Challenge

Hyperlite Mountain Gear makes the best ultralight backcountry gear in the world. During the pandemic, when the world turned to the outside for activity and connection, HMG needed to reach new audiences despite limited supply chains while not watering down its rock-solid brand.

Through Strategic Web Design & Development, Email Marketing, Performance Marketing Strategy & Management, & Data-Driven Modeling & Reporting, we helped drive a ROAS of 5x and Record-Breaking New Customer Acquisition.

Challenge

The Shelter Institute's Shopify-based tools store had not been updated in several years and showed its age with a decaying UI and missed opportunities for marketing engagement

Solution

We sprinted to deliver a UI refresh and migrated to a modern OS2.0 theme. We updated navigation to support the customer journey, implemented enhanced data feeds, and worked to improve data and metadata structures for consistency and efficiency. The new foundation has triggered a new phase of growth.
