Rob Meyerson is a brand consultant, professional namer, and co-author of the sixth edition of Designing Brand Identity. On his previous visit to the show, we discussed his work as a namer. For his return, we zoomed out to focus on how brands of all shapes and sizes can design an effective brand identity. We discussed all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast.

About Rob Meyerson

Rob Meyerson is a brand consultant and professional namer who runs Heirloom, an independent brand strategy and identity consultancy. With Alina Wheeler, he co-authored the sixth edition of the bestselling Designing Brand Identity: A Comprehensive Guide to the World of Brands and Branding. Rob is also the author of the book Brand Naming, creator and host of the podcast How Brands Are Built, and a contributor to leading publications such as Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, and Business Insider.

From the Show

What’s in a name? As we know from Rob’s last visit to the show, a lot. Designing Brand Identity is a tried and true resource. As Rob notes of the title and scope of the book, “We need all of those words in their biggest sense.”

Sadly … Designing Brand Identity co-author Alina Wheeler passed away recently. AIGA Philadelphia set up a memorial scholarship in her name to honor her legacy.

What brand has made Rob smile recently? Rob is a big fan of the sparkling CBD beverage Recess. Why? “You can tell they have a lot of love for design and the name speaks to taking a break.”
