Hello, My Name Is Awesome

How to Create Brand Names That Stick

De: Alexandra Watkins

Narrado por: Gina Sorell

Every year, six million companies and more than 100,000 products are launched. They all need an awesome name, but many (such as Xobni, Svbtle, and Doostang) look like the results of a drunken Scrabble game. In this entertaining and engaging book, ace naming consultant Alexandra Watkins explains how anyone - even noncreative types - can create memorable and buzz-worthy brand names. No degree in linguistics required. The heart of the book is Watkins's proven SMILE and SCRATCH Test - two acronyms for what makes or breaks a name. She also provides up-to-date advice, like how to make sure that Siri spells your name correctly and how to nab an available domain name. And you'll see dozens of examples - the good, the bad, and the "so bad she gave them an award". Alexandra Watkins is not afraid to name names.

Recommend

It’s short and to the point
Appreciated the author offering a pov from her lens of how she came up with a name for a client. It was more than just use google and a dictionary method. There’s some fluff but defiantly the brainstorm chapter that’s really worth it the investment.

Required reading for anyone trying to name a business or product.

It's a quick read but full of actionable advice on naming a company or product.

If you have anything to do with naming a business, side-gig, product, etc. I highly recommend reading it.
