Once an iconic leader in the motorcycle world, Kawasaki was struggling to make itself visible once again, despite a cult following. The brand faced a pivotal challenge: to reclaim its place in the hearts of riders by modernizing its image, connecting with their community, and staying true to its bold, nostalgic personality—all in a rapidly evolving and competitive market.
To reveal the brand’s personality, to leverage a community, and to drive business growth. We knew we had to capitalize on the motorsport trend in contemporary culture, balance kitsch with boldness, and reiterate a bike brand that has it all—something for each individual.
A new brand territory emerged—we developed a bold, appropriable, and unifying manifesto to empower Kawasaki’s passionate communities. Leveraging a mix of digital, social media, and point-of-sale activations, we crafted a 360° campaign amplified by a unique influencer strategy.
Five passionate creators joined our movement to highlight the multifaceted tribes of francophone Kawasaki enthusiasts–Kiffeurs, Kasse-cous, Koureurs, and nostalgiKs—and created an online movement that balanced the brand’s storied heritage with modern cultural relevance.
