Giant Bicycles

Giant is the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world. As the category shifted toward social-first discovery and paid acquisition, Giant needed a partner who could shape the strategy and execute it across multiple international properties.

Challenge§ 01

What was actually broken.

Giant was shifting its marketing mix toward social and paid digital across both US and Global accounts, without the in-house capacity to do it well.

  • / 01

    The mix was tilting toward social and paid digital faster than in-house capacity could absorb.

  • / 02

    Multiple regional pages, product lines and buyer segments — road, MTB, e-bike, lifestyle.

  • / 03

    Accountability was required against brand and sales goals, not impressions.

Strategic consulting first

/ 03

Earn additional pages

As US and Global performed, additional pages were folded into scope.

Report against the business

Tied creative work to brand health and sales contribution rather than vanity metrics.
