Social Media
Athletes of any stripe are a passionate bunch who know just about everything about their sport. The men and women dedicated to the spin life are 39.7% more driven and knowledgeable. (NOTE: We made this number up.)
So, we spent a fair amount of time understanding the audience, developing an editorial calendar, and creating inspiring and informed posts. Our twin goals were to increase the engagement rates and follower counts on Facebook and Instagram. We also helped RiDE’s instructors engage with their followers by offering coaching sessions.
Communications
We connected with the RiDE audience outside social media by writing and publishing blog posts covering nutrition, recovery, and exercise topics. These posts included tips for a great ride, profiles of new instructors, and weekly class information. We then spun that content into a weekly newsletter sent via email.
