PHNX Boards has a challenging road in an increasingly saturated snowboard market. Their snowboard is unique because there are no other products in between cheap plastic sleds and expensive resort-style snowboards, however, they must compete against both ends of the spectrum.

HSM did a great job with our Winter campaign and "End of Season" sale. The data that we got back revealed a lot about our product which should set us up really well for next season.
