Dig Deep to discover the brand's core value

Elevate your plate.

The name ‘Solterra’ captures the essence of Brenn-B Farms’ delicious potato crop, blending the radiant energy of the sun ‘Sol’ with the nurturing quality of the earth ‘Terra’. As Chris, Nicki, and Shawn lead the farm into new markets, the name was carefully chosen to reflect the product’s distinctive golden centre and delicious taste—a harvest, rooted in the hardworking spirit of the family behind it.

‘Solterra’ not only sounds as good as it tastes but also symbolizes the bright promise and rich heritage of this Canadian family farm.

Responsible choices.

When approached to construct a name for architects, specializing in residential architecture and adaptive reuse, it was essential that the name recognizes the vital role architecture plays in addressing climate change and embracing innovative, environmentally conscious solutions.

‘Boldera’ itself suggests a forward-thinking, courageous approach, positioning the firm as a leader in redefining urban living and repurposing existing structures with integrity and vision.

This name encapsulates the firm’s dedication to creating meaningful spaces that are not only aesthetically enduring but also aligned with the evolving priorities of sustainability and resilience.

EXPLORING new worlds FOR support

Shooting to the moon for all their little astronauts.

KidsAbility wanted a name that would resonant with  staff and the donors. It needed to reflect the limitless possibilities to help kids. 

The name ‘Rocket’, for the KidsAbility Foundation, launches a spirit of boundless potential and innovation in children’s rehabilitation. Just as a rocket symbolizes exploration, progress, and reaching new heights, this name reflects the organization’s commitment to assisting children to overcome challenges and explore new possibilities. 

With the kids in mind, we landed on a fun name that rockets the Discovery Centre’s research and innovation in children’s rehabilitation locally, provincially, and beyond. 

Finding the right mix of meaning

Truly, it’s a better way to make concrete.

When naming a volumetric concrete company that reflects the owner’s Italian heritage and a commitment to honesty and customization, a thoughtful approach can make a lasting impression. Combining ‘Vero’ meaning true or honest in Italian, with ‘Mix’, which emphasizes tailored concrete solutions, creates a name that embodies integrity and precision.

The name positioned the company as a trustworthy partner in construction, emphasizing transparency and personalized service at every pour.

formsource
Start with A solid foundation to build around

Simple, and built to last.

When crafting a name for a forming supply company like Formsource, it’s essential to convey both reliability and simplicity. ‘Formsource’ combines ‘form’, indicating the company’s focus on required building materials, with ‘source’, emphasizing its role as a primary provider of high-quality forming supplies. This name suggests a dependable origin for all forming needs, positioning the company as a trusted resource in the industry.

The new name not only reflects the company’s core services but also builds confidence and recognition among clients seeking innovative and consistent forming solutions.

Position a community to advance an industry

Collectively advancing the industry.

The name ‘Leap’ for this food-industry academy encapsulates the spirit of creativity and forward momentum essential for fostering an engaged community. ‘Leap’ symbolizes taking decisive, courageous steps toward innovation and success, encouraging brand makers to embrace growth while building a supportive network that champions collective achievement.

This name not only reflects the academy’s dedication to progress but also serves as a rallying call for those ready to make impactful moves in the food industry.

Rethinking purpose

The name ‘RePurpose’ embodies a forward-thinking approach to fostering a sustainable food economy by emphasizing the importance of reimagining and repurposing resources. It cleverly encapsulates the initiative’s core mission: to reduce waste, maximize efficiency, and promote responsible consumption within the food industry. With ‘RePurpose’, the initiative signals a commitment to transforming existing food systems into more sustainable, circular models—where every ingredient and resource is valued and given new life.

This name not only highlights the innovative purpose behind the project but also resonates with stakeholders dedicated to creating a more resilient and environmentally conscious food future.
