According to the magazine, the preferred brands for Brazilians are Vivo (2.5%), Coca-Cola (2.1%) and Itaipava (2.1%), while the most remembered brands on TV during 2015 were Casas Bahia (9.6%), Coca-Cola (6.5%) and Vivo (5.9%).

The results come after a strong rebranding effort by Telefónica, which extended the Vivo brand to its entire telecoms portfolio. The move followed the acquisition of GVT, which reinforced the telco’s position in Brazilian pay-TV market.
