Brand Names

With Buzz

Where’s the Beef?

Before you dive

into our portfolio,

here’s a little taste

of who we are and

why our names

don’t suck.

Super Sticky Names

© 2013 Eat My Words. All rights reserved.

Eat My Words creates love-at-first-sight brand names that make strong emotional connections with consumers and B2B audiences alike. Our highly conceptual names make people feel good because they “get” them. That’s because our names are born out of the familiar. Not linguistic voodoo. Not drunken Scrabble games. Not left-brained “scientific processes.” Imagine having a brand name that is liked by everyone. You. Your team. Your boss. And most importantly, your customers. That’s what you get when you work with us. Just ask our clients…

Serious Fun

© 2013 Eat My Words. All rights reserved.

People who call us are generally not having fun. Yet. We know. You have been trying to get everyone in the company to agree on a name. Enduring endless trademark rejections. And having to make sure your name doesn’t mean something dirty in the Urban Dictionary. We are going to take all of that off your plate and actually make the process fun. Sure, naming is serious business, but it doesn’t mean we can’t have serious fun doing it. Come meet with us in our office full of eye-candy. Take part in our spirited consensus building process. And get ready to have a good time. Even if we are naming a B2B product for you, we have ways of making you laugh.

Our San Francisco office is affectionately named “Candyland.”

 

Who Feeds Us Work  

A name should make you SMILE�instead of SCRATCH�your head.

Our Philosophy

© 2013 Eat My Words. All rights reserved.

SMILE if your brand name has these 5-winning qualities: Suggestive – suggests a positive brand experience Meaningful – your customers instantly "get it" Imagery – visually evocative - creates a mental picture Legs – carries the brand, lends itself to wordplay Emotional – empowers, entertains, engages, enlightens

SCRATCH it off the list if it has any of these deal-breakers: Spelling-challenged – you have to tell people how to spell it Copycat – similar to competitors’ names Random – disconnected from the brand Annoying – hidden meaning, forced Tame – flat, uninspired, boring, non-emotional Curse of Knowledge – only insiders get it Hard-to-pronounce – not obvious, relies on punctuation * Featured in The Wall Street Journal

The SMILE & SCRATCH Test*

*Our signature 12-point name evaluation test has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and Inc.
