The Brains have developed a data-driven lead generation strategy that guarantees high quality leads. It’s a multi-step process carried out by our in-house industry experts.
- Campaign goals are set – we agree on the campaign KPIs with you in advance, ensuring that clear goals for monthly lead volumes and cost per lead are set.
- Personas and targeting – we workshop your ideal client, define which personas to target and what messaging will be most effective.
- Content strategy and advertising approach – we recommend the channels, messaging and funnels that will best match your campaign ambitions, providing sample ad copy, suggested titles for supporting content and outlines for any articles being written.

Which digital marketing channels are best for my gym?
Before picking what channels you use to market your gym, we suggest that you do some analysis of your target audience:
- What age range are you looking to target?
- What channels do they already use?
- What is their income?
- What are their current fitness levels?
- What’re the chances that they will continue to keep going to the gym for years to come?
Once you know a bit more about your target audience, you’ll be in a much better place to start choosing the correct channels to reach them on, otherwise, you could waste a chunk of your marketing budget on demographics that have no interest in your services.
One of the benefits of marketing for gyms is the fact that you are dealing with a huge demographic, so there is lot’s room to become niche, and laser focus on one specific group to target.
