Ad Spending – A Driving Force of Value
Consistent ad spending is a driving force in creating brand value. Other forms of communications, such as public relations, investor relations, employee relations, and social media, contribute an additional 23%.
With many events, such as economic uncertainty, falling outside the control of a public company, it would be a mistake to slash advertising, a relatively sure thing that can improve a company’s valuation.

Communications of all types have an impact on brand image. Whether planned or unplanned, everything you say and do as a corporation will impact the image of your company.
CoreBrand research shows the more a company spends on advertising, the better its chances of improving its reputation. The less a company spends on advertising, the more likely its image suffers and the higher its risk during an unforeseen crisis. Earnings growth and stock performance consistently rise and fall with image. Therefore, brand image (Familiarity and Favorability) impacts the financial value of a company in terms of stock price and revenue.
