Agoo Activewear Puts a New Spin on Guerilla Advertising

Mike Catherall
If you are down on the seawall or near English Bay this month you may notice that the languid bikes that cruise along the beaches are carrying more than just their rented owners.

YouŽll see an ecstatic young boy, dressed head to toe in Agoo activewear being swung around the central axis. The airplane spin heŽs receiving is a fun reminder of AgooŽs motto: stay out and play. And with SPF 15 built right into the clothes, and super sustainable stain-resistant bamboo fabric (for those grassy landings), Agoo is the perfect fit for this revolutionary venture.

The Žairplane spinŽ bike spot is a new form of advertising previously unseen in Vancouver and Agoo, always innovative in everything it does, was one of the first to capitalize. Teaming up with English Bay Bikes, where the state-of-the-art bikes are rented, and Immersion Creative, where the idea was hatched, a fun, new form of guerilla marketing was born.


The ad comes just in time to celebrate AgooŽs new spring and autumn line, and celebrate the discounts of its summer fashions. The sales are incredible, log onto their website at agoo4u.com to take advantage of discounts of up to 60% off.

You can check out the Agoo Airplane spin here.
