Well, the results are in—from Brandchannel, anyway. And according to their global study of over 2500 people from 99 countries, consumers consider Google the most influential brand for 2005.

- Apple
- Starbucks
- Target
- Lance Armstrong
From this list, you can certainly surmise the respondents skew young. Brandchannel reports their sample ranges from 26 to 35 year olds, with about a third more men voting as women. Marketing Blurb will not argue, but is puzzled by these results. I mean, doesn't Lance always finish first?
