Naming expert shares process for creating billion-dollar brands: Vercel, Azure, Windsurf, Sonos
Lennys Podcast • June 29, 2025
In this episode of Lennys Podcast, David Placek of Lexicon Branding breaks down his three-phase naming process—Identify, Invent, Implement—for iconic names like Sonos, Azure, Windsurf, and Vercel, revealing how small-team ideation, linguistic research, and strategic client engagement create standout brands.
Key Takeaways:
- Lexicon’s three-step framework—Identify (defining brand behaviors and market landscape), Invent (three two-person teams generating ~3,000 ideas with trademark and linguistic filters), and Implement (prototypes, executive rationales, customer research)—runs eight weeks for startups and up to three months for large enterprises.
- Lexicon’s proprietary linguistic engine uses 18,000+ morphemes, 250+ PhD linguists (108 active across 76 countries), and sound-symbolism research (e.g., V conveys vibrancy; B conveys reliability) to engineer and vet names with precise emotional signals.
- Placek’s “diamond exercise” jumpstarts naming by mapping “Win” (define success), “What we have to win,” “What we need to win,” and “What we need to say to win,” shifting focus from word lists to desired brand behaviors and experiences.
