Laying the Foundation with a Memorable Name and Brand

The journey of building your recruitment agency starts with something fundamental yet impactful: your business name and brand. This is about much more than just a label; it’s the first step in telling your story, defining your ethos, and carving out your unique space in the recruitment world.

Helen says…‘Hypa’ came about because it feels energetic, it’s short and punchy and it has my initials HP in it!

‘Spanx’ came to CEO Sarah Blakely when she was stuck in traffic, and originally started as Spanks but she discovered that constructed names were more successful and easier to register as a trademark.

‘Bumble’ was named by Founder Whitney Wolfe, created out of the idea of a bee society, where a woman, or a queen bee, is in charge.

Here’s how to ensure your agency’s name and brand resonate and remain memorable:

Creativity Meets Strategy: Brainstorming a name involves balancing creativity with strategic thinking. It should be memorable, easy to spell, and reflective of your agency’s values and mission. This name becomes the cornerstone of your brand identity. We love Namify for a bit of inspiration! https://namify.tech

Legal Legwork: Before you fall in love with a name, ensure it’s uniquely yours by checking for trademarks. Securing a unique name avoids potential legal hurdles and solidifies your brand’s presence in the industry.

Building Your Brand: A cohesive brand extends beyond the name. It encompasses your visual identity—colours, logo, and overall design—as well as the tone of voice you use in communication. This alignment ensures your brand resonates with your intended audience, setting the stage for meaningful connections. We love Looka.com for ease, price and ‘getting the job done’.
