Do you recognise these companies? How organisations view themselves.


Think you know how some of the world's most influential organisations view themselves?

The statements below are all taken from the websites of some of the most well known commercial organisations in the world today. Let's see how well they have communicated with you, and also how well you speak the language of corporate branding.

Select your answer from the alternatives underneath each statement: get it right and you'll be taken to the relevant website. Get it wrong, and you'll be returned to the top of this blog.

OK, there's an easy way to cheat, but I'm trusting you all to be legal, decent, truthful and honest!

Good luck!
