Everything from your logotype to the company mission statement and identity -
we will help you tailor the way in which consumers perceive your brand, and combine this with your custom marketing campaign
to create brand loyalty and awareness. Our branding and naming experts provide a complete offering, including emotional and rational brand benefits,
target audience identification, point-of-difference development and a naming structure for related product lines.
We determine the core foundation behind the brand - the opportunity it presents to potential clients, the positioning and target markets and to whom the brand might appeal, and the overall theme behind bringing the products to market.
|
Architecture is the layout of the brand offering - determine if the client will use a stand-alone name or family/system of names for related products; target markets and audience segmentation into brand groups, offering media such as internet, traditional print, television, radio, etc .
|
This is the actual naming process, considering a variety of word roots, associations, word types, literal and intuitive naming, and technical factors such as pronounciation, linguistic meaning, trademark and copyright factors.

I. Client meeting: overview of the factors considered
II. overview of the timeline and work items
III-A: kickoff meeting
2 hour work session to explore brand identity of client company, determine overall marketing direction, scope of the project, expectations and timeframe
III-B: construct creative brief
this document will outline the following:
- competitive landscape
- domain name criteria
- emotional criteria
- target market
III-C: long list
We will initially create a list of up to 700 potential names and screen these into a short list of 20 names. This is the "creative" part of the process so it is the least defined, but it is where we differenciate ourselves as a premier vendor of top quality branding.
III-D: short list of 20 potential names, along with information about each name:
- word type: dictionary, hybrid, combined
- variety - descriptive, intuitive, associative, abstract or pun
- root origin - English, Spanish, gaelic, archaic greek, asian, etc
- syllable count
III-D: final screening - the 3 final names chosen will undergo the following screening:
- trademark screening - determine which countries this name may already be trademarked in, which depends on target market
- linguistic screening - determine what positive and negative connotations this name has in various target markets and related markets
- domain screening - is the exact desired domain available or a variant acceptable to the client
