Interbrand launches “2022 Breakthrough Brands” Report showcasing the 30 emerging brands

The brands included in this year’s report span a range of fast-growing industries, including celebrity-led cannabis brands (Houseplant and Monogram), women’s health (Tia and Kindbody), blockchain (Mythical Games, Bored Ape Yacht Club and MoonPay), and Climate Tech (Watershed, Arcadia and Pachama). More than 50% of 2022’s Breakthrough Brands have founders or C-suite members who are women or people of color.

The three emerging topics from this year’s Breakthrough Brands report are:

• The next generation of the internet: As Web3 is coming of age, blockchain-based companies are moving into new avenues such as NFTs and decentralized autonomous organizations. Brands like Polygon, Chainalysis and MoonPay are building the on-ramp to more users on Web3.
• Carbon measurement fuelling accountability: The conversation around climate change is becoming more focused on measurable action for decarbonization and reaching net-zero by 2050. Brands including Watershed, Planet Labs, and Doconomy are creating the software-based tools to help companies with their carbon accounting.
• Rebuilding the healthcare industry: Boutique health brands such as Folx Health, Thirty Madison, and Kindbody are reimagining the experience for different demographics that have been underserved while driving accessibility and reducing costs.

Daniel Binns, CEO, Interbrand New York, said: “After another year with many uncertainties being faced by businesses, we see genuine hope in so many innovative brands emerging across a range of sectors. We’re expecting to see these brands continue to achieve impressive growth and become key disruptors within the US market.”

Naeiri Zargarian, Strategy Director at Interbrand New York, said: “It’s all about systems change – whether it is to decentralize the internet, demystify healthcare, or decarbonize the planet, these brands are laying the groundwork for the next decade.”

Interbrand expanded its number of “Human Truths” metrics this year to include Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I), Accessibility, and Sustainability. To conduct its analysis, Interbrand partnered with Infegy Atlas, Vox Media, and Circus.
