Background
Superbrands was founded by advertising executive Marcel Knobil in London in 1994. It began as a radio show on GLR (now BBC Radio London), which was aimed at giving ordinary customers an insight into the significant brands that touched their lives. Due to the success of the show the Superbrand organization was founded in 1995.
In each country that it operates, it aims to identify brands that perform above and beyond other brands within their respective markets. To facilitate this, each country has an independent and voluntary council, which is made up of notable experts in the branding and marketing communication industry as well as experts from local and international blue-chip organisations. Brands that are rated highly by both the council and consumers are eligible for inclusion in a Superbrands project. Step 1 Study: an independent study elects the strongest brands of the country called Superbrands. Step 2 Reward and Knowledge; Superbrands Seal of Excellence, The Superbrands book. In some countries they also hold seminars and Awards ceremonies.

“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
