Best Practices

• •Lead with Honesty: Always be transparent about your products and processes. Share the challenges as well as the successes to build a genuine connection with your audience.
• •Anchor in Your 'Why': Every piece of copy should connect back to the core values of community, sustainability, and improved urban living. Remind customers of the bigger mission behind the products.
• •Use Passionate & Purposeful Language: Employ strong, active verbs and a confident tone that reflects the brand's commitment and vision. Avoid generic marketing phrases in favor of more descriptive and evocative language.
• •Tell the Story: Continuously weave the founder's narrative and the brand's journey into your communications. Storytelling is a powerful tool that makes the brand more memorable and relatable.
• •Educate and Inspire: Use your platforms not just to sell, but to educate your audience about ethical fashion, sustainable choices, and the benefits of a cycling-centric lifestyle. This positions the brand as a thought leader and builds a stronger community.

Social Perception

The brand is perceived as highly conscious and ethically driven, reinforced by positive testimonials about its commitment to ethical production. Its products have some market presence, appearing on resale sites. The brand actively shapes its image as thoughtful and purpose-driven through its social media and blog, 'Clippings', though a broader public perception from widespread customer reviews or news articles is not evident.
