MenuMark Gunnion, Namer & Name Consultant
I am an expert name consultant, freelance namer and creative writer for all kinds of naming and verbal branding projects. Naming isn't magic - but it's tricky. I can take a lot of the mystery out of the process and help you get a long way towards the perfect commercial name you need. On Clarity, I can point you in lots of directions for finding cool name ideas for your new company or product. I've developed lots of shortcuts to make your naming efforts way more methodical and productive than the usual "Pizza, Beer, and a Whiteboard" brainstorming sessions we've all been through. With 25+ years of experience, I know what I'm doing, and I'm always happy to talk about all of the issues around names and naming.

This was my second call with Mark. He provided clarity on my biggest question within one minute and answered all of my following questions. Mark also provided some naming tools and strategies for me to use in the future. I would set up another call with him again and recommend him for any type of support needed with naming and as it relates to brand positioning.

Source: Clarity Shauna Graham Mar 11, 2022I was feeling quite lost when trying to come up with a name for my new business. Being a very picky person, I wasn't expecting to get much out of this call, but still gave it a try. Boy was I totally wrong! In 30 mins Mark expanded my mind and gave me clear, useful, and great directions to where and how to approach the naming of my business. Straight to the point, he suggested solid strategies to find a great name, and I have a much clearer vision now to what I should do. Highly recommended!
