Global media brand Disney is the most authentic brand in the world, according to a report from communications company Cohn & Wolfe.
The PR firm ranked companies according to their scores on research and surveys answered by more than 12,000 consumers across 14 markets.
Consumers rated more than 1,600 brands on the three key attributes that make up authenticity, according to Cohn & Wolfe. These were: "reliability," "respectfulness," and "reality."
The report found that consumer cynicism is currently high globally, with four out of five consumers stating that brands are not "open and honest."
Cynicism is highest in Western Europe. Only 7% of those surveyed in the UK, France, and Germany described brands as "open and honest." This contrasts with the US, where 23% see brands as honest, and China, where 36% of people have faith in brands.
