Welcome to episode 5 of the Branding With Jade podcast.
In this episode we’ll be talking about the evolution of how my own brand name came about. And I’ll also be giving tangible tips and advice on how to come up with your own brand name.
IN THIS EPISODE I’LL BE SHARING:
- The story of how my own brand came to be – including the very cringe worthy beginnings.
- Tips for choosing your brand name.
HERE’S WHERE YOU’LL FIND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS:
>> [5:18] – what the hell should you name your brand? A look at some of the names I’ve used in the past…
>> [14:31] – the importance of knowing who you are when it comes to naming your brand.
>> [15:53] – understanding brand purpose and brand criteria.
>> [17:49] – the importance of knowing and understanding who your ideal client is.
>> [22:05] – knowing your niche and why this is also important when it comes to naming your brand.
>> [24:54] – now that you know all the important aspects to take into consideration, you can start thinking about your name. At this point I take you through some different types of names you could use. For example – descriptive, metaphors, mashups, key attributes and more.
>> [27:01] – a more in depth look at how I came up with my Aussie Adventuress brand name.
>> [30:34] – how sometimes it can be more beneficial to just use your own name if you’re not certain about a name.
>> [30:52] – consider who you’re inspired by and what they use and why you’re drawn to them. As this would be a strong indicator of what your audience will be drawn to as well.
