So what
AI has become the single biggest driver of brand equity creation: Microsoft and Nvidia alone added some $200 billion in a year. Nvidia's brand doubled while the incumbents Apple and Amazon grew only single digits, showing how fast a platform shift reprices reputations. Boards should treat brand value as a lagging indicator of strategic positioning, not a marketing metric.
