Four thoughts on Naming and Copywriting

1. Think long-term. A name should flex with your future ambitions, not fight them

2. Be objective. Personal bias kills good ideas - criteria matter more than gut reactions.

3. Do the checks. Linguistic and legal due diligence avoids costly mistakes and cultural misfires.

4. Budget for impact. Naming isn’t just creative - it’s operational, legal, and reputational. Plan accordingly.

FAQ

Got questions? Feel free to reach out. Happy to help.

How do you approach a naming or copywriting project?

We always start with strategic grounding. Then we identify emotional and functional drivers - what the brand wants people to feel, think and do. From this, we define the tone of voice framework and develop name recommendations or copy across key formats. We work with specialist naming experts who understand the process, pitfalls and the ever-complex legalities and trademarks.

How much does it cost?

Great question. Costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. It’s not global agency pricing, but it’s certainly a step up from offshore freelance rates - reflecting the depth, experience, and strategic value.

Do you work on your own or with others?

It depends. I mostly work in partnership with creative and brand specialists and we built a team based on the needs of each project. I have a trusted global network of Associates - some of the most experienced minds in creativity, brand strategy, architecture, and digital implementation.

Can I get a proposal for work?

Absolutely. Send me an email to gedequi@me.com or through LinkedIn with your project scope and I will be happy to help and advise. Absolutely no obligations of course.
