Draft & confidentialProject Ring: Brand status 28 May 2003 Top-line by country
Draft & confidentialProject Ring: Brand status 28 May 2003 Selected names
Draft & confidentialProject Ring: Brand status 28 May 2003 Name 1: Unity Unity Name has some potential as it is strong at conveying concept of alliance. However, it is less successful at conveying global connection and it has variable appeal. NB: ‘M-Unity’ was originally tested, but subsequently refined to ‘Unity’ due to mis- understanding of ‘M’
Draft & confidentialProject Ring: Brand status 28 May 2003 Name 2: GlobeLink GlobeLink Name has some potential as it successfully communicates ‘global’ aspect, but is less strong in communicating the idea of an alliance. Overall, consumers felt this was the most relevant and had rational appeal.
