havebike, ‘Britain’s largest independent bike repair company’, has appointed Fusion Media as its PR agency. As a leading marketing communications agency for cycling and active people, Fusion Media will help raise awareness of havebike across specialist, mainstream and national media titles as well as secure influencer partnerships.
havebike was founded in 2010 by then City of London finance lawyer Nick Brown who became frustrated at the lack of bicycle shops in the business district and the lengthy waiting time to get a bicycle serviced.
Determined to create a company that was convenient to the customer and put bike repair at its centre, Brown created an innovative collect and return bicycle service that currently operates across all areas inside the M25 as well as select regions surrounding London, including all of Surrey.
Customers can use havebike’s online system to book three different levels of service where their bike will be collected, repaired and returned within 48-72 hours.
‘The company prides itself on the quality of service they offer and are experts in servicing all bikes from road bikes to e-bikes, mountain bikes and kids bikes. havebike is also trusted by London’s Police, Ambulance and Fire Brigade to build, customise and service their bicycle fleets to ensure they’re fit for purpose. havebike has also previously serviced large hire fleets including the Santander Cycles.’
havebike founder Nick Brown said, “We are delighted to be working with Fusion Media whose expertise, passion and strategic knowledge of the cycling landscape in the UK is unrivalled. We look forward to working with the team to help to raise our brand awareness and brand loyalty amongst cycling enthusiasts, bicycle users and those that have recently discovered the benefits of going by bike.”
For over 12 years, London-based Fusion Media has been focusing on PR, digital and social services for active sports brands. As a fully-integrated boutique agency, its portfolio of clients includes brands such as Red Bull, Evans Cycles, Specialized, Shimano and Brompton.
Adam Tranter, Founder and CEO at Fusion Media, said “havebike has identified a gap in the market and their work is allowing people to get back on their bikes quickly and efficiently with their convenient collect-and-drop service.
“At a time when cycling is on the up in the UK, and has never been more important to the wider public, we’re looking forward to elevating havebike’s brand across a wide variety of media and influencers.”
