Your name and positioning decide whether a buyer gets it in three seconds or scrolls past. Brand naming and brand strategy for companies and products, pressure-tested against trademark, domain and audience data before you commit. I don't brainstorm names. I engineer them. Most clients message me at one of three moments: pre-launch, when the team has brainstormed for weeks, and every name anyone loves is taken, trademarked, or missing its .com. During expansion, when the name that fit the first product or market starts blocking the next (it won't stretch to the new line, doesn't travel to the new country, or just drew a trademark objection). Or decision time, when there's a shortlist and a divided room, and someone needs certainty before the name goes on everything. Whichever moment it is, the problem is the same. A name is the first thing your customers will ever come across, and one of the only brand decisions you can't quietly undo. It's why renaming the Patagonian toothfish "Chilean sea bass" turned an unwanted fish into a premium menu item worldwide. Same fish. Different name. Millions in sales. I'm Gábor. I name and position brands, companies, and products for founders and teams who treat the name as a business asset, not an afterthought. Names born here include Whip Wipes, The Mindful Flamingo, Peaclock, Easybits, and The Wheelie Cool Brand, across health & wellness, tech, consumer goods, hospitality, gaming, and medical. Expert-Vetted (top 1% on Upwork), 100% Job Success, 730+ hours of engagements. Ex-Brand Manager, DC Universe and Star Wars. WHERE STRATEGY COMES IN Much of my work starts before the name: positioning, brand architecture, messaging and go-to-market. A name is a strategic decision that happens to be creative. Not a clever idea you try to make strategic afterward. That's how I was trained to run brands at P&G and Hasbro. Global Brand Manager for the DC Universe toy portfolio at Spin Master (Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash), working directly with Warner Bros. on licensing and franchise strategy. Associate Brand Manager on Star Wars at Hasbro. Agency lead on Mastercard and PLAY Airlines. Brand and demand generation at Vodafone and P&G. If the name is fine but the story around it isn't landing, that's a positioning problem, and it's usually the one worth solving first. THE 5 TESTS EVERY NAME MUST PASS - Memorability. Great names stick in people's minds. - Relevance. The name aligns with your brand's values, personality and industry. - Uniqueness. It avoids generic terms and overused buzzwords, and creates real distinctiveness. - Scalability. It grows with the brand. - Protectability. A name you can own: passes trademark checks, has an available domain, and isn't already widely used in your industry. HOW IT WORKS - We start with onboarding, so I understand your brand and your commercial goals inside out. - I analyze your competitors, target audience, category conventions and where the white space actually is. - Then generation: word combinations, prefixes, suffixes, translations, alliteration, coined forms, and the judgment that decides between them. - We filter against the five tests, then screen for trademark conflicts and domain availability. - We test with your target audience to confirm the name lands the way we intend. - You get a curated shortlist with strategic rationale and a clear recommendation. "Can't I just ask AI?" Sure, it will hand you 100 names in ten seconds, and roughly 98 will be taken, legally risky, or strategically wrong. Knowing which two aren't is the job. HOW WE WORK TOGETHER - Naming and strategy projects run on fixed-price scopes. See my project catalog or message me. My hourly rate applies to consulting and advisory work. - I don't offer unlimited revisions. I follow a proven methodology designed to get it right, with revision rounds built in. Your name is either opening doors or quietly closing them. Let's make sure it's the former. Start with a 60-minute consultation and the fee is credited toward your naming project. Or message me your industry, audience, and what the name needs to achieve. I typically reply within a few hours. Specialties: brand naming - business names - company naming - product naming - app names - brand positioning - brand strategy - taglines & slogans - naming strategy - unique brand name ideas - trademark search - domain name research - brand name validation - messaging architecture - go-to-market strategy - competitive analysis
