CLIENT
Founder Felipe’ Lavalle of Brooklyn, NY

CHALLENGE
Taking notice of the approximately 56m tourists flowing in-out of New York City annually, Felipe’ also identified a little white space at the ‘edge’. Jumping all in to an entrepreneurial launch of a NYC Bike Tour Company, he promised tourists an alternative experience to the gawker traps, a best of ‘off the beaten path’  including the latest happening sites in Brooklyn –which at the time in 2014 was deemed the epi-center of cool for the entire planet -& maybe still remains so. Revenue climbed for the first 9 months nurtured by aggressive social media campaigning, a few well-placed PR articles & word of mouth buzz; however, a sales plateau was soon reached. Felipe’ needed to drive more traffic & double revenue to sustain the business.
