We live in a world where we have massive companies which are bigger in Welsh in some countries, and we have a lot of big brand names which are far bigger than any politician or celebrity could be on their own. Because brands are the new kings of Fame, it’s very rare that we see the faces behind the brand name. This article is going to show you some of the faces behind some of the world’s famous brands.
Ray Kroc
For instance, one of the biggest brands in the world is the famous McDonald’s restaurant. At 75 years old, McDonald’s was formed in 1940, and has since become the world’s biggest food brand. Ray Kroc is the man who took McDonald’s to a new level after it was founded by the McDonald Bros. As such, some credit him as the man who created the food choose one.

Asa Griggs bought a little chemist called John Stith Pemberton’s company from him when it was just three years old. The name of that company? Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola now sells 1.6 billion drinks a day all across the globe.
