IBM is the most mentioned B2B brand online in most places. However, it is not the top mentioned company in every country. For example, oil-rich countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, talk most about energy brands, such as ExxonMobil, BP, and Chevron.
In the United States, IBM is the clear leader, dominating B2B chatter online in 26 states; however, other companies, such as Oracle, Rolls Royce, and Cisco, come out on top in a few states.
Business software companies get the most mentions online, followed by aerospace firms.
