31、 spectacular failures to get it right when companies have tried to go international or global with their products. This has been for a variety of reasons.

33、ted capsules of meaning. Where advertisers get it right, readers will do the work to generate all the intended connotations.There are whole companies who specialize in offering research on brand-name connotations to product manufacturers looking for a name for a new product, or looking at how best t

34、o market an existing product to new, foreign audiences. These companiesfor example Interbrand, and The Brandnaming Company typically organize brainstorming sessions where they ask groups of people to let their imaginations roam free, from which meetings they arrive at shortlists of names whose suita

35、bility is then researched further.

One technique brand name consultants often use is to invite people to freely suggest any names on their mind.
