This session will take a look inside how to make brand line-ups feel accessible to as many consumers as possible. Razor is well known for its iconic kick scooter, beloved by a generation of kids, but awareness around its top-notch adult line-up of rides needed increased customer engagement and focus. Josh will discuss how leveraging innovative marketing tools and strategies is helping Razor evolve the brand so that it remains inclusive of the lines kids delight in while showcasing Razor’s adventurous side as well for adults with a robust line-up that includes electric scooters, motorbikes, and more. Josh will dive into the importance of strategic marketing and branding including digital content, strategic ad buys, social media, activations, and brand partnerships.

Brands are about giving your audience stories; regardless of the product/digital platform, first and foremost
you need to provide a sense of purpose and connection to the way that could be expressed by your
enthusiasts.
Razor = a set of wheels -- be it bike, skateboard, or scooter, are our first taste of freedom. They transport us
beyond the driveway, away from supervision. They help us stretch our wings and imagination; explore ideas;
develop a sense of balance, strength, confidence, and style. It's how we get there, it's how we have fun, it's
how we get away, it's how we find ourselves...
They're not just scooters and bikes, they're essential tools of youth and extensions of our identity.
