Delivering your strategic brand name with complete trademark protection so you can stand out and scale with security.

What’s in a name? Your reputation.

After 16+ years in the branding industry, I’ve seen too many businesses struggle with a brand name that confuses ideal clients, gets lost in the market, or leads to a tragic cease and desist because someone, somewhere, is already using it. Ooph. 

The worst part of the struggle? It could all be avoided.

I collaborate with an amazing attorney (who you’ll meet during our work together) to deliver 3 unique, legally sound brand names designed to differentiate your business and connect with the clients you want. You select the name that’s best for you, and we complete trademark registration so that name stays yours, forever.

FAQ

  • The only way to legally protect your brand name and ensure no other organization can use it in your category of business is to register an official trademark with the USPTO.

    It is highly recommended that any business protect their name to ensure the reputation you work hard to build remains yours.

  • All attorney fees associated with the research, clearance, and registration of your trademark are included in this package. The United States Trademark and Patent Office does charge a fee of $350 per class to process a trademark application which will be paid directly to their office. (We will help you do that!)

  • While we will provide visual design ideas to accompany our name suggestions, we recommend embarking on a full brand foundation and design project to build the positioning, messaging, and design that will bring your chosen brand name to life.

  • We’ll test and clear many names on the path to presenting the top 3 we believe best represent your mission and resonate with your audience.

    If none of those feel quite right, this package includes 1 additional revised name. If we need to explore even more options, we’re happy to add on for an additional investment.
