They include both traditional commercial brands and non-traditional brands; TikTok, White Claw, Walmart, Lululemon, Black Lives Matter and women leaders of countries such as New Zealand, Germany, Taiwan and Finland. White Claw, which is an alcoholic seltzer manufactured by Irish company Mark Anthony Brands International, made the list for "its ability to create a whole new category that was always in plain sight but eluded the big brands". Congratulations White Claw!
