Using Brandwatch Image Insights we've conducted unique research analyzing 100 million images, to reveal which brand appears the most - and more.

Every minute, 3.5 million photos are shared online.

In 2016 alone, 2.5 trillion images were shared.

Using Brandwatch’s Image Insights product, we’ve conducted unique research to reveal which brand appears the most in these images.
