What is a good name for an Advertising Agency?
I want to start an small Advertising Agency, but I don’t want to spend $500+ to get one made professionally. Partly, because I don’t know how they could name a business better than someone who created it. But what are some good names for an innovative, creative, and effective ad agency?
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm (which are in the business of naming, so they’re going to understand what makes a name strong) or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what’s out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I’d try them out first.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
