Brand Name
The brand name is an important point of contact. It should trigger a feeling for the brand, convey an idea of the performance – and stick.
What is Naming?
Naming is the development of a brand name that designates an organization, product, product portfolio or service. The brand name does not have to correspond to the name of a company, as a single company can have several brands.In order to be able to use a brand name exclusively and without restriction, the brand must be legally registered in the trademark register. In Germany, the German Patent and Trademark Office handles the protection of a brand name.
REQUIREMENTS
Finding a name that is not too generic, not too cipher, not too trendy, and not yet taken can bog down the entire branding process.
Criteria that a good brand name should meet.
Differentiating
We develop brand names that attract the attention of the target group and create curiosity for more.
Timeless
We develop brand names that are memorable, survive trends and do not soon seem outdated.
Linguistically sustainable
When developing brand names, we keep their meaning in other languages in mind.
Strategically sound
We develop brand names that convey a feeling and an inkling of the brand promise.
Legally available
We develop a brand name that meets the requirements for trademark registration.
Easy to pronounce
We develop brand names that are easy to pronounce so that they are passed on in conversation.
Concise
We develop brand names that are as short as possible. They stick better, are easier to Google and visualize.
Adaptable
Our brand names grow with your brand – into new markets or as products or services are added.
Why is a good brand name important?
Even before the target group knows anything about a brand, they form an image based on the name alone. Therefore, it is important to give the brand a timeless and concise name. Above all, it should arouse curiosity to learn more about the brand. Personal recommendation, i.e. word of mouth, is also a marketing channel that should not be underestimated. A good, concise brand name is therefore worth its weight in gold in affluent societies.

When do you need professional naming?
As an elementary part of branding, it is important to communicate a name that is convincing and secured – from the very beginning. Provisional brand names can cost companies dearly. If the brand name is changed at an inopportune moment because it does not support the brand strategy or is already being used elsewhere, this is associated with high communication costs.
The first step in the naming process: briefing
In order for a brand name to correspond to the brand, pay off on the brand strategy and appeal to the target group, it is important to define the brand strategy fundamentals in advance.
