Bridging Heritage with Digital Brilliance

Hudson’s Bay is one of North America’s most iconic retail institutions, a name synonymous with heritage, style, quality, and trust for generations. However, in an era dominated by digital-first competitors, even legacy brands must evolve.

Despite its unmatched heritage and brand recall, Hudson’s Bay faced mounting challenges in sustaining visibility among younger, tech-savvy audiences. Their online campaigns were underperforming, website engagement was low, and their search presence didn’t reflect the brand’s market stature.

That’s where PathSeekers stepped in to modernize the Hudson’s Bay experience and reintroduce a classic name to a new audience digitally.

The
Challenges

Even with a powerful legacy, Hudson’s Bay found itself overshadowed by digital-native competitors.

Its online campaigns were fragmented and underperforming. Product discoverability was low, and the website’s design lacked the fluidity expected by today’s shoppers.

This limited engagement, reduced conversions, and diluted brand perception among younger demographics.

PathSeekers’ task was to bring the same level of excellence that Hudson’s Bay was known for in stores into every click, scroll, and search.
