About ZAM’d

Partnering to tackle beverage and hospitality design challenges

When we started ZAM’d Studio, it was all about helping brands we care about tackle the challenges we know all too well. We’ve been in the trenches—trying to balance creativity with real-world limits like budgets, timelines, and limited resources. We get it. If you're looking to attract more qualified leads or build a unique brand identity that truly stands out, we’re ready to work alongside you every step of the way.

We’ve spent years in both the creative and beverage sectors, and we’ve learned that the best way forward is through collaboration and strategic creativity. We want to be the kind of partner that understands your world and helps you make a lasting impact.

Our story

ZAM’d Studio started as an internal design team within Zam Apps, the creators of Claret, a planning and forecasting app for the beverage industry. Our journey began with a mission to help the beverage industry grow through creative support and smart design solutions. We saw an opportunity to offer something unique—dedicated design support for beverage brands that needed help standing out in a crowded market. ZAM’d Studio inherits a rich legacy of innovation and dedication, but more than that, we believe in the power of collaborative design to empower brands and simplify the journey to success.

We exist because we understand that building a brand in the beverage world isn’t easy. There are so many obstacles to navigate, from crowded markets to the pressures of keeping branding fresh and memorable. Our goal is simple: to help beverage and hospitality brands make genuine, lasting connections with their audiences through thoughtful, impactful design.

How we help these industries

ZAM’d Studio provides branding and interactive design services crafted to solve the challenges faced by beverage and hospitality brands. We work closely with marketers, founders, and stakeholders to create brand identities, websites, and experiences that truly resonate with audiences. Our services include:
