CLIENT
MAJESTY Golf is a Japanese luxury consumer golf brand with a long and storied history. Meticulous Japanese craftsmanship results in golf clubs that combine beauty and performance. The artisanal clubs are inspired by a sense of harmony between golfers and their surroundings and are among the finest in the world.
SITUATION
Renowned in Japan as a luxury brand, MAJESTY Golf was relatively unknown in the U.S. market. They needed to develop a dedicated North American strategy and launch a website to engage avid American golfers. BRINK took a customer-led approach to the brand re-design and launched the website in separate modules that allowed MAJESTY to learn about local markets and refine their strategy accordingly.
Key Challenges
  • Translate MAJESTY Golf’s prized luxury offerings to the North American market
  • Develop a dedicated brand strategy catered to the perspective of North American golfers
  • Revamp existing creative identity, positioning, and content
  • Launch a new website and customer experiences quickly and effectively
  • Integrate, monitor, and optimize enterprise analytics
WHY BRINK
While intent on moving into the North American market, MAJESTY needed an agency partner who would deeply respect their budget and timeline. They looked to BRINK to come up with creative and effective solutions that would drive real results — while respecting the project scope.

03 / POSITIONING

Tailoring Luxury Products to a North American Audience

The discovery phase revealed that to successfully speak to North American golfers, MAJESTY needed to be positioned as not just a luxury brand, but also an approachable and accessible one. In Japan, there is high demand for luxury golf equipment and apparel from golfers of all skill levels. In North America, MAJESTY needed to communicate the value of their products to an audience that prioritizes skill over status.

05 / SCALABILITY

Internal Functionality Meets External Customization

Ultimately BRINK designed a mobile-friendly website that brought together the best of internal functionality and user experience. A WordPress website made content supremely accessible for internal MAJESTY team members, while also allowing for ongoing customization based on use analytics.

IMPACT
BRINK brought to life a defined brand, focused strategy, and compelling website that positioned MAJESTY as a new and successful entrant to the North American luxury golf market. New sales of high-end golf clubs, balls, and accessories immediately impacted the financial bottom line, while an efficient, scalable platform allowed for a cost-effective upfront investment. Upon completion of the new website, BRINK continued to work with MAJESTY to expand into content, CRM integration, and customer experience enhancement to further amplify brand recognition and revenue.
