Information on current marketing campaigns by Larry vs Harry AND Riese & Müller is not available. Likely, their campaigns (if any done by them) are not on a big level which is why the information on them is not available in the public data. The campaigns done are probably kept confidential due to the competition in the market.
In order to find out the current marketing campaign we first checked the official website of both the companies scanning through their publications, newsroom, journals because if there was any such campaign that resulted in the boost of their sale then the companies usually include that in their website along with the results of the campaign. However, through this approach, we were able to find the information above mentioned.
We checked the social media platforms for both the companies which included Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube to find out if the companies have posted anything about their current running marketing campaigns or if they have participated in any kind of E-bike events, exhibitions, expos. The approach was considered because social media is one of the best ways for any company to inform its target market about a certain campaign and it serves them the best to attract new buyers. During this strategy, we also manually checked for both the companies in the Facebook and Twitter ad libraries however it did not show any search results.
We then moved on to check for the marketing campaigns through ad tools which could give us information on current as well as old ads that were launched by the companies. We checked through a big spy, free spy, power ad spy, AdPlexity, SpyPush among others to find out if there are any ads by these companies related to a marketing campaign, which are not available publicly.
