Challenges we solve
One name.
Many stories.
A name is the anchor of your brand. It carries strategy, sparks emotion, and sets the tone for everything that follows. Done right, it’s not just a label — it’s the starting point of recognition and growth.

Generic names fade. We craft ones that stand out and stick.

FAQ

When do Berkeley businesses need naming?
Launching a company, product, or sub-brand. Berkeley's competitive market — especially biotech, food, and tech — demands names that are memorable, domain-available, and trademark-clearable. For UC spinoffs, names must also work in academic publication contexts and investor decks.
What's included in the Berkeley naming process?
Strategic brief, 50-100+ candidates generated, filtered for domains and trademarks, shortlist of 5-10 with rationale. Berkeley clients get names screened for unintended meanings across the city's international academic community.
How long does brand naming take?
2-4 weeks for focused sprints. Complex sub-brand systems need 4-6 weeks.
What affects naming project costs?
Candidate volume, research depth, and trademark screening level. Single name costs less than multi-brand naming system. Preliminary screening included; full legal clearance through your attorney.
How do you check availability?
Domain (.com and alternatives), US trademark database, social handles, and web search conflicts.
Do you screen for international academic contexts?
Yes — critical for Berkeley. Names must work in scientific publications, international conferences, and across languages spoken by UC Berkeley's global community. We check candidates for unintended meanings in major languages.
How do you present names?
Each shortlisted name with one-page rationale. Structured presentation, not a brainstorm.
What happens after choosing?
Recommendation report with rationale, domain guidance, and trademark filing next steps.
