I can confidently recommend Joshua Berman and [Punch Design Co.] to any firm looking for branding solutions. The professionalism and efficiency I experienced exceeded all expectations. Rest assured you'll be in good hands with this crew.

- Shawn D. Hamilton, Founder

He came to the process with intrigue, curiosity, and an original content-based mindset, which resulted in a fully developed concept. I was also impressed by his thoughtful approach to problem solving on a budget… a constant challenge for independent brands competing in a crowded marketplace, dominated by large corporate players.

- Roy Milner, Co-Founder

“Working with Punch Design Co. was a great experience. They helped us evolve some initial assumptions and developed a strategic approach that works for our market, goals, and budget. We now have the assets we need to build a strong, valuable brand.

Joshua Berman and his team are incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and responsive. I’m very pleased with our decision to use them for our brand development.”

- Michael Bowen, President & CEO

Punch Design Co. did an outstanding job of framing and managing the design aspects of our new brand, helping us think in innovative ways and leveraging their experience to identify opportunities to maximize the potential engagement of the brand with the target consumer.

And Josh was a pleasure to work with. He was thorough and disciplined throughout the brand development process, ensuring all the elements within the value chain were being considered. We look forward to working with Josh and his team again in the area of brand development.

- Mark Denton, Chief Business Officer

We’ve worked with Josh Berman of Berman Brand Group for a number of years, on a wide range of projects and products. What’s unique about Josh is his ability to think strategically - and to funnel that strategy into creative, clean deliverables.

It’s rare for an agency to seamlessly connect strategy, story, and product. Punch does this effortlessly. It’s why we keep coming back to Josh and his team for projects big and small. Bonus: he’s fun to work with and super nice!

- Sean Wilson, Owner and Founder

From the beginning of our project, Josh... provided actionable input to our ideas and was critical to our logo, label, and packaging design... Josh was able to quickly provide us with a beautiful canvas of detailed sketches to review.

His input and logic-driven approach helped us decide on a beautiful logo and brand design that we would have never been able to arrive at on our own. We highly recommend working with Josh...”

- Taylor, Jack & Jorge - Founders

In short, Joshua is a Brand Architect for ARKA. I have huge respect for his approach to bring my team’s ideas and vision to reality through his work. The subtle elements that he captures and converts them as touch points are phenomenal. He adds his judgement when we are stuck; that's what makes him a unique brand architect and brand director. We are so happy with his work and contributions.

- Kalyan Maddali, Founder

We needed a clear identity statement that communicated a sense of place, purpose, and community. We also needed something that could be easily adapted to multiple event scenarios, each of which would have its own “event identity.” What we ended up with was a well-balanced solution addressing all of those needs.

Jack Beuttell, Treasure Coast Grown Founder

Joshua Berman has been such an important part to the growth of Santa Maria Brewing Co. In the past 3 years he has handled all of our brand imagining, from packaged bottles and cans to attire and swag. The quality of work is second-to-none.

It's safe to say we would have made a bunch of mistakes had we not found Josh and listened to he guidance. Thanks Josh for being such an important part of our company.

Byron Moles, SMBC Owner

Working with Josh was a journey from start to finish. Rather than jumping immediately into icon sketches and brand identity concepts, he spent several Skype meetings really trying to understand who we were as individuals and what vision we had for our business. By the time we had begun discussing design ideas, he was already deeply in tune with our vibe. Josh went above and beyond what we expected. Could not have asked for a better design process... we really could not be happier with our branding... 

Seriously f#$%ing nailed it!

- Zac Harris, Partner

Josh was instrumental in helping to establish our brand presence. Even before we were in operation, I knew we needed a strong image and brand to pair with the beer and direction I wanted the company to go. Over the course of many months I accumulated and sent a huge mass of materials, images, napkin thoughts, and emails to Josh and his team to wade through. The result was a concise catalog of branding that has helped to set us apart in a competitive industry that excels at creativity. 

If we had a conceptual idea that we really pushed, even that wasn’t quite inline with the rest of our projects, Josh was able to persuade us to go in the “right” direction. I often work at subjects at 0 or 120 mph, and Josh is patient enough to reign me in to prevent me from making rash decisions, and that has helped keep our brand consistent and cohesive. We have continued to utilize Josh for all our creative streams from website development to POS materials and will into the unknown. Our two most common compliments are, “You guys have great beer” and “I love your logo!” So Josh is responsible for half of our praise.”

- Travis Peterson, Owner & Founder

It’s easy for me to pen a few words of praise to Punch Design Co. for their work on King’s... because our patrons and passers-by tell us - very frequently - how amazing we look. What began as a brand ID and logo re-design quickly morphed into a retail storefront design challenge and merchandising project that has taken off like gangbusters.

Punch was exactly the right fit for us, not just because Josh is an extremely talented creative. His consultative planning, ability to help us prioritize key needs, and marshaling urgent agency resources led us to impactful and highly effective solutions (typically under breakneck deadlines). I’m also grateful for Josh’s calm, thoughtful style and outstanding sense of humor, which collectively made for an invaluable partnership.

Josh is a killer creative with a keen business mind to boot, and I hope that he and I collaborate well into the future.
