If I didn't have a heart I would have gone into advertising, specifically
for branding. The topic is a long time interest of mine, so here's my
amateur opinion with education on the branding world.
The success of a brand depends on synching an idea/product with one name.

There are practices which are beyond the pale, for example, linking to a
