As a marketer, I know that naming a company can take time and it is only the beginning of the identity process. It usually takes a while to find the name that embodies how you hope people feel when they see, hear and interact with your brand. But as an entrepreneur, with an idea brewing inside - I also know that the moment you name "it" - that idea, that baby becomes real and can begin to live outside you. We got lucky with Strutta. It didn't take that long this time around.
