Company, Product, and Service Naming
A proven process for creating ownable options
A proven process for creating ownable options
At Bryant Brown, we’ve created a proprietary process to make naming more positive and productive. We call it the “5 S Test.”
1. Sell
The name must be on strategy. It must reflect the brand positioning and strategic direction of the organization.
2. Say
Is the name easy to pronounce? If it’s unwieldy, it’s doomed.
3. Spell
It’s on strategy and you can say it, but do you have to spell it every time? That gets annoying quickly.
4. Smell
Okay, so the name is strategic, pronounceable, and doesn’t have to be spelled every time. Is it good? Or does it stink? You can say it, but can you say it with a straight face and without embarrassment?
5. Search
Copyrighting is the final test. A name can meet all of the above criteria, but if your legal counsel can’t secure clearance, you can’t proceed safely.
Following are just a few of the many brand names we’ve created for clients:
