Google stands firm as Australia’s most influential brand

Google has once again topped a league table of the 10 most influential brands in Australia after seeing off fellow tech challengers Facebook and Microsoft with ease.
The list stands out as much for an absence of Australian brands as it does for Google’s dominance however with just three homegrown names rising to the top in a field otherwise dominated by US tech heavyweights; supermarket chain Coles at 5, telecoms giant Telstra at 9 and DIY brand Bunnings scraping in at number 10.
