Attaquer

Rebuilding the whole growth stack for a cult cycling brand

The challenge

Strong creative, inconsistent attribution. Reported numbers swung between sources and the team couldn’t tell which channel was driving net-new revenue. The lifecycle program and the storefront hadn’t kept pace with the brand, and the US, the biggest opportunity, was underbuilt.

What we did

We rebuilt tracking through Elevar to server-side GTM and layered incrementality analysis on top of Meta and Google, so every decision runs on profit the business can see in its own numbers. Then we restructured paid around what the incrementality data said. Online revenue grew 50% year over year, with orders up in lockstep.

On lifecycle, we rebuilt the Klaviyo flows, redid segmentation, and tied campaign cadence to the racing calendar the audience lives by. Email-attributed revenue climbed 46%. On SEO, we own the strategy end to end, and organic search sessions are up 54% year over year.

We also led Attaquer’s US growth on the ground: in-person activations, group rides and events, dealer and bike-shop onboarding, and ambassador teams and relationships, all supported by paid media and press. We shot the ambassador-camp content and rented and wrapped the vans that carried it. Behind the store, we led the tech implementation, customer support, and the reviews program. The US is now the brand’s #1 international market, up 24% in revenue year over year.

What we built

Attaquer runs on Shopify Plus, and we keep adding to the store as the business grows into it:

  • A dealer bulk-order portal for wholesale accounts
  • A native wishlist to replace a third-party dependency
  • Size guides and mix-and-match kit bundles on the product pages
  • New product-page sections and a custom Cloudflare Worker handling forms, capture, and edge infrastructure

The mix-and-match kit builder we built into Attaquer's product pages: pick a jersey and bibs across any collection, live pricing, bundle discount applied automatically.

We also built and ran the Strava TIMEATTACK program end to end: the challenge, the segmentation, and the post-purchase flows. New-customer revenue on the program grew 111% year over year.

The outcome

Online revenue is up 50% and organic search is up 54%, year over year. The US is the brand’s biggest international market, and the weekly report now runs on tracking the team can check against Shopify.

Our own cycling bag brand, from one stimulus check to acquired

We started Lead Out! in 2020 with one pandemic stimulus check, grew it on its own margin with no outside money, and it was acquired.
