Round 9 of “Have You Heard of These Companies?

Introduction

This was the 9th time we’ve done this survey, asking whether you’ve heard of 30 different companies. The list varies each time slightly. Some companies have been on this list all nine times, while others may be there first.

Below this chart is a breakdown one step further with percent changes from March and since June 2019 (1st time this survey was done).

As expected, Rogue, Titan, and REP are at the top of the list. Eleiko and Peloton were added to this survey for the first time, and both had extremely high recognition.

Below is the complete list of all those at least 90% of survey respondents have heard of.
