Naming

Naming: Brand Naming

A sub-brand or spin-off has to establish its own identity while still making strategic sense next to whatever it sits under or beside, a narrower needle to thread than naming a business from scratch.

Challenges

Naming: Brand Naming

01

What you are commissioning

We generate wide across distinct territories, then narrow against the brief, pronunciation, and how it reads in the market it's launching into.

Companies we’ve worked with

A few familiar faces

Our process

From the first conversation to delivery.

01

Understand

We put together a brief specific to this brand's role and relationship to any parent or sibling brands.

02

Create

We generate names across distinct territories and narrow to a shortlist.

03

Deliver

We screen the shortlist for domain, social, and preliminary trademark risk.

FAQ

Before we get started.

Does the new brand need to sound related to our parent company?

That depends on strategy. Sometimes closeness builds trust, sometimes distance is the point. We help decide which fits.

How many name options will we see?

Typically a shortlist of six to ten cleared names, narrowed from a much larger initial list.
