Introduction
HardTuned is a global streetwear brand, founded in 1997, with design studios in the Gold Coast (Australia) and Osaka (Japan) and owned by car-enthusiasts who wanted to create premium JDM-inspired and drift-inspired apparel and accessories. The brand reinvests 60% of profits back into motorsport sponsorships, community events, and athlete support, while operating globally with offices and warehouses in Australia, Japan, Sweden, and the U.S.
Insight
Hardtuned partnered with Megantic in December 2023 to conduct a feasibility study and in-depth website research for the USA site, aimed at creating a strategic blueprint for the US site’s architecture ahead of its planned restructure. The business has been developing its online retail and digital presence, but had yet to achieve meaningful results in organic growth.
Our Approach
The HardTuned strategy started with comprehensive research, progressed into full SEO implementation and was strengthened by ongoing support and continual improvements.
