Branding is hard, we can help

Working on a new company name, you see it all - trademark conflicts, endless brainstorming sessions, .com domains already taken or listed for a fortune, and a list of dull names no one can agree on. It's enough to make you pull your hair out. But save your follicles - there's hope!
