In Hebrew: 'Branding'

מִתּוּג

Think Nike. What comes to mind? I bet shoes is at the top of your list, or close to it. That's because Nike has branded itself so that you associate its name with shoes - and next time you go to buy a pair of sneakers, the name Nike is likely to at least cross your mind. The Hebrew word for brand is מוּתָג , a Modern-Hebrew word deriving from the English word tag. For example:

"Nike" זֶה מוּתָג מוּכָּר. Nike is a familiar brand.

Converting this new Hebrew noun into a verb - to brand, Hebrew uses the active-intensive פִּעֵל verb form to produce the word לְמַתֵּג. Likewise, the act of branding is מִתּוּג. For example:

צֶוֶת הַשִּׁוּוּק עוֹבֵד קָשֶׁה עַל מִתּוּג הַמּוּצָר. The marketing team is working hard on branding the product.
