How do you get a region or country into the top 10 of favorite cycling and hiking destinations? Hicle creates a top-of-mind position of your destination among consumers through an integrated approach in the field of destination marketing. How will your outdoor or bike brand be the first brand consumers think of? Hicle helps promoting your business with online and offline marketing via bike and outdoor channels and partners.

The basis of an effective marketing campagne is the available data from studies and consumer surveys. Which factors are important when choosing a destination or specific brand? What are the strengths and weaknesses? And how is a destination or brand perceived by consumers?

The analysis of this data, and the main conclusions from interviews with clients and other involved parties are reflected in a marketing plan or a plan of action. Depending on the situation, Hicle utilizes a wide array of media channels online or offline to increase brand awareness.
