Beer Brand Naming - An Ideation Study, 2019
- 2. Category Development Naming 2 Narratives & Linguistic Attribute Analysis The purpose of this presentation is to create a contextualized system of nomenclature for category driven, beer brand concepts. These systems, or ‘archetypes’ will incorporate the primary brand, descriptors, variants, identifiers and sub-brand elements of the beer concept nomenclature. Intra-category, many of the descriptor candidates may be interchangeable with other brands. Differentiation Dimensions: The Nomenclature Archetypes
- 3. whatdefinesgreatbeernames? ideation, discovery, nomenclature. the roadmap When reviewing this presentation, our objective is to identify beer brands and supporting nomenclature systems which align with the respective category designations. Within the category, you will find six favored brand identities with several descriptors each. Intra-category, these descriptors can be interchanged to be used with brands that they do not reside under. We may also consider Out of Category descriptors which may function well in several different dimensions. Our goal is to create nomenclature systems which maintain continuity with the messaging and positioning strategy.

- 5. 5 Let’s think in context. What does the name sound like when we ask for it at a crowded bar? Are you empowered by asking for it by name? Scream it…whisper it. Can you laugh with it? When we approach a name to articulate it’s sound, do we hesitate? Is it simple to embrace? Are we comfortable with the first time pronunciation? Is it sexy to know how to pronounce it when others don’t? Is the name alluring, suggestive and inviting? And if you think this is not a relevant feature, let’s discuss. Provocation is intoxication and if the name is intoxicating,.. Place the name in multiple contexts. Ask for two, three, a six pack, a case, a dozen. Even a half pour. Or let’s drop a shot of Don Julio in it. …or just a sexy sip. 05Does the name grant permission to indulge? Are you privileged? Is it a name that defines you and your choice of beer? 06The name …Look at it.

Does it change anything I may want changed?. 08Word structure…phonemes, morphemes, graphetics…bottom line….does the name look good and sound good? 09Shorter names are better, they test well, but perceived shorter names are just as potent. 10Is there a way to think of beer drinkers as successful? Cultured and classy? Or not? Why do you even need an image association? It’s beer. And who says classy is important? 11‘Beercation’? What is you definition of escapation?
