Propelling sales and brand recognition with new positioning, packaging, and product launches.
Warped Wing Brewing Co. turned to Hyperquake for help with declining sales and inconsistent branding in its IPA-focused lineup amidst fierce competition in the craft brewery market.
Leveraging deep insights, we devised a strategy focused on brand consistency, using a sociable, community-driven narrative to appeal to a broader audience beyond craft beer enthusiasts. To meet market demand, Hyperquake assisted in naming, designing, and launching the brand's new hard seltzers, sodas, and its inaugural light beer offering, Fly Light Lager. To drive awareness, we launched a Fly Light campaign, a co-branded sponsorship with the University of Dayton's NIL Collective, Dayton 6th, elevating both brands and expanding their presence within University of Dayton Athletics and fans in the community.

the success of Fly Light and Dayton6th NIL collaborative has inspired other local collaborations, scaling growth for Dayton 6th, UD Athletics, and Warped Wing
To enter the growing Seltzer market, we created a unique and expandable can design inspired by early 20th-century poster art, paying tribute to the era of the Wright Brothers while differentiating from the brands with tall white cans spanning the category.
In creating a line of products for a growing non-alcoholic market, we designed Warped Wing's soda lineup, distinguishing it from their beers and seltzers while maintaining cohesion with the overall brand.

By applying a distinct yet harmonious design to glass bottles and paper labels for its limited release products, the brand allowed loyal customers to distinguish both the products and themselves from the brand's flagship cans.

"The team at Hyperquake are wizards. This brand refresh is more reflective of our rich history and spirit of invention. It really celebrates the classic and simple elements that feel authentic to who we are and that differentiates us from other breweries."
