Most smart building & proptech startups rely on placeholder AI brands. And the real damage shows up where it hurts most: Investors hesitate to take them seriously. Deals are lost to less capable competitors with stronger perception. Their innovation becomes difficult to communicate clearly. What happens then is this: - Deals start slipping - Market trust weakens - Growth loses momentum But there’s another path: A brand that communicates authority before the first meeting. A brand that attracts partners, investors, and multiple deals. A brand positioned to stand out in this competitive market. That’s what I build for smart building & proptech companies across North America. Strategic Branding has created consistent wins for my clients: • AccelNet → 4X revenue growth in year one • SiFly → $13M raised post-branding • Evident Source → largest partnership secured in 60 days • Della → 100+ paying customers in 6 months • NEX → scaled operations and expanded team growth If you’re building in: - Smart Buildings - PropTech - IoT - Infrastructure Technology - Real Estate Innovation And your company is entering a critical stage.. fundraising, scaling or category positioning

Hi, my name's Phil. Welcome to my profile. The best names do more than inform; they create the perfect first impression, entice you to discover more, tell a story, and capture a vision. They become the cornerstone of your identity. Finding that knockout name can be one of the most important and challenging stages in the life of a business. Does it have to say everything? Can it say nothing? And just when you think you’ve cracked it, there is the frustration of discovering the domain has already been taken! Drawing on my experience as a former advertising creative, I know how to get to the heart of your business story and create original naming strategies. This helps me craft names that are unique to you, memorable for your customers, and domain frustration-free! Feel free to get in touch, and let's get started on your knockout name! WHAT I DELIVER: Knowledge before naming - I will research your category and competition. Name checks - All names will be .com available (Trademark checked if required.) Names with meaning - Each name will be presented with its thinking. Names from the brain - All names will be 100% original, not AI-generated. Extra names - Revision options included. SEO-friendly names: I always try to use simple, category-relevant words. You name it! - Naming, consultancy, social media handles, taglines, headlines. HOW I WORK: 1. You send me a brief description of your requirements. 2. I will then send you a contract proposal outlining a price, timings and any follow-up questions. 3. You can agree to the proposal or request amendments (I’m super flexible). 4. We then begin!
