Brand Naming: The Complete Guide to Creating a Name for Your Company, Product, or Service by Rob Meyerson

ABOUT THE BOOK:

You don't have a brand—whether it's for a company or a product—until you have a name.

The name is one of the first, longest-lasting, and most important decisions in defining the identity of a company, product, or service.

But set against a tidal wave of trademark applications, mortifying mistranslations, and disappearing dot-com availability, you won't find a good name by dumping out Scrabble tiles.

Brand Naming details best-practice methodologies, tactics, and advice from the world of professional naming. You'll learn:

• What makes a good (and bad) name
• The step-by-step process professional namers use
• How to generate hundreds of name ideas
• The secrets of whittling the list down to a finalist

The most complete and detailed book about naming your brand, Brand Naming includes insider anecdotes, tired trends, brand origin stories, and busted myths.

Whether you need a great name for a new company or product or want to learn the secrets of professional word nerds, put down the thesaurus—not to mention Scrabble—and pick up Brand Naming.
