What are some catchy names for a marketing company??

Name my company (25$ or more $$ tip if I like it?)

• I am looking for a name for my future company. The company will be offering branch-network consulting services. This means for example if a company decides to open up new branches,locations,point of sales then we will tell them where to do so. The same applies for branch or location reduction or merger strategies. We are able to tell companies which branches to close, which ones to keep based on client base and potential in the local markets. We are achieving all this through a very analytical / data based approach which is cutom tailored to a company's needs. The product itself is either consulting which can be a board presentations, reports, or it can be a software package enabling our customers to do the analysis themselves. Potential customers include financial services (retail banks, insurances), gas stations, malls/retailers, rental cars and other national companies. Our customers within the companies are high level executives, like head of sales, head of marketing. Competitors are as it seems the large consulting companies and some software companies (which on the other hand only sell instruments but no solutions) I would like as many propositions as possible on how to name my company. The names can.... 1) ...emphasize the consulting part of our business 2) ...emphasize the general IT part of our business (more modern). 3) ...focus on the analytical part of our business. 4) ...explain the benefit for our customers (f.e. "check free" for a company whos products are replacing checks) 5) ...sound great and be positive and professional or 6) that symbolizes what a customer would expect from us. -solutions- 7) ...be integrated into a nice looking logo... 8) ...have a free domain name (would be nice to have) 9) ...be derived from or same style then a competitors names 9) be whatever you think would be appropriate. (This some ideas/wishes what the names can be like) Also please let me know which ones of your proposition are your favorite names - and explain why. In order to answer this question you should be creative and have some experience with names or marketing and creativity etc... In the past I have worked with professionals in this business. Most people think to be creative... so did I, until I met a Pro. I know that I can not expect a Pro in here, but you should be a lot better then average!! What I have seen in here - some(not all) do an excellent job in here with naming products or companies... thats why I give it a try.. If my name is going to be one out of your proposition then there is a +25$ or more tip in for you.(I rather have you then google have the money). Feel free to ask me questions if you need more information. You can also give me an initial selection I tell you what I like so you know what to look for. /and please only answer this question if you think that you are the right person/

  bnc_user, Thanks for the opportunity to focus exclusively on this one. Let's use the question clarification section to continue the dialogue from here. Below are 26 new and unique names, as well as 6 recommendations from those 26 based on your feedback. As for "flock", unfortunately, it has a very different connotation in English - a flock of sheep, or a herd, etc. This seriously strays from the desired connotation of driving a stake into the ground. While there are opportunities to play with the "flock of sheep" connotation, I sense you wouldn’t be willing to explore that side of the English meaning, which, I assure you, is a natural association for most English-speaking individuals. Glad to hear "group" works for you though. I agree it lends a warmer feeling to the traditional consultant nomenclature, and feels more personal. "Partners" is a similar word that I've found works well. Let’s work with both. Below is my latest batch of suggestions: FULL DOMAIN AVAILABILITY: Assertia Group -- .com/.net/.org available Datavolve -- .com/.net/.org available Datavolve Partners -- .com/.net/.org available Datavolve Group -- .com/.net/.org available Evolutia Group -- .com/.net/.org available Evolutia Solutions -- .com/.net/.org available Equilibria Group -- .com/.net/.org available Foundground -- .com/.net/.org available Growthcycle Group -- .com/.net/.org available Newground Group -- .com/.net/.org available Newground Partners -- .com/.net/.org available Newpath Group -- .com/.net/.org available Optima Group -- .com/.net/.org available Advanceground -- .com/.net/.org available Advanceground Group -- .com/.net/.org available Forwardground Partners -- .com/.net/.org available Foreground Group -- .com/.net/.org available Foreground Partners -- .com/.net/.org available Neuplan Group -- .com/.net/.org available Soundground -- .com/.net/.org available Thinkforward Solutions -- .com/.net/.org available The Vollenden Group -- .com/.net/.org available LIMITED DOMAIN AVAILABILITY: Conquest Group -- .net/.org available Dimension Group -- .net available Dimension Partners -- .net/.org available Evolutionpartners -- .net/.org available Equilibrium Group -- .net available Forwardground -- .net/.org available GrowthCycle Partners -- .org available Intellifocus -- .net/.org available Intellivolve -- .org available Prospect Parnters -- .net/.org available Prospect Group -- .org available Panorama Group -- .net/.org available Of the above options, I have selected 6 that may be most appealing to you/your company. For the record, while I am offering suggestions on art work, my preferred logo is simple, elegant and professional text in a font that embodies or shines those three qualities. (You will have to speak to your graphic designer about achieving that aspect though, as well as any design potential for any given name.) PREFERRED NAMES FROM THE FIRST LIST: 1) Optima Group Sound: clean, bright, innovative, precision context, refreshing Meaning: Optimal, desired, efficient Logo Potential: An O is a wonderful letter to have as the first letter of a name, because it is circular, which implies a cycle or completeness. There are many variations on this that a graphic designer can work with. 2) Equilibria Group Sound: scientific, exact, balance Meaning: equilibrium, or striking an efficient balance Logo Potential: Plenty of balancing metaphors, from a scale to parallel axes. You can also have the first "i" and second "i" in the word act as points of light with arrows pointing at them from opposite ends of the word driving inward toward the center of the name. 3) Assertia Group Sound: momentum, control, opportunity Meaning: Modification of assert, with pleasant-sounding suffix Logo Potential: "A" is the company's signature letter. The name is bookended with two "A"s, which affords a nice symmetry to the word that can manifest itself in numerous ways. 4) The Vollenden Group - Sound: Sounds official and distinctive. The "V" sound is unique and the "ll" rolls well. Meaning: Vollenden means "complete" in German Logo Potential: "V" is the signature letter in this name. The double "l"s offer opportunity for symmetrical logowork, perhaps the top and bottom of each "l" expanding to the left and right of the rest of the name along the top and bottom, creating a thin border along only the top and bottom (sides are not enclosed.) In this scenario, the V can extend beyond the border for emphasis. (Or, no border and the "V" can be two arrows or lines pointing down to a foundation.) 5) Neuplan Group Sound: Friendly and familiar name. Pronunciation is "Nooplan", emphasis on the first syllable, so it sounds more like "Nooplen", which rhymes with the "oo" sound in "group". Meaning: Neu is german for "new", so it literally means a new plan - this seems to typically be a reason why companies would engage your services, because they need a new plan to deal with revenue growth or reduction. Logo Potential: The N is the signature letter, along with the G. NG might have some logo potential - the round G with the hard lines of the N. 6) Datavolve Sound: Confident. Intelligent. The "D" is a strong first letter and the signature letter. Meaning: Hard core information (data) combined with the word "evolve", which is innovative growth. Logo Potential: D is an easy letter to emphasize. Again, you can work with the "l" along the top or bottom of the word as a thin border. I imagine a forward lean to this one, emphasizing progress or forward momentum. Those are my preferred names from the top column (total domain availability.) As for the names in the bottom column, there are some compelling suggestions (e.g., Prospect Group; Conquest Group; Intellivolve, etc), but I will not elaborate on them unless you state that you are comfortable not having access to the .com domain for any of these. I look forward to your thoughts/concerns/clarifications so we can narrow down this list and/or find a new set of names to focus on. Best, Rippo
