Brand Launch: From Naming to Live Website in 6 Weeks
Every naming agency delivers a name. We deliver a business.
Your Current Site May Be a Liability
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
Here's the thing about naming agencies -- they'll charge you $25K and hand over a PDF with a name on it
Risk: That's it. You're still hunting for a developer, a designer, a trademark attorney, and someone to actually build the thing. Meanwhile, every day you're operating without a professional presence, you're bleeding credibility and losing customers who land on nothing, or worse, something embarrassing.
So you found a name on Namelix, grabbed the domain, felt pretty good about it -- then discovered someone already trademarked it in your category
Risk: Now what? You're back to square one, except you've already printed business cards and told everyone the name. It happens more than you'd think. And every day you spend sorting out that mess instead of actually trading, you're losing credibility with potential customers who can't find you anywhere professional.
Brand identity from one agency
Risk: Website from another. Neither of them has spoken to each other -- ever. The result? Your logo's one thing, your site's doing something completely different, and customers can feel that disconnect even if they can't name it. Honestly, it's one of the most common and most expensive mistakes early-stage founders make. Every day that misalignment is live, it's quietly costing you credibility and customers you'll never even know you lost.
You launched on a Shopify template -- maybe Debut or Dawn -- and now you look identical to 40,000 other DTC brands
Risk: Same layout, same font pairing, same product grid. Customers notice, even subconsciously. There's no reason for them to trust you over the brand they already know. And that sameness kills conversion before your copy even gets a chance to work. Every day you're blending in rather than standing out, you're handing credibility and customers straight to your competitors.
You're ready to sell in the US, Germany, and Singapore, but nobody on your current team handles international trademark filing
Risk: So you're either exposed in every market or paralysed trying to coordinate separate attorneys in three different jurisdictions. It's a mess. And the real kicker is that launching unprotected in a new country isn't brave -- it's just risky in a way that doesn't pay off. Every day without proper protection and a professional presence, you're losing credibility and customers you worked hard to reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Look, this covers everything -- not just the fun stuff. We're talking brand strategy upfront, then 10-15 name options with trademark pre-screening baked in before you fall in love with anything. From there: domain acquisition, trademark filing across the US, UK, EU, and India, logo and full brand identity, Google Workspace setup, social media handle registration, a Next.js website built with SEO from day one, e-commerce if you need it, and a 6-month content strategy so you're not staring at a blank page after launch. It's the whole thing, start to finish.
Six weeks from your first discovery call to a live website. Week 1 is discovery and naming. Week 2 we're handling domain acquisition and trademark filings. Week 3, brand identity. Then weeks 3 through 5 are the website build -- that overlap is intentional, it's how we hit six weeks without cutting corners. Week 5 we're loading in content and doing SEO setup. Week 6 is launch, analytics configuration, and monitoring. Pretty straightforward once you've done it 50 times.
Starter packages run GBP 15-20K -- that gets you naming, domain, logo, and a solid 5-page website. The Professional tier sits at GBP 20-35K and adds e-commerce functionality, proper brand guidelines, and a content strategy you'll actually use. Enterprise is GBP 35-50K and brings in multi-language support, an AI chatbot, and programmatic SEO for brands that need to scale fast across multiple markets. Most clients land in the Professional tier, honestly.
Naming agencies like Catchword will charge you $25K+ and send over a name on a PDF. Then you're off to find a developer in London, a designer, a trademark attorney, a domain broker, and someone to sort your IT setup -- all separately, all billing you independently. Social Animal delivers the name AND a live, revenue-generating business for the same total budget. That's the actual comparison. Not cheaper -- just complete.
Yes, and we handle the whole process -- not just the filing. We work across the USPTO in the US, UKIPO in the UK, EUIPO for the EU, and India's trademark registry. Each jurisdiction has different timelines, different costs, and different quirks. We take care of Nice Classification selection, application filing, and office action responses if they come back. You don't need to learn what a Nice Class is. That's our job.
Yes. Every site ships with schema markup, a sitemap, Google Search Console submission, structured data, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and a 6-month SEO keyword map paired with a content calendar. And honestly? Most naming agencies don't touch SEO at all -- you'd be starting from zero after paying them. We build it in from the first line of code, not bolted on at the end.
