APPROACH

Love over intimidation

We created a brand world that feels open and welcoming, rather than exclusive to athletes or influencers. Vélo combines a premium look with a personal tone, supported by a booking flow built for ease and connection.

From the energy of the studio to the clarity of its digital touchpoints, every element was designed to turn exercise into experience. The result is a brand that attracts a broad community and keeps riders coming back.

Structure

We optimised every digital touchpoint, from booking to content, ensuring clarity and ease of use. A seamless experience reinforced credibility and made growth sustainable.

Content

We developed short formats and amplified authentic community stories. This approach boosted organic reach and created a content engine rooted in real people and impact.

04

Trust

We acted as Vélo’s strategic partner, not a supplier. Shared ownership and consistent collaboration defined the launch and laid the foundation for long-term growth.
