naming for

healthcare

& pharmaceuticals

the integrated approach

The world gets smaller and markets converge, so if you operate worldwide it is logical to use brand names that can be used everywhere.

​

But as you are a professional too, you know that's easier said than done. 

Because if your goal is to find an international name that meets all the pharmaceutical criteria, then there are a lot of hurdles to be taken.      Therefore you need a team that really works internationally and helps you to reach that goal.

trusted guidance

In the dynamics of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry and the challenges they are faced with, the importance of professional guidance in the name and brand development process and the regulatory approval is significant. So be sure to make the best possible start as you enter the market. Because healthcare and pharma naming is a complex matter and requires an integrated approach in which the relevant disciplines combine their strengths in order to get the best results possible. 

Since 2005 we have put together a team that can offer you exactly what you need, by combining health & pharma specialists with relevant know-how and experience in the dedicated expert unit Pharmanaming. A unique cooperation of selected professionals working in Globrands or the GNN network agencies, their pharmaceutical or medical profession, or their own specialized agency. 

Moreover, in our Global Naming Network we share projects, know-how and experience with first-class naming creatives, linguists, regulatory experts, intellectual property lawyers, and research companies all over the world.
