We engaged Joshua Berman and the Punch team for our product re-launch. They completed thorough market research and re-branded our product to better appeal to both investors, at the capital raising stage, and to our consumers, who love the new packaging design and artwork that they created.
Terrific work they’ve done for us - you can just hear our cans on the shelves singing over the mediocre competition!

Art of Agave
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.

Fullsteam Brewery
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!

DROOL Cannabis
From the beginning, Joshua clearly understood our brand and the image we wanted to convey. He took the time to listen and comprehend our vision, resulting in designs that perfectly captured the essence of our luxury cannabis products. Each design showcased a remarkable combination of creativity, elegance, and innovation...
...I cannot recommend this designer highly enough. His ability to create beautiful, unique packaging designs and marketing materials for our luxury cannabis brand was unparalleled. His work exuded creativity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence... look no further.
- Erik Esparza, Director of Marketing
Antigua Cerveza
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...”

We’ve done a few projects with Punch now, and every time Joshua Berman far exceeds our expectations. His process to understand our business goals and objectives is very effective, and it helps yield results that are off-the-charts.
The creative work always has a purpose, and a link to our overall strategy.
- Mike Gross, Owner
Treasure Coast Grown Association
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
Santa Maria Brewing Co.
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
Eurisko Beer Co.
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
Funky Buddha Brewing
Josh and his team are extremely creative, imaginative, and fun. Their brand concepts are focused on moving the business forward and played a significant role in growing a $500,000 product line.

Meadowlark Brewing
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
Black Abbey Brewing
I worked with Joshua Berman when he led the design effort for our can designs for our first foray into packaged beer. Joshua exceeded our expectations... Through a collaborative effort we were able to narrow down the choices and come to an end product that we felt represented our brand better than we could have imagined. Joshua was a consumate professional during this process and brought new ideas to the table that made the process a success. I would gladly work with Mr. Berman again and strongly recommend him for any product design job.
- John Owen, Founder & Brewmaster
King's Sandwich Shop
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.
- T.J. McDermott, King's Sandwich Shop
Oconee Brewing Co.
We were first introduced to Josh while working on a company logo with The Brandit. From the first time we spoke on the phone, it became evident that Josh was determined to learn about the local landscape and market that we aimed to appeal to. It felt as if he immediately became a part of our team, even using words like “we” and “our” in our conversations.
We were amazed with Josh’s professionalism and creative know-how from the first round of the creative process. He was able to envision our description of Georgia’s “lake country” and transform it into a classic, yet elegant logo. He has a keen eye for the future of the brand and makes suggestions based on the uses of the logo and the growth opportunity of the company. When our company ran into some trademarking issues and had to change the brewery name, Josh was our immediate go-to for help in navigating out of a stressful situation. Josh’s understanding of the storytelling potential of a logo guided us into a more illustrative direction that helps the consumer visualize the meaning behind our new name.
His experience and knowledge of the brewing industry in particular make him an invaluable partner and someone that we can really rely on as we continue to grow our brand. Josh created two top-notch logos for us and we would go to him for a hundred more!

Big Mountain Ciderworks
“We are a startup hard cider manufacturing company and wanted to develop a cogent brand and packaging - even before we had a product. We were lucky to be introduced to Joshua Berman while he was working with the Brandit. He helped us get off the ground with our branding and marketing strategy. Josh spent quite a bit of time reviewing our strategy and goals before designing our logo and our packaging. He and his team were able to capture the essence of who we were and wanted to be.
He worked with us to first identify our goals, and this manifested itself not only in a great logo and packaging that set us apart from the crowd, but also by helping us define our strategy going forward. We really appreciate his style and artistic abilities.
We’re looking forward to continuing our relationship into the future. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs anyone who needs help with brand strategy, identity design, or assistance rolling out their brand in the marketplace.”

Craftpeak
Josh is a consummate professional, which is demonstrated in both his process and his work. He has an amazing ability to navigate the challenging waters of brand strategy, while faithfully guiding his clients through a deeper understanding of their core values, and how to best communicate those values through branding. Josh’s strategic process cuts through the morass and uncertainty of our client’s current brand strategies and replaces it with team cohesion, excitement, and confidence in the new direction.
It has been a pleasure to work with Josh and to see the results that he is able to produce with our craft brewery clients.
