To be or not to Bebe?

Your next year’s SEO/SEM strategy is sure to be a hit if you create synergy with the top search terms of 2012, inspired by Google Zeitgeist

If you are considering new brand names, about to launch a
new product, or are just bored, you might want to consider combining Google’s highest
ranking search terms for 2012. Here are
some examples I’ve developed  (And since I’m a copywriter, I can get away with it ;).  Please feel free to add your own.
Grabbing the
coat tails of the 2012 Google Zeitgeist, which
one of these new terms do you think might take off in 2013?

BeBe is a
successful retail brand catering to the 20-something crowd. Honey BooBoo is the toddler queen of
white trash reality TV.   Put the two
together and you get  BeBe Boo Boo  – a new  line of baby-sized bandages; or, conversely,
trashy toddler clothing.

Chanel Gangnam Style
–  Haute Couture meets YouTube Korean dance
phenom. This would be a great brand name for a line of high-end street-cred clothing
for wealthy cougars who want to regain their youthful style. Event idea: have
Jackie O. look-a-likes doing the Gangnam Style dance in Times Square or
Rockefeller Center.

47% – Here’s a
gaff you could turn into gold, using it as a name for a new hedge fund or
investment brokerage. Downside: Some other financial broker might come up with “The
53% Fund” and now you have a percentage war on your hands. Then again, the
regulators would step in (or maybe not).

Paul Paul – Since
Ron Paul and Paul Ryan were the #1 and #2 
most searched US politicians and Gay Marriage was one of the top
searched issues during election 2012, these two candidates might consider
getting married and once again rise to the top of the search in 2016.  Downside: 
The Pauls need to contend with two Clintons.

Let me know what you think the winning combination might be.


Happy New Year!  May all your new hits become conversions!
