The job naming consultants is not an easy job. Parents spent months thinking about a name to call their children. So it’s much harder while looking for a new name for your business, because the name that you are searching for doesn’t exist yet. Planning your branding strategy is a must at marketing and brand identity creation.
The name you are looking for doesn’t exist yet, this is your battlefield
There are some facts you have to keep in mind if you want to create an original brand identity. The first one is forgetting all brands that you like. Imitation is the first step to failure; no one wins a game of chess imitating his opponent, you’ll be always late. Originality is crucial, don’t copy. Change your way of thinking, look at your business from different points of view, forget about what you think is cool: Not every parents call their son Brad Pitt. The name you are looking for doesn’t exist yet, this is your battlefield.
