How we rank a group's brands

Each brand is tested on its own, on the same tests as every agency, and none can pay to rank. Where two brands from one group work in the same profession, that ranking lists the better-placed one, so one group can't fill a list. In the overall ranking the group counts as one entry, listed under its lead brand. How we rank
