Brand Name Consulting

Bi-line goes here

Your brand name is more than just a word.


The importance of creating a great brand name goes well beyond finding the right combination of letters. When it's done well, it becomes the cornerstone of your identity. At Appella, we specialise in creating brand names that resonate with your audience, align with your values, and stand the test of time.


Why Investing in Brand Naming Matters


Did you know, more names are now used in every sector than even just 10 years ago? This makes finding one that is protectable and unique even harder (but more important) than ever.


Great brand names don’t just happen by accident. The ones that last are the ones that are crafted with care and consideration. They tell a story, work across multiple countries and cultures, are succinct and memorable.

In this seminal late 1990’s re-branding exercise for National Power carried out by Bostock & Pollitt with the assistance of consultant Andrew McCrum, a brainwave by David Chappel resulted in the minimalist replacement of the outdated countrywide descriptor National by the subtle and in-vogue and lower case n. 

David Chappel’s brand naming idea was fuelled by Appella-style brand consultancy, research & support.
