Building Products and Home Improvement

If you’re in the building products and home improvement industry, you know your audiences prioritize online channels. It’s crucial to understand what they’re looking for and where they’re looking. Builders, contractors, architects, and designers all have unique needs that differ from what homeowners need too.

So the key question is: What role does your manufacturer site or other digital experience play in meeting those needs?

Hanson has been partnering with clients in the building products and home improvement space for over 30 years. That translates into deep industry insights that empower us to create remarkable experiences for you (like the customized AR app we developed for VELUX^® or the world-class rebrand and website for Metrie).

What excites us about the building and home improvement industry?

“For me, it’s the constant problem solving. Complex products sold through complex channels require a strategic approach. Most of these challenges come down to leading and supporting our partners through digital transformation. ”

— Mindy Withrow | Managing Director, Strategic Planning

What excites us about the building and home improvement industry?

“The channel complication is what makes this industry exciting to me. I like when I’ve done the research into something as if I’m the customer, and then six months later I can use that knowledge in a project for my home. ”

— Joe Holub | Director, Experience Delivery

What excites us about the building and home improvement industry?

“A lot of times these products aren’t usable by themselves—they might be part of a whole system, so we get the chance to participate in a lot of configurators and visualizers in order to build things that are more interesting than a standard product catalog or marketing site. ”

— Dave Rodriguez | Managing Director, Design & Development

What excites us about the building and home improvement industry?

“The evolving nature of tech is a very exciting thing, and I like to think that we do that in the building space. We take an existing brand and/or product and help them deliver it to a whole new audience in a whole new way. We’re setting building product companies up for the future. ”
