VELON WAS FORMED BY 11 PROFESSIONAL CYCLING TEAMS TO CREATE NEW WAYS TO ENGAGE FANS AND CREATE NEW REVENUE STREAMS FOR THE TEAM. ​

BACKGROUND

Velon emerged as a collective of 11 cycling teams, aiming to boost their influence and financial stability in a sport dominated by major race organisers. The group sought to create new income sources, reducing their reliance on sponsorship alone.​

SOLUTION

Our initial task was to craft a brand for this bold venture, aligning the diverse interests of 11 pro cycling teams. After agreeing on the name and tagline ("make cycling better"), we developed a comprehensive brand identity system, which included how each team could use the brand. ​

Following the launch, we continually explored innovative ways to expand the business by engaging fans, media, and the wider industry.

Our work spanned a broad range of marketing materials, including launch videos, on-screen graphics, race-specific branding, B2B support, fan engagement initiatives, event activities, and sonic branding.​

Throughout this process, we aimed to create a cohesive brand that resonated with all stakeholders in the cycling world.
