Domaining: secure the right domain name to export your brand

Domaining is the research, acquisition and strategic management of domain names. Brands too often skip it when they launch or expand into a new market. The right domain name, available and secured at the right time, shapes your brand's credibility, trust and visibility from day one abroad.

Why domaining matters internationally

Every market has its own conventions: a local extension (.hk, .cn, .jp, .kr, .vn...) builds more trust than a generic .com, and a name left unsecured can be taken by someone else before you even launch (squatters, copycats or a faster competitor). Securing the right domain portfolio when you create or export a brand avoids costly buybacks and damage to your image later on.

What our domaining support covers

An extension of the brand creation and export work we already do with you.

Multi-market, multi-extension search

Transliteration & local branding

Adapting your name into pinyin, kana, hangul or another local script for a domain that stays pronounceable and memorable in each market.

Defensive portfolio

Registering key variants (typos, close extensions) to stop squatting or copycats from riding on your brand.

Acquisition & negotiation

Buying or negotiating already-registered, premium or expired domains when the ideal name isn't directly available.
