Naming Expertise

San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge – Ever noticed it is Cisco’s logo… as that is where the name came from? And why is it called Golden Gate when it is red and not gold color?

Founded in the heart of Silicon Valley, in San Francisco’s South Bay Area in beautiful northern California, we are naturally strong in the hardware and software technical and scientific fields. This has a strong roll-over effect into industrial fields. Will your other potential agencies even really understand your subject matter?

Until our recent move,  we could walk to Google, ride our bicycle to Intuit and Yahoo, or zip over to Intel, H-P, AMD, Apple, Cisco, Oracle, Cadence, Adobe, Genetech, Facebook or eBay in 15 minutes by car.

At the same time we have now built up strong expertise in financial, retail, medical, healthcare and other consumer fields as these customers discovered our fast process that starts with a long list of provisionally available names. We use a naming team spread across the USA, Canada and Europe, with many different skills and backgrounds. All our namers have multiple language skills. All have worked and traveled around the world. All have an innate sense of image, marketing and the beauty and comfort in a smooth name that embraces the company’s management personality and brand values.
