How Virtuly.dk Built the Thriving Deux Mille Community

The Deux Mille Community is a vibrant, thriving online platform dedicated to cycling enthusiasts passionate about conquering Europe’s highest cols. The creation and ongoing development of this community have been spearheaded by Virtuly.dk, a company renowned for its innovative digital solutions and comprehensive marketing strategies. Since its inception in 2016, the Deux Mille Community has grown exponentially, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Virtuly.dk in web development, app creation, social media management, and brand identity.

The Beginning: In 2016, the vision for the Deux Mille Community was brought to life with the launch of a dedicated webpage. The website featured seamless integration with Strava, allowing cyclists to track their rides and share their achievements with the community. Additionally, the platform incorporated other third-party integrations to enhance user experience and provide valuable insights.

Web Development and Strava Integration: Virtuly.dk developed a robust and user-friendly website that quickly became the heart of the Deux Mille Community. By integrating Strava, cyclists could automatically sync their rides, track their progress, and compete on leaderboards. This integration not only made the platform highly functional but also fostered a sense of competition and camaraderie among members.

App Development: Building on the success of the website, Virtuly.dk launched a dedicated app showcasing all 215 cols in Europe over 2000 meters. The app automatically synced with Strava, allowing users to easily log their climbs and access detailed information about each col. The app’s intuitive design and comprehensive features made it an essential tool for any serious cyclist.

Social Media Management: Recognizing the importance of social media in building a community, Virtuly.dk took charge of managing Deux Mille’s social media platforms. Through engaging content, regular updates, and interactive posts, they successfully grew the community’s presence on Instagram to over 45,000 followers. This impressive following has been instrumental in fostering a global community of like-minded cyclists. On X / Twitter, the community is growing rapidly too through daily posts and interactions.

Platform Redesigns: As the community grew, so did the need for periodic updates and redesigns to keep the platform fresh and relevant. Virtuly.dk has overseen multiple redesigns of the Deux Mille website and app, ensuring they remain user-friendly and visually appealing. Each redesign has incorporated user feedback and leveraged the latest technologies to enhance the overall experience.

Corporate Identity and Branding: Virtuly.dk has been responsible for establishing and maintaining Deux Mille’s corporate identity. This includes designing and redesigning the logo, creating merchandise designs, and developing a cohesive brand strategy. Their efforts have ensured that Deux Mille’s brand remains strong, recognizable, and aligned with the community’s values.

Merchandise Designs: In addition to digital solutions, Virtuly.dk has also created merchandise designs that resonate with the Deux Mille community. From cycling kits to branded accessories, these designs have helped promote the brand and foster a sense of belonging among members.
