“Backbone
and Strava both embody and live the brands they are and represent,”
says Erik Joule, Strava’s chief marketing and commerce officer. “We both
believe in the power of human potential. We also believe that running
and cycling are the ultimate endurance sports, testing the boundaries of
human possibilities. The strategic horsepower of Backbone as well as
their ability to communicate stories in the most authentic and genuine
of ways is why we are most excited to come together as a team.”
