Hi,
I am Zach the founder and manager of Merch and Effect. My small team of 17 are foremost and above all a happy team.

I never thought my career would send me in the direction of merchandising. After working at CUB Fosters for 10 years, the opportunity became available for me to change paths and explore the new venture of merchandising. I did have to think about this move! After accepting the role and working within the industry for 2 years, I learnt about merchandising, but more importantly, I discovered how to run a business ethically and morally. This no MBA could have taught me!

This learning has made me the happy man that I am today. Though merchandising wasn't my 'intended' career, it is through this business which is fulfilling and challenging, that I have made amazing connections and relationships with some of the most creative and forward thinking people I could hope to meet. These people challenge me to be as creative and progressive in this field as I can be. Something I never thought merchandising would offer me!

I will be forever grateful to the one significant client who supported me up 10 years ago when I first started my company. They are proudly still my clients and we enjoy a happy and collaborative relationship today.

How did we get here....we never wanted to be the biggest, but we did want to be the best in what we do. Today we can happily say that we know what it takes to deliver a successful merchandise campaign and guarantee our design and quality 100%. 10 years experience in this challenging industry affords us the expertise and relationship building skills to deliver 100% of the time. We deliver style and substance to some of the most leading and edgy clients across the globe, who demand the same in return! It's built on relationship and creativity and wanting to push the boundaries of design to create a most unique product.

We create merchandise.... not reproduce promotional products. As an original next-generation merchandise company we change the way merchandise and touch points are delivered, always sparking conversations.

Our mission is to make you and your brands look good...if you look good, we look good...

Thank You

Zach Hegde
