Trek

Trek Case Study

Born from five employees working in a barn in 1976, Trek was already creating a legacy building the world's best bikes. Thirteen years later, Trek was leading the pack, but needed an international branding and marketing strategy to bring new products to market, target even more riders and leave competitors in the dust.

Approach

By shifting focus from product to experience, HDC changed the way Trek talked to consumers, sharing above all else their relentless passion for riding and the creation of the products that shape experiences.

Solution

We helped propel Trek into a new era of growth by creating a powerful brand strategy, integrated marketing programs and an engaging online experience.

Climbing to the top involved hundreds of dynamic product launches, a comprehensive web strategy, stunning catalogs, moving print, outdoor and TV advertising campaigns and extensive, integrated programs and promotions.

Results

It's been over 20 years since our partnership with Trek began, and we've helped make Trek a global market leader by: Growing sales by more than 1000% Increasing web traffic by over 1200% Creating award-winning product launches, commercials and digital photography

It's been a fun road. And like the riders we all are at HDC—we love this ride.
