The Hovis advert which sees a young boy delivering bread up one of the UK’s steepest hills - Gold Hill - on a push bike, is iconic. We re-imagined the 1973 Ridley Scott film, and welcomed back the original ‘Hovis boy’ (now a retired fire-fighter), but this time he was cycling up the hill on an Evans e-bike. Unlike in the original, this time (thanks to the e-bike) he made it to the top. Outreach links were directed to a content hub, which drove traffic and authority to Evans website.
