality and substance that hold our trust,” said Australian Reader’s Digest editor-in-chief, Sue Carney.
“But it also has to be acknowledged that the process of winning our trust has shifted dramatically, with many people preferring the testimonials of their fellow-consumers on social media.”
The full list will be in the next edition of Readers Digest.
