To help you see through smoke and mirrors, enticing sales
pitches, and linguistic mumbo jumbo, here is a buck naked
apples-to-apples comparison of names created by 25 naming
and branding firms, including Eat My Words. Have a look, then
contact the companies that create the style of names that you
and your team collectively like.
While you review the work of each firm, ask yourself these
questions:
1. Does the company have a creative name that sets them apart
in a sea of sameness? (If this the best they could do for their
most important naming client, themselves, how creative will they
be for you?)
2. Do you like their names just because you recognize them, or
truly because you think they are great names?
3. How many of their names can you pronounce, spell, and
imagine yourself getting as a tattoo?
4. Looking at their website, what do their clients say about
them?
5. If the company were a book, would I want to read it?
Naming Names: An apples-to-apples look at
brand names created by 25 naming firms.
