and 37 respectively.

used by global brands as part of their marketing strategy. Brands were
audited based on volume, total views and engagement for content uploaded
to YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook in 2012. goviral then used its expertise

audience relevance before calculating its final social video equity
score.

Luxury fashion brands strike gold with Prada (7th),
Burberry (16th) and Louis Vuitton (18th) all
featuring in the top twenty as a result of high engagement scores

Corona (93rd) and Jack Daniels (99th) all lying
