Competitive Analysis
Main Competitors
The main competitors of Hustling Co are:
1. CHNGE - https://chnge.com
a. Strengths: CHNGE has a strong online presence and is known for their ethical
practices among their online community.
b. Weaknesses: CHNGE’s website features a simple layout. It is difficult to decipher
between the headings and subheadings as the fonts used are limited.
2. NOAH - https://noahny.com
a. Strengths: NOAH was founded by the former creative director of Supreme, Brendon
Babenzien. The brand has in-store locations within the U.S. and overseas, expanding
their consumer reach beyond their online community.
b. Weaknesses: NOAH’s website is easy to navigate but features small fonts, making
much of their contents difficult to read.
Competitive Advantage
1. Geared towards an ever-evolving community of dreamers.
2. Fairly new to the marketing industry which presents the opportunity for the brand to
make their consumers feel as though they are part of Hustling Co’s journey.
3. A creative platform meant to inspire others.
Project Report Page 6 of 11
Current Site Review
Perception
Hustling Co’s current website is minimalistic, professional and inviting.
Positive Features
1. Hustling Co’s website is minimalistic in its appearance, making their message of
“inspiring the hustle in others” easy to decipher.
2. The content within their website gives off a warm and inviting vibe.
Areas for Improvement
1. Needs more content to help encourage the engagement of their consumers, such as a
blog or comment section. The lack of content could be due to the young age of Hustling
Co as they have not been active online until recently.
2. Needs a section that features testimonials and consumer reviews to help solidify the
authenticity of Hustling Co.

  • 5. Project Report Page 5 of 11 Competitive Analysis Main Competitors The main competitors of Hustling Co are: 1. CHNGE - https://chnge.com a. Strengths: CHNGE has a strong online presence and is known for their ethical practices among their online community. b. Weaknesses: CHNGE’s website features a simple layout. It is difficult to decipher between the headings and subheadings as the fonts used are limited. 2. NOAH - https://noahny.com a. Strengths: NOAH was founded by the former creative director of Supreme, Brendon Babenzien. The brand has in-store locations within the U.S. and overseas, expanding their consumer reach beyond their online community. b.

Hustling Co’s website is minimalistic in its appearance, making their message of “inspiring the hustle in others” easy to decipher. 2. The content within their website gives off a warm and inviting vibe. Areas for Improvement 1. Needs more content to help encourage the engagement of their consumers, such as a blog or comment section. The lack of content could be due to the young age of Hustling Co as they have not been active online until recently. 2. Needs a section that features testimonials and consumer reviews to help solidify the authenticity of Hustling Co.
