The speed with which Starbucks had managed its ascent was almost as remarkable as the changes it had wrought in traditional conceptions of brand marketing. At a time of rising perceptions of parity across most product and service categories throughout the developed world, Starbucks had managed to take one of the world's oldest commodities and turn it into a differentiated, lasting, value-laden brand. Moreover, the company had done this without relying on some of brand's most venerable marketing's tools, including an extensive advertising and promotions budget. Over a 20-year period, Starbucks spent approximately $ 20 million total on advertising, an average of $ 1 million per year; In contrast, according to a 2001 Business Week analysis of the top 100 brands, Proctor & Gamble Company's Pampers brand — which ranked 92, four places below Starbucks, on the list — spends $ 30 million annually on advertising.
