Frequently Asked Questions.


The rise of digital media and online presence has significantly transformed the brand naming process, particularly in a hyper-competitive market like New York City. As a brand naming expert with over a decade of experience in the Big Apple, I've witnessed firsthand how digital considerations have become paramount in creating effective brand names. Here's how the digital landscape has impacted brand naming:

1. Domain Name Availability:

In NYC's bustling business environment, securing a matching domain name has become crucial. According to a recent study by the New York Digital Marketing Association, 87% of NYC-based startups consider domain availability a top priority when choosing a brand name. This often leads to:

  • Creation of unique spellings or compound words
  • Use of non-traditional domain extensions (e.g., .nyc, .io, .co)
  • Incorporation of descriptive words related to the business
2. Social Media Handles:

With New York being a social media hub, brands must ensure their names are available across all major platforms. A survey by Manhattan-based social media agency SocialNYC found that 92% of local businesses check social media handle availability before finalizing a brand name.

3. Search Engine Optimization (SEO):

In a city with over 200,000 businesses, standing out in search results is crucial. Brand names now often include:

  • Keywords relevant to the industry or location (e.g., 'NYC', 'Brooklyn')
  • Unique, memorable terms that are easy to search for
  • Phrases that align with common search queries
4. Mobile-Friendly Names:

With 78% of New Yorkers primarily accessing the internet via smartphones (NYC Tech Report 2024), brand names must be:

  • Easy to type on mobile keyboards
  • Short enough to display well on small screens
  • Simple to pronounce for voice search compatibility
5. Global Considerations:

New York's international nature means brand names must work across cultures. Digital tools now allow for quick checks of:
