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.
