Brand Republic | Apple tops list of fastest growing brand in the World

Key data points:

- In the past four years, Apple has increased its brand value by 38 percent
- Coca-Cola and McDonald's did not even make the top 20 despite spending the most on advertising
- Nike came in at number 16
- Toyota came in at number 17 despite having the highest brand value - $25.8 billion
