Contest Brief

We are an online training company for Microsoft office looking to bring a refresh to our brand. We to convey our services will help people and companies become more efficient through Microsoft Office training.

We provide three services:

1) Online training for Microsoft Office which is actually interactive - as in, it is not a simple video, you actually have to click through the steps in a simulator as though you were using the product.

2) Business Subscription: This includes a weekly "quick tip" which is an email with a single time saving tip for Microsoft Office and BlackBerry - it also includes a video. The subscription also includes a monthly more indepth newsletter and access to our helpdesk which provides professional support for Microsoft Office (not a forum)

3) Home Subscription: This is a newsletter that provides tips on computer useage in general (not just Microsoft Office) and the aim is help those who have adopted computers late in life and are no longer involved in business to use their computer to get things done around the home. Topics include online shopping, safety, useful websites and tools, digital photography editing, etc.

Information about the business:

Customers mainly from UK, USA, AUS and NZ

Our mission is help our customers become more efficient through training for Microsoft Office - time saving, money saving.

Our customers are generally non-technical people looking for advice.

This first step is to help us decide on names as follows:

A business name for the entire business

A brand name for our online learning modules

A brand name for our weekly business "quick tip"

A brand name for our monthly business newsletter

A brand name for our monthly home newsletter

Ideally we would like to see some consistancy and a link between all the brand names - a bit like Apple with iMac, iPhone, iPad, etc.

    Hello All: one idea I quite like myself is Upskill, but I'm not sure if we could get this domain - any ideas around that concept?

    Excellent - a seperate competition will follow for a logo once the name is chosen.

    A tag line may help give identity to the brand

    jjcaldwell - continuing on from my previous message, the brand names are different. Because these relate to specific products, they can refer to MS if you can think of a way - obviously we can't use Microsoft trademarked names.

    I think a reference to MS may limit us for future expansion if we decide to cover other software as well, so we need a name that links with training, efficiency, IT or on the complete opposite side of the scale, a "generic" name that has no link at all to what we're doing - like "Apple".

    so.. you do NOT want any reference to MS at all? or should it promote the idea that your training MS?

    Please keep in mind the domain name as well
