What is ISO 20671?

ISO 20671 is officially titled:

“Brand evaluation — Principles and fundamentals”

This standard offers a framework for:

  1. Defining the principles, structure, and governance of brand evaluation
  2. Identifying and assessing key value drivers of a brand
  3. Aligning brand performance with business strategy
  4. Measuring brand value from both financial and non-financial perspectives
  5. Enhancing transparency, objectivity, and comparability in brand assessment

ISO 20671 is applicable to all types of organizations—public or private, large or small—that seek to manage brand performance systematically and sustainably.

Why is ISO 20671 important?

Brands drive consumer behavior, stakeholder trust, and long-term business success. However, traditional financial reporting does not adequately capture brand strength and intangible value. Without a structured evaluation method, companies face:

  1. Subjective or inconsistent brand assessments
  2. Difficulty aligning brand strategy with business goals
  3. Challenges in justifying brand investments or valuation in M&A activities

ISO 20671 resolves this by offering a transparent, internationally recognized framework for brand evaluation based on clear principles, such as relevance, distinctiveness, consistency, and responsiveness.

  1. 📈 Holistic Brand Measurement: Evaluates both tangible and intangible brand factors
  2. 🔍 Enhanced Decision-Making: Informs marketing, investment, and M&A strategies
