Chinese term

公司知名度

Chinese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Question: Why do you recommend this company?
Answer: 雄厚的技术力量及公司知名度

I've seen translations like 'popularity' and 'reputation', but I don't think they are right. Any better suggestions?

Adsion Liu Nov 24, 2007:
I think it's not enough with brand...
Denyce Seow (asker) Nov 24, 2007:
How about 'brand awareness'?
Adsion Liu Nov 24, 2007:
Don't you think it's too heavy and far from the destination of the answer, if you put this expression in? You are strongly recommended to give up sticking to terms in this type, especially trying to make it so "fertile" for a "perfect" semantic effect...
Denyce Seow (asker) Nov 24, 2007:
I could use 'how well known the company is'...

I like "brand awareness." Another way to say it is corporate/company visibility.

BTW, good tranlation often abandons one's teeth on a certain word...
