Meet Zack – Your Expert Branding Partner.

After two decades leading brands for beauty, health, tech, and food, I now help small teams get big-brand confidence. Why? Because I’ve seen too many awesome entrepreneurs struggle with bad logos, clunky websites, and marketing that “just doesn’t convert.” I started BrandZhuzh to level the playing field  – to give founders like you access to top-tier branding without the bloated budgets and BS. I’m a straight-shooter who loves to teach as I go, so expect a partner who’ll not only deliver a killer brand but also arm you with the knowledge to keep it growing. If you’re ready for a brand that matches your ambition – and if you like a bit of fun (“zhuzh!”) in the process – let’s talk!

HOW CAN I HELP?

Only have a DIY logo and a dream?

Brand Identity Design & Strategy

Let’s turn that DIY Logo into a full-fledged brand that screams professional, not homemade. I can design, refine or extend your logos into an identity system with color palettes, type styles, templates and collateral. No more feeling embarrassed handing out your business card! I’ll ensure your identity is consistent everywhere – from your website to your Instagram – so customers instantly trust that you’re the real deal. Don’t have a logo (I can help with that too)

Website looking a little amateur?

Website Design or Redesign

If your website is a patchwork you threw together late at night, you’re not alone. I specialize in custom websites for small businesses that convert – sites that look and work as great as those of much larger companies. Working with your budget I’ll tailor a solution, whether it’s a quick refresh or a full rebuild. Mobile-friendly, easy to edit, and designed to convert visitors into customers. Say goodbye to feeling jealous of competitors’ sites; yours will finally be something you’re proud to show off.

I don’t have the time for content & marketing

Content & Marketing Campaigns

When you’re wearing all the hats, social media and email marketing often fall by the wayside. I offer done-for-you campaigns and content creation that speak in your brand’s voice – while you focus on running your business. From planning out a month of Instagram posts (so you’re not scrambling each week) to crafting email newsletters that keep you on your customers’ radar, we’ve got your back. Plus, I’ll give you templates and a calendar so it’s easy to keep up without feeling overwhelmed.
