Sena Bluetooth, a technology company from Korea that manufactures Bluetooth audio devices, entered the North American market with a dream of playing within the two-wheel powersports/motorsports industry. The company, heavily focused on product marketing and technology specs upon arrival, was virtually unknown before engaging DRIVEN360 in 2012.
With the complicated challenge of convincing engineering-focused leadership in Korea to evolve the brand into an emotionally-connective lifestyle brand for the western market, DRIVEN360 strategists helped the company eventually rally around its #RideConnected integrated brand strategy. Fast forward to today: Sena is the undisputed preferred marque for everyone from the everyday enthusiast to globally renowned riders/athletes and adventure influencers on two wheels.
