Corporate Infrastructure
Our relationship with BCycle began with the planning, building and organizing of marketing assets for business development, sponsor solicitation, program development, and public outreach. We gathered/developed assets to supplement every aspect of the business, from letterhead, key fobs and promotional goods to equipment renderings, user instruction panels, and safety information. As the business grew and opportunities flourished, we worked to ensure that critical resources were in place to win jobs and facilitate successful launches, quickly and confidently.
Business Development
Bike share programs are popular with local governments who want to provide environmentally-friendly, congestion-clearing transit alternatives to their populations. We create eye-catching marketing materials that allow BCycle to put its best foot forward when pursuing new systems. Proposal covers, renderings, planning documents, maps and localized graphics — all help present a polished look and persuasive sales pitch to drive successful outcomes.
Sponsors & Partners
As BCycle programs are funded by local governments who are ever mindful of bottom lines, it is imperative to defray infrastructure/operational costs with sponsorship and advertising programs. We work with BCycle to create sales collateral in support of pitch efforts, as well as working with sponsors/advertisers to design and implement system-wide campaigns.
Program Development
When a new BCycle program is established, we often work with the local teams to build customized launch and marketing programs that ensure a smooth implementation. Leveraging our bike share experience and existing materials from other cities, we work to build mindshare for the new system, get riders signed up, help everyone ride safely and confidently, and provide a framework for growth and success.
The Impact
BCycle has grown by leaps and bounds, rapidly expanding to serve 50+ cities on three continents. Continually innovating system infrastructure and operational efficiencies, BCycle has matured from an aspirational startup to one of the global leaders in the bike share industry.
