As Chinese brands are continuously expanding overseas, national enterprises have made a strong voice worldwide. Therefore, a localized brand name becomes extremely important to a brand when stepping into the global market. Judy Wang, creative director of Labbrand’s Naming team, first shared insights on the topic of “New Language of Brand Naming”. Introducing Chinese and foreign naming case studies, she led us to dig into how Chinese brands could embrace the economic globalization in the best use of their English names.

As the leading guide in brand naming, Judy emphasized the power of the brands’ bilingual names. She elaborated on how to ensure the peculiarity of brand names while still taking into account the acceptance of different cultural backgrounds.

  • As the guests said, ‘it may be easy to create a brand name, but it’s extremely difficult to do it well.’ - It’s because each brand name is the combination of sound, meaning and multi-level cultural associations; It also can be regarded as art that is subjective, at the same time, it’s tricky to handle trademark registration problems as well. Today, I feel so glad to share my thoughts in terms of language and culture, and also have gained a lot from audience’s inspiring questions. Look forward to more communications on this topic in the future.

    Judy Wang

    Creative Director of Labbrand’s Naming team

  • It was a great pleasure to communicate with the branding creatives and operators on a practical level, so that we could better understand the requirements in the actual business operations with each other. Trademark’s application and management vary widely depending on different countries and areas. It would be great if the trademark owner can optimize the planning of brand design, trademark application and trademark asset management with the help of professional teams - in this way, they’ll succeed in protecting their own brand to the greatest extent, making this intangible asset to be the powerful assistance for the company development.
