Japan Automotive===LEXUS
Clever marketing in the US has maintained the perception that Lexus is an American brand, rather than Japanese. This is vital in a country where people prefer to buy home grown products. Elsewhere, the brand is seen as less exciting and sporty than its nearest rivals, BMW and Mercedes, but this hasn’t stopped its growth. It has invested heavily in hybrid cars with its sister brand Toyota. This makes it an increasingly popular choice in places like London where this technology is exempt from the Congestion Charge tax.

ItalyLuxury===Prada
Prada has been the top spender on marketing and advertising among the luxury global brands. With the Chinese market expected to account for 10% of global sales by 2010, the region has been a key focus for development. The Prada phone, developed in conjunction with LG, was well received and helped the brand to reach new audiences.

United States Personal Care=== Johnson & Johnson
The continued emphasis of family and ethical values has helped the Johnson & Johnson brand maintain a place in people’s hearts, with a wide range of products and partnerships doing the balance sheet no harm either. With the acquisition of Pfizer, the brand has become a worldwide force, which may, in time, stretch the perception of it being a family company.
