Client brief

Our vision for the Exchange is to create a network of cities working together to improve government services by sharing information, learning from each other, and promoting the adoption of essential practices. Consisting of partnerships between civic-minded organizations and universities in select cities across the country, the Exchange will focus on the most vexing problems facing government managers today. Member cities will have the opportunity to elevate and gain recognition for successful practices, while benefiting from the experiences of other cities and saving municipal funds that previously might have been spent on expensive consultant reports.

A key component of the Exchange will be a fellowship program in partnerships with universities. Exchange Fellows will focus on actionable research and analysis targeted towards the practitioner, working to improve performance rather than conduct academic research or high-level policy analysis. The Exchange will prioritize the elevation of existing high quality resources, utilizing a technological platform and supported by a cadre of coaches to help members get the most out of the network by accessing the most relevant analyses and information.

We are looking for a name that is catchy... not necessarily just a combination of the key words, but something that captures the essence of the project.

The domain must be available as a .org

Tips for choosing a great business name

Keep it pronounceable

A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.

.com still beats clever TLDs

Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.

Avoid trademark traps

Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.

Test it in a sentence

Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
