Strategy

Positioned the studio as a boutique wellness destination rather than just yoga classes. Built content around instructor expertise and community events. Targeted wellness-focused residents specifically rather than trying to reach the entire metro.

Execution

Created instructor profile content building personal brand equity for the studio's teachers. Optimized for 'yoga near me' and yoga-specific wellness terms. Ran Meta campaigns targeting health-conscious women aged 25–45 within 5 miles. Built email marketing for class promotions and community events.

Key Learnings

For boutique fitness, instructor personality and expertise drive more engagement than class descriptions alone. Early morning (6–8am) and after-work (6–8pm) class promotions perform significantly better for working professionals than midday content.
