Rapha

Punchy campaign copy to launch Rapha and Zwift’s 2026 partnership.

The insight? Female athletes, at every level, want to win. Even if it’s just beating your best mate up a hill. But women’s sport is often depicted as soft, cuddly and always supportive – at the expense of competitive spirit. Time for a more realistic take.

I wrote copy that spoke to pros and club riders alike, giving them a grittier, more recognisable portrayal of what it’s really like to ride and compete.

“Everyone loves it, just thought I'd check in to let you know and say thanks again!” - my client.

“She’s your greatest competition. Your loudest cheerleader.
The one you want to beat. The one you want to win.
Rapha and Zwift are celebrating best rivals and fierce friends.
The women who give us a wheel to chase.
A line to follow. A reason not to hit snooze.
Because friendly competition pulls us forward.
The harder you go, the further she’ll get.”
