Our Name:
When you start a business, your first task is to select a name that isn't already in use and more importantly a domain name (website address) that isn't in use. Unfortunately for us virtually every generic name we came up with was purchased or in use. As a result, we considered something outside of the box and decided on something that was little more fun and risky. Fortunately, we've had very positive feedback from our clients in part due to our tagline ("is your business naughty or nice?"), but we figured we should clear any confusion. The detailed explanation for our name can be found below.
Detailed Version:
From Justin the founder of Naughty Copy Advertising LLC: "Several years ago I ran an eBay business, and I remember reading an article about a young entrepreneur of a growing business that operated under the name Nasty Gal, which contrary to what you might be thinking was/is one of the fastest growing online stores for chic women's fashion (comparable to Neiman Marcus in my opinion). The owner began her rags to riches story on eBay and has grown her small business into a multi-million dollar company still under the same name. So Nasty Gal was the precedent I needed in my mind to select a name that was slightly questionable & thematically fun since we go against the grain of popular/general advertising."
The Story Behind Our Name Continued: About Our Copy
If you aren't familiar with the term copy: copy refers to the words used in an advertisement. At Naughty Copy Advertising we primarily write direct response copy. This type of copy requests the audience to take action, whereas general copy does not have a call to action. General copy is frequently used by large companies that aren't primarily concerned with their bottom line but are focused on exposure. This is why most big advertising agencies tout branding and creativity instead of sales and growth. Both have their place, but for small and medium size business direct response is the more effective form of copy mainly because it has a measurable return on investment (ROI), since growth is still the primary concern of small/medium size businesses it is the way to go.
To summarize and clarify the long-winded version of our story. Direct response copy was the Cadillac of copy at one time, but for some illogical reason indirect copy (also known as branding or general advertising) took over (likely because most of the prominent direct response copywriters died), without a positive effect on businesses. In fact, direct response copy is frowned upon by most modern advertising agencies, hence our name Naughty Copy. In other words, we are one of the few "naughty" copywriters, bringing old fashioned effective copy back into fashion.
