Also interesting is how the brand value of Toyota is steadily recovering. 6 months later and $30bn higher. BP needs to plug that hole and just have patience.

The five-digit accuracy of brand value is amusing, particularly when one realizes that it must, in most cases, come down to a difference between two considerably larger numbers, each of which is subject to considerable error and variability. Numerology is fun!

How much does the BP brand matter really? They will always sell out 100% of their oil at exactly the same price as everyone else.

Perhaps it may hurt their hiring, but surely oil employees aren’t as brand conscious as Google’s annual crop of whiz kids…

People can be so picky sometimes. The only way BP could be more evil than Goldman Sachs is if they were deliberately drilling giant holes deep into the US Treasury and not catching every last drop of cash that came gushing out.

Laurie Kilmartin joked last night:
“BP & Goldman Sachs are so shitty, I’m nostalgic for Al Qaeda. At least when Al Qaeda attacks us they have the decency to kill themselves.”
