MAKING A MARK
Our work, our purpose as a brand naming agency, is to make a positive impact on the world around us: to help visionary companies bring remarkable innovations to
life through incredible names and identities.
Catchword recently worked with Rotten Tomatoes, the iconic review site and go-to guide for film and television viewers, to create a new name for its Audience Score (the regular-folk counterpart to the professional critics’ Tomatometer). Both tasty and fun, the name Popcornmeter is instantly understandable, aligns perfectly with the existing popcorn icons, and naturally inspired the new handles for good (Hot) and bad (Stale) scores.
