INTRODUCTION

After a decade of strong growth, Tommy Hilger Corporation suffered a signicant decline in sales and prots in 2000. Shareholders were worried when the company’s stock price decreased rapidly. That means favorite stock on Wall Street was now facing challenges.

In 1985; the Tommy Hilger brand was established by Thomas Jacob Hilger. He found immediate success by appealing directly to the hip-hop community and expanding its line of products. However; it had grown too popular and lost track of the market. The reduction in the prices negatively impacted the reputation of the company for good quality, while its image needs to be simplied.

In the years 2001 and 2002, the Tommy Hilger brand underwent major challenges which included a decrease in revenue and the departure of some of its top leadership. As the revenue fell down the CEO had to decide on an organic restructuring over regaining the lost ground in the US market.

Today after facing tons of challenges, Tommy Hilger has grown to become an apparel brand with 1,000 stores in over 90 countries worldwide. The company has agship stores in major cities such as New York, London, Paris, and Milan, and is currently actively pursuing Japan and Asia as vulnerable future markets.

This case study delves into the journey of Tommy Hilger, examining its strategic initiatives, marketing endeavors, and global expansion efforts.
