Café Vitesse

An established name in West Flanders, Rijwielen Kurt Galle contacted the team at Say Hey. A new generation was ready to shift up a gear and continued as Café Vitesse.

Challenge

How can we launch a fun, innovative brand that perfectly encapsulates the desire for cycling? Cycling is fun and enjoyable, for young and old. Surely that should be contained in a fresh new name?

Shifting up a gear

Combining conviviality and expertise in cycling with a hip marketing vibe. After some heavy creative brainwork, Café Vitesse crossed the finish line as the eventual winner. A new brand was born.

branding

‘It should stand out, and preferably with a touch of nostalgia’, so that's what we aimed for in the bike shop's branding. You sense from the first encounter that there is a new dynamic among Café Vitesse's young guard. The whole thing was complemented by catchy slogans, clear colour choices and photography with a nod to the past.

Website

With the new name and new branding came a new website as well. A website that highlights the power of Café Vitesse, but is also practical enough to smoothly showcase the team's general bike offering and service. This is also where the results of the extensive brand photography were given a well-deserved place.

Opening of the store

To boost Café Vitesse's official start, we supported them with a launch campaign. Social media channels were set up and our marketers provided a targeted strategy. A combination of clever images, teasing animations and captivating captions.

However, Café Vitesse's cycling story does not stop in Zedelgem. Since 2023, Café Vitesse has been continuing its course towards Aalter. This East-Flemish cycling paradise of over 1,000 square metres will charm many a cyclist.

Interior

To complete the cycling experience, thorough thought was given to interior decoration. After all, Café Vitesse is more than a standard bike shop. They offer a total experience for the cycling enthusiast, give specialised advice and organise plenty of activities for the Café Vitesse fan club.

It's always bike o'clock at Café Vitesse!
