Trusted Brands

In a rapidly changing world, brand trust is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a must-have for sustainable and profitable growth. Brands that actively focus on transparency, responsibility, sustainability and inclusion not only build strong relationships with consumers, but also boost their relevance, resilience and competitive strength.
Trusted brands are shaping the future — and reaping the benefits. They connect belief with strategy, values with results.

Trusted Brands is part of UBA Focus

Trusted brands is part of UBA Focus: our framework for everything that matters today and shapes tomorrow’s marketing landscape. The world is changing fast, and as a brand builder, you can’t stand still.
UBA Focus helps you zoom in on what truly matters.

Responsible, sustainable and inclusive communication

Responsible communication is a real opportunity to build trust. By sharing their sustainable commitments in a transparent, coherent and honest way, brands increase their credibility and make their efforts more visible.
Rather than avoiding complex topics out of fear (greenhushing) or approaching them superficially (greenwashing), brands that speak authentically gain respect and engagement. Inclusive communication also opens new markets and helps brands reach broader and more diverse audiences.

Quality, locally rooted media choices

Trust is also built through the context in which your brand appears. By investing in high-quality, locally anchored media, brands enhance the credibility of their message. Collaborations with influencers must also be authentic, transparent and ethical. A thoughtful media strategy strengthens both brand image and business performance.

Ethical use of data and technology

Using data responsibly is key to maintaining trust. Protecting privacy, being transparent about AI usage and making ethical choices in digital environments are no longer optional. Brands that act with integrity in these areas strengthen their legitimacy and long-term growth potential.
