I have watched so many of these videos. They all explain the same thing as if every person watching learns the same way. Not a single one has bothered to make a 'walk through' video, taking viewers along the process while they plan out a brand name for a fictitious business. Some times, seeing it being done communicates way more than just hearing the steps/points laid out.

[@ecomamaadmin3328]

Point clear with example of Fluffy vs Killer!

[@mmazz414]

Love this! Although audio levels were a bit strange, just to let you know!

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

You can do it! 👍👍👍👍

[@luwilw7809]

Thanks man! Really helpful

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

No problem!

[@gepettowins]

good video but I was looking for tips on how to actually go about the brainstorming process, especially when I hit a dead end (e.g. things i've tried: brainstorming brand attributes, then word lists, looking at synonyms etc.). if you did a video on that, i'd definitely watch it!

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Cheers Brendan..Noted.... we go deep on these processes in our programs too

[@CapeCoralFloridaWaterfront]

Do you offer this as a service, and if so, how much do you charge?

[@lilimxprice]

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Thank you 🙏

[@yaskayy]

thanks!

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Welcome!

[@ranti1973]

what do you think about using a very common name for a brand like the word "water" (given it's containing all the brand's values inside) is it even allowed?

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

You have to be careful... You have to think of the URL and trademark and consider the sector youre operating in.

[@diegoyonamine8943]

Good Content

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@hansa7509]

how much should one charge for a gig where they have to ideate 15 brand names for a company ? I got this gig and looking for as much insight as there is

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

It depends on your experience and processes... Some namers charge upwards of $20k.... Brand naming is a detailed process and quite often you will have more than 15 possible names... Be careful to avoid scope creep through the decision making process... Requesting 15 names is a red flag

[@razall9990]

Is it advisable to name a brand with a famous movie name ?

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

It can throw up challenges... e.g. if the name of your brand is Back To The Future... there's be a lot of explaining to do

[@bipulbiswas8335]

Need a brand name for RICE FLAKES & PUFFED RICE. Plz plz plz rply. M from INDIA.

[@1derfulpete]

Is it ok for a brand name to have three syllables? There should be many examples of such.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Of course... as long as it's memorable

[@nicholasmcgrath1521]

Marty Neumier (probably butchered the spelling lol) I've read just about all of his books on branding (highly recommend you do the same) but he mentions numerous times that 4 or less syllables is one of the main attributes of a perfect brand name. If there's more, that's not a deal breaker, but ideally it has 4 or less.
