Creating a Dynamic, Headless Shopify and Contentful Experience that Synchronizes with Hydrow's Brand

Hydrow is a revolutionary rowing machine designed with a deep understanding of human physiology, motivation, and accessibility, making it a uniquely effective piece of fitness equipment.

To further elevate their brand and connect with their audience, Hydrow sought a partner to create a dynamic and engaging digital experience that captured the essence of their brand theme: "Live Outdoor Reality."

The Challenge

Hydrow was looking for a solution that would enable an engaging customer experience, improve conversions, and allow their team the ability to seamlessly manage the customer experience via the CMS.
