cool brand, who u.s?
September 2006 saw the acknowledgement that Urban Spaces is one of the UK’s coolest brands. Standing on the stage with brands such as Aston Martin, Sony Ericsson, Saatchi Gallery, Asahi Beer and Topshop, a spokesperson for the CoolBrands programme said that the Urban Spaces “product speaks for itself. They’re not trying to be cool, they’re just doing what they do best.” We’re pretty chuffed.

Definition of a CoolBrand: "CoolBrands are brands that have become extremely desirable among many style leaders and influencers. They have a magic about them, signifying that users have a sense of taste and style."

At its core is the CoolBrands Council who judge which brands have successfully created a cool reputation at this moment in time. This year’s council includes MTV presenter and Radio One DJ Trevor Nelson, designer Ben de Lisi and Dazed & Confused Editor Nicki Bidder. Adding a further dimension to the expert opinion and new for 2006, Superbrands has joined forces with YouGov, the UK’s most accurate research agency, to ask the consumers themselves which brands they rate as ‘CoolBrands’.
