In Hebrew: ‘Branding’
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.
