City Brand Barometer 2023 in partnership with astara

We first worked with astara, one of the world’s leading mobility companies, in 2022 to create their brand helping people go further in the next era of mobility. We’ve partnered again to create City Brand Barometer 2023, Business edition (CBB).

CBB is our annual study for businesses, individuals and policy-makers to understand how cities are using brand to successfully stand out on a global scale. With an alternating focus on tourism and business, this year’s report culminates in a ranking of the top 100 best city brands for business worldwide.

In its 16th year, CBB now evaluates each city’s brand through its promise, experience and delivery. Including bespoke, data-driven research from astara Intelligence, the company’s advisory division, this year’s report also explores how mobility affects the memorability of global city brands. Together with astara, we identified 10 cities from the top 100 to analyse emerging trends and reveal crucial lessons for enhancing city brand experience through mobility.
