Brand strategist needed to create a modern startup name (.com domain required)

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm building a new marketplace platform and am looking for someone with experience in brand naming and brand strategy to help me land on the right name before launch. The platform has a name, but I'm not committed to keeping it. I'm looking for someone who can think strategically and help create a name that people will remember and that can grow into a long-term brand. This is not a logo design project. The primary focus is naming, positioning, and overall brand direction. I'm looking for someone who can take the time to understand the product, target audience, and future vision, then come back with thoughtful recommendations rather than a large list of random name ideas. Ideally, I'd like: 5–15 strong name options with a brief explanation of the thinking behind each one Insight into brand positioning and messaging Consideration for domain availability and potential trademark conflicts (directionally, not formal legal work) Experience platform, hospitality, consumer app, marketplace, or travel-related branding experience is a plus. I prefer clear communication and collaborative feedback throughout the process. If you've helped build brands from the ground up before, please include examples of naming projects you've worked on and explain your process. I'm looking for a name I can confidently build a company around for years to come.
