Wayup
Wayup is an alt-beverage brand, dreamt up by Hopewell. As an established brewery, they wanted a new space that allowed them to explore their curiosities beyond beer. Piquette, kombucha, hard seltzer, or something else — Wayup is their playground for all things ‘not quite beer.’

We set out to create a brand that evoked an atmospheric journey and encouraged curiosity and wonder — which was achieved through playful type, glossy illustration, and dreamy copy.
Illustration is a central part of Wayup’s visual identity, creating a joyful and dreamy world to explore while you sip away. Using metalized film, subtle spot varnish, and a wavy die cut — there are new discoveries with every turn of the can.

We crafted a social media launch plan to help introduce the brand in a way that kept the audience curious and energized.
To create some structure around flavor naming, we developed simple guidelines that would ensure consistency for future products.
A big thank you to the talented crew of Samantha, Stephen, Jonathan, and Jake at Hopewell, illustrator Julia Dufossé, and photographer Jack X. Li. ︎
