Seven charities are among the UK’s top 100 most loved brands according to Savanta’s latest surveying, with Macmillan Cancer Support the highest ranking.

Savanta’s BrandVue Most Loved Brands report is the result of a survey of over 200,000 UK adults on their feelings toward more than 2,500 brands, and ranks the top 100. This is its third year and includes rankings across age, gender, and region.

Brand Love is calculated as the percentage of people stating that they ‘love’ a brand, based on the question: ‘What is your opinion of the following brand’; 1. Love, 2. Like a lot, 3. Like a little, 4. Indifferent, 5. Dislike a little, 6. Dislike a lot, 7. Hate. Respondents can also opt out by saying they don’t know much about the brand.
