    Be Unstoppable.

    Founded on the chutzpah of a young woman who started an agency when women didn't do that kind of thing. An agency that's grown on the talent of a team confident in the power of great ideas. People who get a rush from watching clients succeed. An agency that knows the size of an idea has little to do with the size of a budget and has enough respect for the profession to say "no" when "yes" would be so much easier. An agency with a good head for business, strong hands for big challenges, and a big heart for clients and causes that deserve to win. And enough conscience to back away from projects that fail to serve people or the planet. An agency that thrives on imagination, ingenuity and inspiration.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Brand names play a crucial role in shaping consumer perception and behavior, especially in a diverse and trend-setting market like Los Angeles. Here's how a well-crafted brand name can make a significant impact:

  1. First Impressions: In the fast-paced LA environment, a brand name often serves as the initial point of contact between a company and its potential customers. A memorable and appealing name can instantly capture attention and create a positive first impression.
  2. Cultural Resonance: Los Angeles is a melting pot of cultures. Brand names that resonate with the city's diverse population can create stronger connections. For example, names that reflect the Hispanic heritage or incorporate elements of Hollywood glamour might resonate well with specific segments of the LA market.
  3. Emotional Connection: A carefully chosen brand name can evoke specific emotions or associations. In image-conscious LA, names that convey luxury, innovation, or eco-friendliness can align with consumer values and lifestyle aspirations.
  4. Memorability and Recall: With the multitude of brands competing for attention in LA, a unique and catchy name helps in brand recall. This is particularly important in a city where billboards, digital ads, and word-of-mouth marketing are prevalent.
  5. Purchase Decisions: According to a study by the Journal of Consumer Research, brand names that are easier to pronounce are more likely to be chosen by consumers. In a diverse city like LA, this underscores the importance of choosing a name that's accessible to a wide audience.
  6. Price Perception: The brand name can influence how consumers perceive the value of a product or service. In LA's luxury markets, sophisticated or foreign-sounding names might command premium pricing, while in more casual markets, approachable names might suggest affordability.
  7. Social Media Traction: In the social media-savvy LA market, a brand name that's hashtag-friendly and easy to share can significantly boost organic reach and engagement.
  8. Local Identity: Brand names that incorporate local LA landmarks, neighborhoods, or cultural references can create a sense of local pride and belonging among consumers.

To illustrate the impact of brand naming, consider this comparison:

Brand Name Characteristic Example Potential Impact in LA Market
Local Reference 'Sunset Boulevard Smoothies' Creates local connection, easy recall for LA residents
Aspirational 'Stardust Cosmetics' Aligns with LA's entertainment industry, appeals to glamour-seeking consumers
Eco-Friendly 'GreenLA Apparel' Resonates with environmentally conscious LA consumers
Tech-Savvy 'Silicon Beach Solutions' Appeals to LA's growing tech scene and innovative mindset

In conclusion, a strategically chosen brand name can significantly influence consumer perception and behavior in Los Angeles by creating emotional connections, enhancing memorability, aligning with local culture, and conveying key brand attributes. As the marketplace becomes increasingly crowded, the importance of a strong, resonant brand name in driving consumer engagement and loyalty cannot be overstated.



When it comes to brand naming in Los Angeles, businesses often face the decision of whether to work with a specialized agency or handle the process internally. Let's explore the advantages and disadvantages of each approach:

Advantages of working with a specialized brand naming agency in Los Angeles:
  • Expertise and Experience: Los Angeles brand naming agencies have dedicated professionals with years of experience in creating impactful names across various industries.
  • Local Market Knowledge: Agencies in LA have a deep understanding of the city's diverse culture, trends, and consumer behavior, which can be crucial for naming success.
  • Creative Resources: Access to a team of creative professionals, including linguists, copywriters, and marketers, can lead to more innovative and effective name options.

The brand naming process in Los Angeles, a hub of creativity and innovation, typically unfolds through several key stages. Here's a breakdown of the journey from initial concept to final selection:

  1. Discovery and Strategy: The process begins with a deep dive into your brand's identity, values, and goals. Los Angeles brand naming agencies often conduct market research to understand local and global trends, competitor landscapes, and target audience preferences.
  2. Creative Brainstorming: Drawing inspiration from LA's diverse culture and innovative spirit, naming experts generate a wide range of name ideas. This phase often involves collaborative sessions and creative techniques to explore various naming directions.
  3. Preliminary Screening: The initial list is narrowed down based on criteria such as relevance, memorability, and alignment with brand strategy. In the competitive LA market, names that stand out while resonating with the local audience are prioritized.
  4. Linguistic and Cultural Checks: Given LA's multicultural landscape, names are screened for potential linguistic issues or cultural sensitivities across different languages and cultures.
  5. Legal Screening: This crucial step involves trademark searches to ensure the selected names are legally available. In the entertainment capital, where intellectual property is paramount, this stage is particularly thorough.
  6. Client Presentation: A shortlist of names, usually 3-5, is presented to the client along with rationales and visual mockups. Many LA agencies leverage their design expertise to showcase how the names might look in various applications.
  7. Refinement and Testing: Based on client feedback, names may be refined or new options developed. Some agencies conduct consumer testing, which in LA might involve focus groups or street interviews in diverse neighborhoods like Venice Beach or Downtown.
  8. Final Selection: The client makes the final decision, often with guidance from the naming agency on factors like market impact and long-term potential.
  9. Trademark Filing: Once the final name is chosen, the process of securing trademarks begins, which is particularly important in LA's competitive business environment.

Throughout this process, Los Angeles brand naming agencies leverage their understanding of both local and global markets. They often draw inspiration from the city's entertainment industry, tech scene, and diverse cultural influences to create names that are not only memorable but also have the potential for strong brand storytelling.
