And perhaps, more importantly, is there a clear organization and hierarchy, so that you impart the correct emphasis to your buying publics? At what level do you use legally defensible names, and when do you go for descriptors? And what short and sweet descriptors embody the right message? Short enough to be used without being abbreviated? Are you naming a new product? Or are you really naming a new product line? And what about sibling products and parent brand names? Does there need to be some connection? Style? Tone? Not only can Brighter Naming come up with new names for you, but we can also create a standard format and help advise you on how to structure your brand levels and names. We have studied this at length, have a lot of experience creating clean new architectures (or fixing old ones), and can leave you with a roadmap of future directions. It's not easy, but with a lot of legal and common law searches, we can often find you a word or structure that gives you lots of room for growth, without reverting to meaningless abbreviations. So often, names in a company are based on history of groups and directions, or the size of the division, or the manager with the most clout, or the marketing guy who is hoeing his own row. Fine. But sooner or later it is costing you - if not in actual losses, then at least in sales confusion, master brand dilution and market growth. This problem can be especially acute in software companies, for example, where products are developed and released at a prolific rate, but the emphasis and target customer has shifted over time. Brighter Naming is the only naming agency in the country headed by someone with two computer science degrees - and his innate systems analysis talents are a powerful organizer here. Especially now that he has years of people management experience to advise you on how to roll this out throughout the organization.

Do
all your product names look like they belong to the same family?
Look like they come from the same seeds and locations. Are they
all unique but similar in style? Legally clean? Is there a strategic
roadmap for introducing new product names as you go forward without
a major naming project?
