Johnson & Johnson (US)

Best-known for babycare and Band-Aids, Johnson & Johnson has long been one of the world's biggest healthcare manufacturers, and got even bigger in 2006 with the purchase of the consumer health division of Pfizer. In fact, consumer products had until then been the group's smallest segment. The largest chunk of group revenues still come from pharmaceuticals, including blockbusters such as Procrit, Risperdal and Remicade. The group favours a highly decentralised structure with a broad portfolio of almost 200 separately branded subsidiary businesses, operating as McNeil, Ortho, Depuy and Ethicon among many others. Key brands under the group's umbrella include Tylenol, Neutrogena, Aveeno and Ortho contraceptives, as well as medical devices, surgical products and Acuevue contact lenses. Advertising Age estimated global measured advertising expenditure of $2.6bn in 2008, making Johnson & Johnson the world's #7 advertiser.
