This week on Brand Builder, we’re talking about one of the most important aspects of your brand, yet one that so often ends up being accidental, un-strategic, or even an afterthought.

The name.

Whether it’s your brand or a new SKU or product, a name is the ultimate first impression. And if you do it right, a name can do a lot of work for you—set a tone or mood, impart critical information, or communicate a core value.

To tell us how to do it right and choose a name for maximum brand recall, we’ve got Aaron Hall, the Group Director of Naming at Siegel+Gale.

Aaron has one of the coolest jobs in the world—he’s a professional namer.

We talk to Aaron about all things naming and go deep into his process to find the perfect name.
