OUR BRAND
Our name, Sunseed, is as much organic as it is strategic. Naming a company can be one of the most challenging and important steps in getting that business under way. We wanted to start with a name that would symbolize our mission, values, product, and ultimately our brand.
The Science of Business
Both of the components of our name – “Sun” and “seed” are associated with growth. Ultimately, we are in the business of helping companies grow – be it their revenue, market share, profitability, market reach, or brand equity.
Sunseed is a reminder to our clients and ourselves of our mission.
The Image
A sunflower seed has an extremely dense and intricate pattern. From a distance, it looks very symmetrical, but upon closer examination, one will see nuances and patterns. As researchers at Sunseed, we’re always looking for the nuances and patterns underlying success.
We are not simply scientists. We are precise, creative strategists whose mission is to help your business grow.
Nature and life follow a mathematical constant of 1.618, also known as the Golden Ratio. Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man famously captured this ratio in the human form. The sunflower pattern forms in its own natural way, using the same Golden Ratio.
