They make businesses when they’re on target. And they leave people scratching their heads when they’re wrong. It’s a business name - and I’m determined to establish a communications consulting firm to take advantage of my 23 years experience.
What do you call a firm that specialises in public relations? Globally the major firms are named after their founders: Edelman, Hill & Knowlton, Burson-Marsteller, Ketchum, Porter-Novelli, Manning Selvage Lee. In Sydney local firms are mainly named after their founders: Cannings, Gavin Anderson, Savage & Partners, Horwath, etc.
Is it that simple? Do I tack my name on a shingle and hang out the “Open for Business” sign?
Or maybe I need to “Thai Harder”…

Yikes! Avoid names with daft puns in them for heaven’s sake. Leave that to Thai Restaurants. Did you know there was even a Thai restaurant in Adelaide called Thai Me Kangaroo Down.
I actually think ‘Jennings and Associates’ is a good name for a business, as do about a million other people if you google it. Am sure you’ll come up with something however. D

To be honest, ‘Jennings’ does build on your profile…
If you want to find the domain name that’s always tricky though… Incsub works well because it’s so odd (a contraction of ‘incorporated subversion’). Maybe wajen

Got my name - and it’s already registered for ABN and I secured the domain name (.com and .com.au) I wanted. More shortly…
