Purpose First: The Brand Playbook Behind KRS
How do you build a purpose-led brand that resonates deeply with your niche, and still scales internationally? In this episode of B2B Inspired, we speak with Hugh Thomas, Brand Manager at Kids Ride Shotgun, a New Zealand company raising the next generation of mountain bikers across the USA, Europe and Asia.
Hugh shares how clearly defining purpose has shaped every part of their brand playbook, from product roadmap decisions to choosing distributors, and how deep customer understanding led to their hit “Dirt Hero” campaign. As Brand Manager, Hugh wears many hats, and gives insights into brand building in international markets, the importance of getting out the office to understand stories, and building a career in an industry he loves.
