You agree to use judgment and conduct due diligence before taking any action or implementing any plan or policy suggested or recommended in the Product(s). Payment Policy 1. Payment Policy In consideration for your access to the Product(s), you agree to pay for the Product(s) in full (including all applicable sales and other taxes or fees) as indicated on the sales and checkout pages for such Product(s) and for providing the Company with a valid credit card, debit card, or other payment method. To complete your purchase, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any purchase; and (ii) the information you supply to the Company is true, correct and complete. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected including purchases made with pre-paid credit cards. The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for any reason, including but not limited to product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, or errors in your order. We may use third party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of your purchase. By submitting your information, you grant the Company the right to provide your payment information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy. 2. Payment Plan Option Certain Products may be offered under a payment plan option. If you select the payment plan, your card will be charged the first payment at checkout in the amount indicated on the checkout page and subsequent payments will be charged on the same day of the month until all payments are made in full. If all eligible payment methods the Company has on file for you are declined for payment of your monthly fee, you must provide a new eligible payment method promptly or your access to the Product will be revoked five (5) days after the missed payment. You will be removed from the course platform if applicable and you agree to immediately cease using and delete all materials related to the Product from all your electronic devices. You will also not receive access to future versions of or updates to the Product(s) until all payments are made in full.

A payment plan is not a subscription payment model that can be canceled or a “pay in part” program where you can pay only for access to certain course materials and not others. Refund Policy If you realize a Product you purchased is not right for you, please email katie@26andthensome.com within 10 days of your purchase, and the Company will promptly issue an instruction to our payment processor to refund your payment. A credit will be applied to your credit card or other original method of payment. The Company does not control its payment processor and will not be able to expedite any refunds. If you opted for a payment plan and do not request a refund within the refund window, you are required by law to complete the remaining payments of your payment plan. If you experience any difficulties accessing, retrieving, or downloading your purchased Product(s), contact the Company immediately at katie@26andthensome.com. The Company will not, under any circumstances, issue any refunds, in whole or in part, after the refund deadline. If you initiate a chargeback, the Company reserves the right to report any delinquent balance owed to a credit reporting bureau and/or collections agency at our sole discretion. Your license to use the purchased Product and related materials is revoked immediately upon your receipt of a refund. By requesting and accepting a refund, you agree to immediately cease using and delete all materials related to the purchased Product from all your electronic devices, including but not limited to video recordings, audio recordings, forms, templates, checklists, guides, slide decks, and other resources. 2.

We reserve the right to present proof of your access and these Terms to the financial institution investigating the dispute. Product Access & Availability 1.

  • You Name It | Brand Naming Challenge

    Learn the ABCs of making a name for yourself - literally - in this 5 day challenge. The ABCs of making a name for yourself - literally. A crash course in the art, science, and strategy of naming your next big thing. Get Schooled POP QUIZ: Have you tried the "clear over clever” advice for naming? How many hours in the past month have you argued with AI over names? Are you thisclose to adding "HAUS" to something just to be done with it? What you’ll learn: 26(&thensome) strategies for coming up with creative, interesting, trademarkable names for just about anything ever Why your business coach is wrong about naming (and what to do instead) The #1 benefit to being the black sheep of your industry The only way you should be using AI for naming (hint: not how you think) How to know if your name is “good” The psychology behind names that sound good and sell well Trends that are already tired and should stop immediately The secret to names that attract high-ticket clients &thensome! The Crash Course Class Schedule Turning ABCs into OMGs Over 5 days, you'll learn the exact framework I use to create brand and product/service names that stick: Day 1: Unlearning First things first - unlearning everything you’ve ever learned about naming in business. Respectfully, those compact lessons in comprehensive, giant courses are usually 8-12 minutes of bad advice by people who’ve never studied naming… We’ll get into why “clear over clever” is terrible advice, what objectively makes a “good” name, and why things like length, domain availability and literal meaning are irrelevant. Day 2: A is for Angle Your first real lesson: strategic positioning. Because if you don't know your angle, you'll end up with a name that sounds like everyone else's. We're getting crystal clear on your messaging and positioning before we even think about naming. What differentiates you from your competitors? What’s your one-liner that says it all? We’ll use all of this to inform your naming criteria. Day 3: B is for Brand ________ Essence. Personality. Voice. Visuals. Getting into the emotional weeds of naming because names are supposed to make us feel things and sometimes we need more than words to describe a feeling. We’ll be making vision boards, talking about tone of voice, humor, personality to ensure your name resonates on both rational and emotional levels. Day 4: C is for Criteria This is how we keep the process strategic—not subjective. I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of different criteria (like length, tone, SEO, emotional punch, etc). Then we’ll talk through how to come up with names that meet them and which “rules” are bendable or breakable. Day 5: D-Day (Decision Day) Put it all together and finally choose a name worth trademarking. Armed with your angle, brand clarity, and criteria, you'll learn exactly how to vet your options. I’ll guide you through a decision-making process that eliminates overwhelm and second-guessing, and give you tips on narrowing down your top contenders. You’ll leave with a shortlist of names, rationale for each choice, and total confidence in your final choice!

Besides an extremely good show of my naming prowess, it’s 60 minutes of riffing on whatever you need.

I got permish to show you this: See The Recap Improv Hour is a HUGE hit, tbh. She's no joke! I'm f***ing OBSESSED! This convo was exactly what I needed! I’m walking away with what feels like a million different phrases and statements that I can use on my website and in my marketing—not to mention the kick-ass new introduction that I can’t wait to use. All the little phrases and ideas, even the ones that aren’t part of the bio, are still concepts I can use elsewhere to help paint the picture of what I offer. The call was open and less structured which really helped the creative flow—I loved it! The way that Katie just came in and crafted a concept and copy that’s so fun and is actually in tune with my vibe as a person... in less than an hour... she’s no joke! I’m f***ing OBSESSED! Riz, Dirty Little Systems Huge for my confidence and personal clarity! Improv Hour was mind-blowing. I went in knowing I needed positioning help but I didn’t know what that should *look* like. By the end, I was so excited! The three elevator pitches you wrote were so clear, easy, and put everything in alignment. The next day, I went to a networking meeting and confidently said, “This is what I do, and this is how.” It was huge for my confidence and personal clarity. - Nikki Vance, The After Co. Katie got me together. Just as I suspected, Katie got me together. She listened to all the jumbled ideas in my head and made them make sense. We not only explored a few tagline ideas and positioning, but ended up with a whole concept for the app! Already planning to book her for another session. I cannot wait to bring these to the team!” - Emmelie De La Cruz Which naming package should I do? Are you naming something that falls under an existing brand identity? → IDK. (That’s what it’s called, in case you skimmed it.) Are you naming the umbrella that that thing would fall under? → TBD. Do you want to be heavily involved in the process? → IDK. Do you want to bang your head on a wall trying to think about naming? → TBD. What's the process for the larger "TBD" package?

  • Hi, I'm Katie - I Name Sh*t So You Don’t Have To.

    Remember me when you think the perfect business name will just "hit" you in the shower...and it doesn't... Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by trying to name your hot new idea. There, there, I know. You thought the name would just "hit" you in the shower... Maybe one did! But then your friends had opinions about it, and the government had RuLeS about it and turns out you can’t have it anyway because it belongs to someone who definitely doesn’t deserve it. You don’t really mean that. You’re just bitter. (Which I get.) And now you’re here– probably a little relieved to know a “me” exists—but also thinking, “Am I really about to pay someone for this?” (bats eyelashes) Let me just validate your feelings for a sec – naming isn’t easy. If it was, I’d be out of a job. And so would the teams at Mack Daddy Naming Agencies charging 5-figures to do exactly what I do – only with more meetings, a bloated timeline, and at least one guy (Steven feels right) suggesting you drop a vowel or slap on “-ly” like that makes it innovative. Luckily, this page* will put us on a first-name basis so this is your permission to let go, and let me! :) *And the rest of them. I'm Katie with the good names. But my husband calls me Babble because I talk a lot. I’m not offended because as you can see – I have a lot to say and fun stories to tell and I don’t have a podcast. Good thing I can use this About Page as an outlet! (And then you can interview me for YOUR podcast) Once upon a time, (F it — the best stories start this way) 3-year-old me wanted to grow up to be a “Mama Princess,” which is cute for “Queen.” Hindsight: making up job titles was less about royal ambitions and actually just foreshadowing. Had I embraced my prodigious creative naming prowess sooner, I might have avoided The Great Meltdown of 2010™ where I performed the tantrum of a lifetime successfully convincing my parents that Musical Theatre would be a good pursuit for me. Two obligatory semesters of music theory and a humbling “C” in piano later, PR sounded more “practical.” Reading Time: 2 minutes Once upon a time Sorry, old habits die screaming. What happened next is proof that childhood dreams have a funny way of coming true I entered my Beauty and the Brain era. Soon after, my resume read like a fever dream: PR student & marketing intern whose special skills include: → “drives well in a hoop skirt, → “adequate face painter” and → “dog, dog, or dog balloon animal twister.” I'd landed my lifelong dream job as a princess ...for kid parties. But I don't know who was more starry-eyed – the sticky-fingered toddlers or me on payday. I made more money in a borrowed ball gown than I did in a blazer. And that’s when it hit me: I'd make even more if I 'wore' both. So, I pitched myself a new role – Marketing Director by day, AND discount Disney character by weekend. I taught myself everything I needed to know to speak “parent.” Brand messaging, positioning, voice, and storytelling… and as for a party trick tip: how to say “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” backwards. (Please don’t ask me to do it now, I’m afraid I’ll pull a muscle.) Business was booming, but I was really starting to feel the weight of the wig on my shoulders. My weekend party commutes were aging my car in dog years, and mustering enthusiasm for "Happy Birthday dear *mumble*" took effort with a capital EFF [this]. Rock bottom found me as the budget Belle in a Taco Bell drive-thru. A punny (but poetic) place for an origin story, really. Maybe it was the wig cutting off circulation to my brain, or maybe it was a prophecy wrapped in a “beefy 5” burrito foil - but staying behind the screens sounded like a much better idea. In fact, it sounded like the happily ever after I was looking for. I traded playing princess for wit, wordplay and comedic timing and ‘character’ work took on a whole new meaning. The same skills that kept toddlers engaged and enthusiastic – a story, a song, and a flair for theatrics – worked just as well on grown-ups with budgets and CFOs. All I had to know was my ABCs… …and my ROIs, and KPIs, and CPCs, and LTVs… I threw myself into a new role as copywriter without so much as a wham, bam, here’s the plan — hope you like alphabet soup. The early days were a tale of two struggles. Offline , it was explaining the job itself: “No, that’s copyright—I do copywriting with a W...and 25 other letters. And online , the noise was coming from inside the “haus” (Are the girlbosses in the room with us now?) The coven of coaches coaching coaches pushed “clear over clever” like it came with a free tote bag and a pair of steak knives. And for the past 8 years, I’ve been the “fixer” when that advice inevitably backfired. I made a name for myself – figuratively and literally – as the “personality” hire. The one brands call they realize clarity without creativity is just...boring. I’ve built a reputation for work that is just as clever as it is effective. My work has generated $1M+ in email revenue for a single client, appeared on award-winning wellness products, and helped founders find their voice again. But it wasn’t just my copy that caught attention—it was how I named and positioned my own offers. I didn’t just slap “Haus,” “Academy,” or “Collective” on something and call it a day. My names anchored entire concepts. World built. Became verbs. All the marks of a “good” name. They stood out alone. They stuck. And most importantly, they sold. That’s what caught the attention of brands who had outsourced their identities to agencies. Before I knew it, naming referrals started rolling in. First, small projects for personal brands. Then, “pinch me” projects—like naming a red lipstick (dream achieved!) and a blow dryer for a UK celebrity stylist who – casual flex – has run his hands through both Princess Di’s hair and the Beatles’. And since my cat is named Eleanor Rigby, I took that God *wink* very literally. I studied the psychology of naming, linguistics, literary devices, origins of words, and one name led to another… In the last 2 years I’ve named brands, bands, babies, and beauty products—and that’s just my B-list. Kinda funny how my childhood knack for naming wasn’t just cute backstory but the beginning of a whole new chapter in my business. And when it came time to name that chapter, there was only one choice… 26 & then some is the naming & brand strategy studio fit for a queen (or shall I say, a “Mama Princess”) – because when it comes to turning ABCs into OMGs, I know exactly how to keep audiences SPELLbound. (You had to see that coming…) So, let’s talk letters or are you still waiting for the weird stuff? Contact Me Wait? What weird stuff? My Portfolio See Exhibit A-Z

  • Cover Your AI: Damage Control for Botched Brand Copy

    Call it copy editing. Call it zhuzhng or, "punching up," just don’t call it “good enough.” It's your Red Letter Day You found my FOMO page! FOMO/ˈfōmō/ noun Fear of missing out on fun copywriting projects. …I don’t remember exactly, but I swear your copy winked at me and whispered, “Fix me.” Then, I got weak in the knees, emotionally involved, blacked out, and made this page. Cover Your AI. Cover Your Agency. Cover Your Ass. Bot copy? I got you. We're all grown ups here. I know you're using AI. Or passing the buck to someone else who is. But are you (or they?) prompting it right? Is it trained on your voice? How effective are you at beating it into submission? Does it know you don't like violent expressions like that? How much does it (do you...) know about your brand voice? Because here's the thing—I'm good at this. I know what I’m doing. I'm brand voice certified, and have been putting better words in brands' mouths for 8+ years...and I still end up editing 75% or more of what AI gives me. Is that because I'm really anal about it? Maybe. But isn't that *exactly* what you need? Call it editing, “zhuzhing,” punching up — or we can call it what it really is — damage control. For when AI saved you time but sacrificed literally everything else. For when your external agency or internal team says “we nailed it, ” and your gut says “…did they?” For when you know it could be better—but you’re too tired (or too nice) to say so out loud.

Katie took an existing sales page and polished the heck out of it.

That's a HUGE ROI! Marisa Corcoran Every time I go in to review emails, I’m like “did I write this?” I’m always so amazed that Katie writes something that sounds like what I’d say, better than how I’d say it. It’s like she lives in my head and I’m really grateful because she’s able to write exactly what is in my head, but more eloquently. Megan Hansen I immediately loved her style. I was so stoked to finally find a writer who was funny, witty and able to write in my weird + playful voice! She really brought a fun, easy confidence to my current voice.

I need a name &thensome My Method The ABC to OMG Naming Method for names that sound good AND sell well A A is for Angle Before we name it, we need to nail down what makes your brand different—because a name without a strong angle is just a placeholder. This is where we carve out your "you-sized hole in the marketplace" (as the girlbosses say) and define your positioning. B B is for Brand I need to know where to draw the line—because while I love wordplay and puns, some brands need a different approach. We’ll define what’s on-brand vs. off-brand, covering tone, personality, humor, and style. Send me a “vibes” board, and we’ll make sure your name matches your vision. C C is for Criteria This is how we keep the process strategic—not subjective. Before I start naming, we’ll decide together what makes a name “right” for your brand. I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of different criteria (like length, tone, SEO, emotional punch), and you’ll get a chance to review, tweak, or approve the list. That way, when we evaluate name ideas later, we’re not going off gut feelings—we’re going off goals. Then, I vet my ideas to bring you names that are: O O is for Original Have you heard it before? Does it sound too familiar? And let’s not forget the honorary O—Objective—making sure every name aligns with your approved criteria. M M is for Meaningful Does it emotionally resonate with you or your audience? Will it lend itself to a story people actually want to share? G G is for Growth Potential Does it give you room to expand? Can it evolve into sister brands, spin-offs, or a whole ecosystem of related names?
