Naming
Meaningful? Unique? Defensible? There's a lot that goes into making your name and rightfully so, it's your most important brand asset.
It was a highly collaborative process that enabled us to experiment with a wide variety of ideas and to incorporate findings quickly.

Naming
Meaningful? Unique? Defensible? There's a lot that goes into making your name and rightfully so, it's your most important brand asset.
Why would I need this?
Your name is your most important brand asset - it doesn’t need design and it travels freely. However developing an incredible name is both an art and a science - with legal, cultural and creative challenges.
How does it work?
Workshops & discovery
Typically we’ll open discussions with a divergent workshop that is both part investigative and exploratory. Names are generated, fears are laid bare and we define what success looks like by dissecting the goal of your brand name.
Brainstorms
Often a multi-staged process, with hundreds to thousands of words pushed into a working space. Here they are wrung through the first round of viability tests, both objective (such as domain availability) and subjective (inferred meanings, typographic visualisation, cultural interpretation and more).
Finalists
The top names are taken through socialisation and a general airing - being pulled around both by your team and ours. Legal checks are carried out (either by our team or with our legal partners) as well as marketing pressure-testing.
Trademark applications and finalisation
The final name is selected and with that we either introduce our legal partners for local and international trademarking, or allow you to pursue it yourself.
