Brand Naming
As an extension of our brand strategy work, we offer naming services to generate memorable product and business names that reflect a company’s core values and attributes, connect with its audiences, and generate positive ROI.
In any naming project, we take the following steps:
Brand Assessment
Strong names track back to strong positioning statements, which also serve as an evaluation tool during the final selection process. We’ll assess the strength of your current brand positioning and make adjustments as necessary.
Competitive Overview
We’ll evaluate your industry to identify naming trends and find creative opportunities to stand out.
Creative Brainstorming
We’ll brainstorm names in different naming categories, ranging from the descriptive to the evocative. The result will be a list of potential names, between 25 and 100 depending on the circumstances.
Guided Evaluation
Working with your company’s decision makers, we’ll narrow down the list of names and provide a methodical framework for evaluating the strength of each against key performance indicators. Our goal is to move the naming discussion from the subjective and personal (e.g., “I like it” or “I don’t like it”) to the objective and strategic.
Rework and Refine
We will refine name selections based on input from your team as well as feedback from your trademark attorneys.
Note: Names that we present to clients will have undergone basic prescreening via Google, Trademarkia.com, and the USPTO trademark database. Comprehensive trademark searches are the responsibility of the client’s trademark attorneys (we can make recommendations).
