One of the greatest risks for a highly innovative product is that the size of the market opportunity can be largely unknown. With our Market Opportunity Assessment, we conduct market research and advise you on the estimated market value, your pricing and strategies to reach customers with the highest lifetime value. An MOA is essential to securing grants and investment, because it provides the most accurate view of the market’s potential size.

Pre-Intake QuestionnaireProduct Brand Name Development & Positioning Strategy
Naming a product can keep inventors and product teams awake at night. By nature it’s highly subjective, a lot is at stake—and it’s a serious long-term commitment. That’s why we’ve made a clearly defined process of it. Our research and methodology driven process for product brand name development targets your buyers’ hot buttons, paying attention to linguistics, connotations, psychology and sound-alikes, along with the availability of trademarks and web domains. Product naming can be complicated and has far-reaching impacts, so it’s worth getting right, from the very start.

Intellectual Property Protection:
Trademark Registration & Patent Lawyer Referral
Safeguarding your intellectual property has never been more important than it is in today’s connected world. Protect your invention from identity theft and product counterfeiting by patenting it correctly in every market that matters to you. We help clients understand patents and secure their IP with a knowledgeable and niche-appropriate expert.
Packaging & Label Design
Up to 90% of retail purchasing decisions are made at point of sale, where customers judge your product by its packaging and presentation. Innovative, quality packaging distinguishes you from competitors, and unboxing has become a pivotal step in experiential marketing and social engagement: that’s why it can be such an important component of Obsession Branding™. Let’s ensure your packaging protects the merchandise, ships efficiently, grabs attention, creates desire—and jewel-boxes your amazing product!
