Activity

As MAAP’s chosen European PR agency, we bear sole responsible for managing all media relations and press communications. Activity includes writing and distributing press releases announcing product launches, seeding thought leadership media interviews and orchestrating product reviews – always with an eye on telling brand stories and communicating key messages. The brand regularly challenges us to extend our own reach into new fields such as fashion – a task which both keeps us on our toes and encourages us to always pursue progression.

Results

In the first 24 months of working together, we achieved 330 pieces of quality media coverage, spanning the UK, EU and, on occasion further afield. Through our involvement, MAAP has become a regular sight for readers of HYPEBEAST, the leading online destination for men’s contemporary fashion and streetwear; and Highsnobiety, a daily news website covering streetwear, sneakers, cars and lifestyle. This presents the brand to new audiences outside of cycling, paving the way for further growth into new areas of diversification and expansion.
