Top Brands:

Twitter: A ‘twitter’ is defined as a short burst of inconsequential information. By using this name to promote its purpose and function, Twitter has evolved into a ‘breaking news’ platform for its 319 million daily users.

BBC: An acronym that stands for ‘British Broadcasting Channel’. The organization’s perception as a factual media company comes not only from their long history but also their authoritative and formal name.

The New York Times: An authoritative news source, with a clear, crisp title. It is one of the most trusted news publications in America, due in part to this name.

Tinder: Named after a material used to light a fire, the company makes clear reference to the use of ‘spark’ and ‘flame’ when describing dating.

Buzzfeed: By combining the words ‘buzz’ and ‘feed,’ this company tells users that they will be ‘fed’ information that is popular or trending right now.

Scientific America: Emanating authority and knowledge, the name demands respect for the content they produce. The publication acts as a trusted source of news and information.

Clientele & interests:

Liking an Instagram post, sending a SnapChat, retweeting, posting on Facebook. They are all things that most people do on a daily basis. Social networks have become a vital part of our lives and form our virtual identity. We also spend a substantial amount of our day reading news articles, whether found on news websites or shared by our friends. Our dual interest in knowing what’s going on in everybody’s life while concurrently wanting to share every aspect of our own has meant that we spend a disproportionate amount of time reading the news and browsing social network platforms. So, while our interests are spread far and wide, they ultimately come down shareable content.
