Kia Emerges in the Top 100 Best Global Brands

Oct. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Liberty Kia is proud to announce that the Kia Motors Corporation has made the highly exclusive list of “Top 100 Best Global Brands,” placing 87th. The brand is now thought to be valued at $4.1 billion USD, an increase by 50% in what the brand was said to be worth last year. Compared to the average value growth rate of 11% by the rest of the industry, this is a huge leap for Kia and recognizes their efforts to be a competitive brand.

Liberty Kia is proud to be a part of Kia Motor's ongoing legacy by offering great vehicles to Libertyville, Illinois and the surrounding area.

“Entering the 'Top 100 Best Global Brands' validates Kia's commitment to continuously provide exciting and inspiring brand experiences,” said the VP of Kia’s Marketing Division. “And it's amazing to see what we can accomplish by staying true to who we are – a young and dynamic challenger that goes beyond expectations.”
Standings for the Top Brands list are compiled from data that measures financial return to investors, the ability of the brand to deliver expected earnings, and how much the name of the brand plays into a purchasing decision.

Kia has experienced recent surges in sales over the past few years. In 2008 through 2011, Kia sales have increased by 81% to 2.5 million units annually. A strong marketing push is seen as a main factor in the South Korea based company's success, raising awareness about the brands presence. High profile sponsorships, including the Fifa World Cup, the NBA, and the Australian Open have put Kia at the forefront of global product visibility. Regardless of the public's reaction, it's also difficult to forget the giant, hip-hop obsessed hamsters advertising the Kia Soul. It's this new indelibility that has helped to make Kia a strong global automotive competitor.
