While it might pay to be a bit sceptical of many conclusions Ipsos reaches, as it is far from the most established or best market research company operating in Australia, it publishes a list of the 'top 10 influential brands for Australia' each year.

The 2016 edition does not feature any airlines - local or international - which may come as a surprise to those who love Qantas. Mind you, while Qantas may have an approxinmate 65 per cent domestic airline market share, its penetration into the international travel market, even with Jetstar and Emirates added, is much lower: a majority of us plus foreigners visiting do not travel on these three airlines internationally ex or to Australia.

Google, Microsoft and Apple head the list.

Woolworths and Aldi are to my mind surprise omissions, especially since despite Woolworths receiving stacks of negative media publicity it remains Australia's leading supermarket by market share.

Australia Post comes in at number 10, again perhaps surprising although it and subsidiaries such as StarTrack have a growing role in deliveries of online-ordered packages, albeit not without competition from Toll, FedEx and UPS plus a number of others.

Visa comes in as number 10.

The Federal Government is absent which seems odd although perhaps it is not considered a 'brand' as such. I do not know the methodology of this survey.
 
Not at all surprising to me. No airline has been that innovative, and there's lots of competition (at least globally).
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Australia Post hasn't been overly innovative in the past year, unless one calls doubling the price of stamps an 'innovation'.
 
Coles made the list at no. 5 even if Woolworths didn't. I don't think you'd have too much trouble finding people who find the influence of Woolworths waning at the moment.

Innovate / adapt. That's exactly what it's done.
 
I wouldn't put an airline on top of the list either.

Google, Microsoft and Apple? :confused: I must be misunderstanding the question as those 3 would influence very little in my life.
 
Google manipulate information as do all the others including FB
 
Alot of people rarely fly. However most people have a phone, computer and shop.
