Cycling creative angles for media buyers
Describe the ride — the morning climb, the descent, the post-ride coffee — and introduce the product as what made the ride better, faster, or more comfortable. Media Buyers should adapt this by focusing on DTC bike brands and the specific waiting on creative teams slows down testing they face when marketing cycling products.
