Help Me Name My Company

[Rushmore]

Where better to contact the intelligent people of the world than the OOT forum?

I am in the process of acquiring a marketing business. We will be doing soup-to-nuts marketing, which will include everything from direct mail, telemarketing, and internet advertising all the way to TV and radio.

I will have 20-30 employees. The office will be located in Clearwater, but will handle accounts from all over the country. I have six accounts in place, including dating services, travel clubs, and mortgage companies. I could have five more immediately, if I thought I could handle the workload, so expansion is inevitable.

I will need a name. I am open to anything that works, but am against anything that sounds too "AllComm"-ish, if you know what I'm saying.

If possible, I'd like some serious responses here.

Help me, OOT!!

sons output is just an anagram of soup to nuts.

There will be no spam involved. People who spam should be killed. This business will involved standard, above-board marketing.

Contrary to popular belief, I still have a SOUL to consider, thank you very much.

would you be able to market a website that has a regional based name yet focuses on an idustry that is world wide? how feasabile is this? like if the name of the site was "nycbowlingtips" could you market that shizzit anywhere? if so you may have another client /images/graemlins/smile.gif

When my spirit was tied to a volcano by the aliens back before the Proton-7 Revolution, I thought I'd NEVER get to vacation in Bermuda..."

I LOVE it. Think Sam Waterston in the robot insurance commercial.

You're in marketing and are asking oot to name your business? Somehow I don't think this bodes well for your company's success.

This is such a shock coming from you, Jake. I expected some really sincere, constructive assistance.

You're right. The thirty seconds it took me to type in the question was a monumental waste of time. I definitely should have spent the time slagging Hellmuth, Esfandiari, or Negreanu in the WPT Forum, or discussing anal sex right here in the OOT, or maybe the nervous systems of marine life, I don't know.

I have twenty-plus years in marketing and marketing management. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you'd be very surprised where you might find good material, be it ideas or other talent.

Thank you for your valuable input.

If You Thought Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch Was Catchy, Just Wait Until You See What We Can Make Hootie Do Inc.

Tender Catchy Wait Do Inc. for short

Or, you can do Kokopelli Marketing. Kokopelli is the ancient Hopi Indian God of powerful communication and fertility. But you can leave the fertility out of the brochure.

Of course, Hermes is probably a God more people have heard of, and he is basically communication too since he was the messenger. Mercury = Hermes.

Other Gods of Communication:

Thoth (God of knowledge and communication)
Eshu-Elegbara (God of communication and spiritual language)

[Rushmore]

How about Thundercles Focus Marketing Group?

Or maybe Odin Dynamic Communications?

Maybe just "THOR," with no fancy-shmancy words around it. It could be an acronym for TeleHouseholdOmniRespresentatives.

I appreciate the sentiment.

See my response to Jake, which said that I am not proud when it comes to spitballing ideas (loosely paraphrased).

PLUS, I'm getting some decent stuff here.

Rushmore,
Here are some off the top of my head. I will come back to this thread later though (this is a fun little creative exercise.) I am writing these after skimming the thread, sorry if I am repeating someone elses idea, credit them if its a good one. Also, I am sure that some of these have already been copywritten (is that a word?):

my favorite so far:

Drinking Horse Marketing Group

(also Drunk Horse Marketing but I am not sure if you want to take the risk of the negative connotation of Drunk, then again doesn't a lot of good marketing take risks?...)
...

More to follow; let me know if any of these are on the right track.

I think that you should take it up a notch and choose the 5 best options for your company's name, start a poll, and let OOT decide the winner.
