The Typical American Can't Name the Companies Behind These Popular Brands
"A surprisingly small group of global corporations controls most of the everyday brands people consume worldwide. Companies like Nestlé, PepsiCo, Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, Procter & Gamble, and Mondelez International dominate grocery store shelves, producing everything from snacks and beverages to cleaning supplies and personal care products. In media and entertainment, giants such as The Walt Disney Company, Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount Global own many of the television networks, film studios, and streaming services people use daily. This vast corporate consolidation"
"Disney is probably the most recognizable on this list and the first to come to mind when it comes to ownership of common brands, as its recent acquisitions have made waves in entertainment and Western culture. Most of the biggest and most successful movies in our lifetimes have been made by Disney or one of its subsidiaries. If it has anything to do with children's entertainment, superheroes, nerd culture, animation, or new media, Disney has had some significant sway and influence in it."
A handful of multinational corporations owns a large share of everyday consumer brands and major media outlets globally. Consumer-goods companies cited include Nestlé, PepsiCo, Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, Procter & Gamble, and Mondelez International, which produce snacks, beverages, cleaning supplies, and personal care products. Media and entertainment ownership is concentrated among companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount Global, which control television networks, film studios, and streaming services. Not all of these companies use their power responsibly. Nickelodeon is owned by Paramount Global, ESPN is owned by Disney, and CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. A free report recommends two stocks every investor buy.
