The sharpest needle from every haystack.
The right name exposes and magnifies the essence of your brand. The process of crafting the right name is fundamentally a deep dive into uncovering, unmasking, defining that very essence.
Free association and brainstorm are a cursory start. [Sometimes the answer is obvious. More often, the answer just seems obvious.]
Deep below the surface, outside of perceived range, tangential, unexpected places offer the raw, uncut gems that hold the sparks of possibility. Delving, questioning, scratching, digging, coaxing, smashing at it, slicing it up. Like archeology. Like aerial photography. The X-ray and the snapshot. The reflection and the mirror.
Immersing in it from every possible angle is very intimate. And very enlightening. A process that must be undertaken without judgement and without fear in order to carry on, to follow every thread to its end, to exhaust every notion to its conclusion.
After the dirty work — the hunting and gathering, the drilling and tunneling — comes a frolicking mess. Flipping words, switching letters, inverting, mashing up, chopping down, adding and subtracting, substituting, deconstructing, reformatting to find the most expressive, the most resonant, the most defining combination of letters and sounds imaginable.
And, playful as it is, this too is methodical. Everything with everything, every possible combination considered.
Expansive up to now, the next phase takes a harsh turn. Getting from the no-limits masterlist to a shortlist of plausible contenders requires merciless winnowing. Rigorous culling. Relentless adherence to strategic alignment: is this the right name?
