Start from zero. Finish at 10,000 RPM.

Project Thumper specializes in high-end, custom builds and intricate modifications for German vehicles. Recognizing the potential complexity of these projects, Project Thumper adopts an approach that emphasizes simplicity. The entire process is distilled into three key steps: Design - Build - Launch.

This wasn’t just a brand launch, it was a machine built for momentum.

Nothing off-the-shelf. Nothing half-measured. Every element of Project Thumper’s identity was crafted for maximum tension between refinement and rawness. We set out to build a brand that feels hand-engineered for the obsessed: tuned, balanced, and ready to tear up the track, all while turning heads on the concourse lawn.

Tactics That Delivered Torque

The logo and wordmark mirror the obsessive detail that goes into every Project Thumper build. Influenced by the founder’s first VW Mark 1 Caddy, the aesthetic balances classic car culture with the edge of a modern tuning shop. This is a sleek, precision-built logo system with nods to custom culture and German engineering.

Precision in Every Pixel.

From thumb-stopping mobile experiences to an immersive web platform built for lead generation and loyalty. We designed Project Thumper’s site and social experience as a digital garage. It's clean, functional, and easy to get lost in. Early architecture prioritized mobile, but every touchpoint was designed to scale with the brand.

TikTok and YouTube expand the throttle.

Pit Crew Meets Streetwear.

Streetwear DNA meets garage grit. Initial merch was team-only. Now it’s sought-after gear. We established an early line with embroidered hoodies, custom patches, and collab-ready items to prep for future drops.

Not just seen - Felt.

Turning every surface—walls, vans, tool boxes, into brand real estate. Custom vinyl wraps, interior shop signage, and mobile touchpoints expanded the brand’s presence beyond digital. Building reputation in the real world one bolt at a time.

Build. Measure. Scale.

You can’t build loyalty if you don’t know your people. We created branded surveys and newsletter workflows that helped turn gearheads into subscribers—and subscribers into fans.
