Messages Hidden in Brand Names

Identity is everything. Branding influences how others see your company and how they recognize and resonate with your brand. Branding can best be defined by the image or resonation that remains in ones mind when associating an item or action with your brand. 

It is important to have strength in your branding. Choosing a brand isn't something that occurs easily and it sticks for a long time. Scott Goodson from StrawberryFrog describes branding as a mix of psychology and science as branding is associated with credibility and experience, it's the brand image that remains after the product or moment is gone.
