- Nestle – 112,150
The report also analyses eight global chocolate brands in depth, including Nutella, KitKat and Godiva. NetBase Brand Passion Index compares consumer Net Sentiment, the overall direction of consumer emotion, with Passion Intensity, a measure of how strongly those emotions are felt.
“In today’s social-driven marketplace, maintaining a strong emotional connection with consumers is vital for success,” said Pernille Bruun-Jensen, chief marketing officer of NetBase. “Understanding the way that consumers interact with a brand or product is key for maintaining that emotional connection. Social data offers a wealth of insight that can help brands understand their target market and what influences them.”
Analysis of all of the social chatter over the last 2 years shows that consumer sentiment around chocolate is 82% positive. When it comes to conversations about cooking with chocolate, Nutella has the most buzz, followed closely by Oreo. Social mentions of chocolate peak globally around Valentine’s Day. Women account for 75% of the conversations, with many talking about getting ready for V-Day. Twelve global brands and three retailers emerge in the Top 15 most buzzed-about brands.
