The Branding Agency Behind Some of Technology's Most Recognized Brands
The technology sector produces some of the most important companies in the world — and some of the most forgettable brands. When every competitor claims to be faster, smarter, and more innovative, the brand that wins isn’t the one with the longest feature list but the one that knows what it stands for and can say it in a way the market actually believes.
WANT has been building technology and software brands for over 25 years — from Fortune 500 enterprise platforms to venture-backed startups, from global rebrands to post-acquisition integrations. Our clients include some of the most recognized names in technology. And some that are about to be.
What's Changing in Technology & Software Branding
01
Every technology company is now an AI company.
AI is shifting from standalone capability to intelligence embedded directly in enterprise workflows — and every software company is racing to claim it. The result is a market flooded with identical positioning and naming conventions. “Intelligent.” “Autonomous.” “Transformative.” The companies that cut through aren’t the ones with the most advanced technology. They’re the ones with the clearest, most credible story about what their AI actually does for a specific buyer.
02
Consolidation is creating brand chaos across the sector.
M&A is accelerating the complexity of branding and storytelling in the technology and software space. Acquisitions create brand confusion overnight: multiple product lines, overlapping categories, inherited names that no longer fit. Brand architecture has become one of the most urgent strategic challenges in technology.
03
The enterprise buyer has changed — and the brand has to work harder.
The software buying decision that once lived in IT now involves the CFO, the CMO, and the board. That expanded buying committee means technology brands need to work across more audiences simultaneously — technical enough for the practitioner, credible enough for the executive, compelling enough for the person writing the check. A great technology brand tells a clear story that can be contextualized across various audiences.

Qlik
Technology & Software — Brand Naming, Brand Strategy, Brand Positioning, Brand Identity
Qlik had built a 30-year reputation as a leader in data analytics. When it acquired Talend and needed to signal its evolution into an AI-powered data platform, it needed more than a new product name. It needed a new brand story — one that honored the legacy, integrated the acquisition, and staked a credible claim on the future of AI-driven data.
WANT developed the brand positioning and narrative, the brand naming and the brand identity behind the new Qlik. The new brand answered the profound question, Qlik + Talend = ? From the attention capturing tagline to the product nomenclature and integration strategy, we gave Qlik’s leadership a brand built to enable business success.
