The international marketing consultancy Kantar published its fourth annual ranking of the most valuable German brands on 11 March 2021. At the top are old acquaintances: SAP once again in first place, once again ahead of Deutsche Telekom. Behind them, a change of position between the carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Jürgen Schäfer on omni-channel communication and a commitment to commerce. The COO has seen three Visions turned into reality, and is now set to embark on the journey laid out by Vision number four.

Dr Thomas Olemotz on the meaning of the new Vision, what it consists of and the future of the company. The CEO is convinced that the new blueprint for the future will bring orientation and drive in our high-paced era.
