Working with digital marketing agency, Curve Interactive, I helped Fisher Outdoor Leisure launch U34, a new brand of clothes and bags designed especially for the urban cyclist.
Interviewing staff and drawing on Fisher's substantial marketing research helped me crystalize their philosophy and product benefits into engaging, persuasive copy.
My brief was to write key content for their site and to illustrate a 'personality' and style to be adopted by all in-house writers.
Web page: Philosophy U34 clothes and bags solve a problem faced by every urban cyclist - how to gear up for a comfortable ride into work, without the hassle of all that kit when you arrive.
Like you, we ride in any weather. But we don't want to arrive for a meeting with a crumpled shirt, or sit down for lunch in Lycra. And we don't always want to carry a change of clothes or ride with heavy bags on our backs.
So behind every U34 design is this simple philosophy. Our clothes and bags need to deliver much more than a comfortable ride. They need to work beyond the journey too, so you can enjoy all the technical qualities you'd expect of performance cycling gear, with stylish designs that look great around town or in the office.
Web page: Clever versatile bags Here's a dilemma you'll all recognise. You have a bag that's comfortable to carry in the city and fits all your stuff, but doesn't fix easily to your bike. So you carry it and your ride is compromised.
Enter our stripe rucksack, a bag that's practical, looks great and is comfortable to carry. Best of all, it works with our unique seat-post fixing system to slide in and lock to your bike in seconds - so there's no fuss. We've equally great solutions for pannier bags too.
