ABOUT HOPS & BRANDING
Over his career Nick has gained over 20 years of design and branding experience working in the entertainment business, branding world class properties and in the music business, helping artists sell millions of albums. At Hops & Branding we’re applying that experience, combined with our love for craft beer, to specialize in branding breweries, distilleries, festivals, bars and restaurants in the craft beer and spirits industry as well as consumer packaged goods.
Hops & Branding is a small, one-man, award winning design studio run by Creative Director and Designer Nick Gamma. Since 2014, Hops & Branding delivers design and branding that cuts through a crowded marketplace and helps breweries distinguish themselves from the competition. Hops & Branding serves clients throughout Connecticut and in New York and Canada.
