Ride for Mental Health (2024)
Canada-Wide
“BUILDING MOMENTUM, ONE RIDE AT A TIME”
For the 2024 Ride For Mental Health, we embraced a community-focused approach, expanding the event nationwide. Our strategy aimed to drive registrations coast to coast by engaging our core rider network and attracting new participants.
Our mission was to surpass 2023’s registration goals, and we achieved just that. Community rides took centerstage, from partnering with the Ontario Provincial Police to breathtaking rides through the Rocky Mountains. We crafted an organic strategy, keeping participants informed and engaged with meaningful incentives, including designing two exclusive jerseys for achieving fundraising milestones.
Our paid strategy specifically targeted new riders unfamiliar with the organization and the event, primarily utilizing the Meta platform. To amplify our presence, we illuminated key landmarks, including the High Level Bridge in Edmonton, Niagara Falls, and the Calgary Tower.
The impact this year was unprecedented, and we are thrilled about what’s to come in 2025.
Building momentum, one ride at a time.

Battlefield Bike Ride 2024
Normandy, France
“HONOURING HISTORY DRIVING CHANGE”
The Battlefield Bike Ride took us across the waters to the historic grounds of Normandy, France, centered around their mission: Honouring the Fallen, Helping the Living. Over 5 days, we cycled to pay homage to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during D-Day in WWII.
Our mission was to amplify the riders’ fundraising efforts in the lead-up to the event. We crafted compelling emails, assembled fundraising packs, and implemented a strategic organic social media plan to keep participants informed and motivated.
During the ride, we directed our lens at individual stories and the essence of the event, showcased on a newly launched social account. The result? The campaign achieved the highest increase in fundraising efforts ever experienced during event week, surpassing past goals.
