The art of naming comes with many challenges, but it can also be lots of fun deciding on a name that is timeless and represents the brand vision of your organization. Naming an organization, project, program, or event is much like naming a new pet or baby: important but challenging. Start with your brand strategy.

One of the most common questions I'm asked as a social media consultant is, "Which tool is the best?" If you have a do-good project, or a small nonprofit that you want to promote, fundraise for, or build an online community around using social media, your first step is to create a plan. Also, what is the time line for the project?
