Brand naming isn’t just about choosing a name that sounds good; it’s about creating an identity that stands for something bigger. The name is often the first interaction people have with your brand, and it needs to resonate emotionally, culturally, and strategically.
Research shows that 77% of consumers make purchasing decisions based on a brand name alone. A great name has the power to communicate the essence of your business in a split second—it’s not just a label; it’s a promise. Whether you're building a startup or rebranding an established business, your name has to reflect who you are, what you stand for, and why you're different.
At Alitestar, we recognize the weight of this responsibility. We don’t just brainstorm names; we craft names that tell stories, resonate with your target audience, and fit seamlessly into your broader brand strategy.
When you work with Alitestar, you’re not just paying for a name—you’re paying for a strategic asset that sets your business apart. Here’s what our naming process looks like:
In-depth Discovery: We begin with a deep dive into your brand. We ask the tough questions: Who are you? What do you stand for? Who’s your competition, and how can we differentiate you? This brand discovery phase ensures that every name concept is rooted in your brand strategy.
Research and Vetting: A name isn't effective if it's not available or culturally appropriate. We conduct extensive market research, ensuring the name doesn’t clash with competitors or create confusion. We also handle linguistic testing for international brands, ensuring the name works across languages and cultures.
Creative Exploration: Here's where the magic happens. Our creative team generates a range of name options based on your brand positioning. From functional names that describe what you do to abstract names that make you memorable, we explore it all, ensuring each name aligns with your brand identity.
Final Deliverable: You’ll receive a curated list of names, each with its own story, meaning, and strategic rationale. We walk you through the naming options, ensuring you feel confident in your decision.
This is where Alitestar shines—we don’t just give you a name; we give you a brand story.
3. Expectations and Deliverables: The Alitestar Experience
Working with Alitestar is a collaborative journey. From the moment we start, you’ll be involved in every phase. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: We kick things off with a detailed meeting to understand your vision. Whether you're naming a new venture or rebranding an existing one, this phase ensures we’re aligned.
Interactive Sessions: You’ll receive multiple rounds of name options, feedback, and revisions. We believe in a back-and-forth process to make sure the final name is something you’re excited about.
Brand Story Development: Once the name is finalized, we help you build a compelling narrative around it. From taglines to mission statements, we ensure your name becomes a core part of your messaging.
The goal is for you to walk away with not just a name but an entire brand framework.
Let’s talk about investment. At Alitestar, we offer different pricing tiers based on the scope and complexity of the project. Here’s a general breakdown:

Why do we charge what we do? Because naming is foundational. It’s not something you want to get wrong. Think of the brand names that stick in your mind: Nike, Google, Apple.
