Bigger Than Beer
Working with Fizzics to develop a long-term vision, frog looked to the company’s core values and expertise: bringing people together with an unmatched technology that delivers fresh from the tap beer. frog saw the opportunity to extend the specialty brand to a mainstream consumer base that appreciates traditions around food and drink.
Inspired Design
frog created a fresh brand identity, design language, and naming convention, evolving the original Fizzics product into a more portable, efficient, and modern offering. Inspired by the beer community and historical references, frog created rapid form studies, refined them into prototypes and perfected the designs for manufacturing.
Storytelling and Launch

Featured in the Kickstarter campaign, frog’s video and photographic assets were instrumental in helping potential backers and beer drinkers understand, rally behind, and ultimately fund Waytap.
