The Naming & Branding Manifesto

10 Show Me, Don’t Tell Me.

Great names demonstrate your brand positioning. Weak names force you to explain your brand positioning, and that’s called advertising. It is very expensive, and not nearly as effective as demonstrating. Bear this in mind when considering the cost of a naming project; money saved now may cost you much more in future advertising expenses.

The best product and company names require the least advertising, because they are advertisements in and of themselves.
