• •Maintain an Aspirational Yet Inclusive Voice: While showcasing elite performance, ensure the language also encourages personal achievement for all dedicated cyclists. Frame challenges and products as tools for personal bests.
• •Highlight Founder Story & Pro-Cycling Roots: Subtly weave in references to Yanto Barker's pro background and the brand’s "born in the peloton" ethos to reinforce authenticity and expertise.
• •Showcase Quality & Italian Craftsmanship: Regularly mention the "Made in Italy" aspect and the premium quality of materials to justify the price point and underscore the value.
• •Foster Community & Engagement: Use calls to action that invite cyclists to join the LC__CC, participate in Strava challenges, or share their own cycling stories, reinforcing the community value. Use user-generated content where possible, showcasing real cyclists.
