The Project

Hilton Honors came to HZ looking to rebrand and relaunch their experiences website. The original site was outdated, difficult for the client to manage, and difficult for users to engage with. The goal was to create a first-class site that mirrored the quality of the experiences offered — one that emphasized exploration and engagement.

In the end, we made the journey just as engaging as the destination.
