Sharper Focus

Improving The Experience of 100,000 Harley Owners Worldwide

Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) is the world's largest and most successful factory-sponsored owners club. With a simple philosophy: ‘Ride and Have Fun’.

The need:

H.O.G had a fragmented approach to customer management, which together with poor customer service and delivery inefficiencies meant that the huge value, represented by H.O.G. members was not being realised. H.O.G required a partner that would provide an improved membership experience for its 100,000 H.O.G. members worldwide, whilst making cost savings and increasing the size and value of the membership base.

  • A multi-lingual contact centre
