A “Go” for Gocycle

Headquartered in London, Gocycle tapped Skyya as its U.S. AOR to increase its brand awareness in the States and to drive sales of its new model, the Gocycle GX – a Fast Folding eBike ideal for everyday commuting in urban markets. Primarily a media relations engagement; Skyya developed and executed a winning launch strategy to secure news day press plus reviews and inclusion in round-ups to position Gocycle in the U.S. as the leader in the electric bike space with the perfect urban e-bike. Going into the engagement, Gocycle was largely unknown in the U.S. market.
