Our Services
Positioning
How should your define and position your services to attract more business?
Our positioning engagements begin with research on your company and competitors, followed by a two-hour workshop with your key employees.
This approach helps reveal key insights, gives you a sense of ownership of the final recommendations, and reveals the merits of each of the eight Positions of Power in your market.
The exercise also focuses your organization, speeds your agreement on strategy and tactics, and provides a single foundation that will help you attract, convert and keep more prospects.
Representative positioning clients: ADP, EDS, Fidelity Investments, Hewlett Packard, Hewlett Packard Europe, Merck, Wells Fargo, uReveal, and MRI.

Names
Are you getting known, faster and at the lowest possible cost?
Our name testers (67 people nationwide whose results are consistent with representative samples of over 2,000 people) show that the presidential candidate whose name sounds most authoritative has won 12 of the last 13 presidential elections. The memorably-named Yahoo, an adequate service, earns billions more than the forgettably-named Northern Light, a superior one.
Your name should reflect your desired position and intended brand, and be evocative, personal, or geographic. It should be no longer than four syllables, appeal to one or more senses, and imply more than one meaning.
Our name exercises follow our positioning and branding exercises mentioned above. Before making our recommendation, we educate your team on the 13 characteristics of superior names so that they can make the most informed and confident choice on this critical marketing decision.
Naming clients include: Blue Harvest (ocean seeding); Heaven on a Pogo Stick (book title); uReka! (search engine); Umbrella (cosmetic dentistry); Ninth Cloud (aesthetic medicine); Go.edu (K-12 computer consulting); Primrose (Alzheimer's living); Crucible (international security specialists); Angel (support for cancer patients); Lowry Hill (wealth services); Corragio (performance sports wear); Pathfinders (psychological services); Wizards of Ahhhs (children's photo studios)
