Finding and choosing the best name for your brand

My core business is finding and creating brand names: individual brand names with lasting value and significant future potential. As every product and company and client is unique and special, it's not about "one size fits all", but "made to measure is king". My job is not to create a universally good (whatever that might be) name, that fulfills all possible criteria. My job is to define what type of name will help you most, to create a huge array of name stock, and to pick the right name together with you. The right name is a name which serves your marketing requirements best, be it a descriptive term, a totally spaced out brand name or a pretty pun.

Werner Brandl provided branding services for a European B2B platform. The team helped the client create a new name, leading to a full rebrand of their platform company.

The new name created by Werner Brandl helped the client win over customers and improve brand awareness. The team delivered an inclusive process and an extremely nuanced selection of top candidate name options. Werner Brandl synthesized deep creation with executive-level capability.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I had responsibility for the project on the Executive Board of the client company, one of Europe's leading B2B platforms. Our platform and integrated marketplace connects B2B and public sector buyers with suppliers, enabling efficient, sustainable sourcing and purchasing across Europe.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Werner Brandl?

We needed help for a most critical step in our rebranding process, specifically the name creation. The stakes were high, we went all-in to rename our platform business across all our European operations to the new name.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Werner Brandl helped us create that new name for our B2B platform. The goal was to establish that new name as a sub-brand and later transform it into our new top-level company brand. Werner Brandl guided us through the entire name creation process, focusing on ideation, evaluation, and the final decision of the future name for our established 600-employee company.

What is the team composition?

We worked directly with Werner Brandl on that project.

How did you come to work with Werner Brandl?

We chose Werner Brandl because they were a great culture fit, and their company values aligned perfectly with ours.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together in January 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

After deciding on the new sub-brand name, it proved so magnetic and powerful to internal and external stakeholders that we went for the full company rebranding. Now, we're repositioned as the leading European B2B platform.

We went all in on placing our bets on Werner Brandl's creative consulting, and we won big. Our metrics went up, but brand awareness saw the most significant improvement. We also noticed improved recognition in the industry. It's a rare art among pure-internet B2B businesses to create a brand with a deep identity and authentic emotional quality, where the brand directly reflects the company values. With the new brand that Werner Brandl helped us create, we hit the jackpot. Every employee identifies with it; the URL even reads like a manifesto itself. That was an immensely powerful decision that shaped the future of our company.

How did Werner Brandl perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicated in person.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their guidance throughout the ideation process was extremely valuable. They delivered an inclusive process and an extremely nuanced selection of top candidate name options. Werner Brandl guided us in selecting the most powerful candidate. Name creation is a fundamentally creative process. The more creative it is, the less structured it is. You need extreme sensitivity, experience, and intuition to generate a naming solution that can later unfold true power and guide top management to such a critical decision. Werner Brandl guided our whole company through all levels, including me as the responsible person from the executive board, to a new brand name that fit our company like a hand-tailored suit.

Overall, Werner Brandl synthesized deep creation at work with executive-level capability to manage us as a client and board.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, Werner Brandl plays in a league of their own.

The collaboration between Summa and Werner has been goingoing for over twenty years. During this time, we have worked on several naming projects together, receiving creative ideas for names and also feedback on name proposals made by Summa. We have also organized and conducted several focus groups to gain more information on possible car names. The results of these focus groups helped to make better decisions on names that would appeal to a wide audience in Europe.

For a long-term client of Summa, a screw manufacturer, Summa did a brand consulting project. Several brands had been acquired over the last years, and they wanted to find out if and how brand convergence was an option; and also, how brand perception and profile had changed. In 2024, I supported Summa by conducting interviews on site with employees of building materials businesses in Bavaria. A subsequent summary recommendations supported Summa make the right decisions.

What Sets Us Apart

Open Mind - Open Results

There is no pattern, there is no general goal except for one: find what helps you most. In most cases, this is a fitting and great name. However, if a (new) name will not solve your problem, we will tell you so. Useless projects are not what we are in it for.

One central brain

Your project is taken care of by one central brain. Everything is managed, coordinated, put together in Werner Brandl's head. The general manager is your central contact, and your personal project manager.

Fully specialized

My agency specializes in brand names – and nothing else. It's not a division, a department, a full-service agency, or anything like that. We do not do logos, we do not improve the pagerank of your website. We only cater for names. Period.
