The Problem

Your Studio Is Established.
So Why Is Growth Stalling?

You've done the hard part — built a real school, earned real loyalty, survived the early years. But the levers that got you here have stopped working. Referrals are drying up. Your mats aren't full. And the marketing you've tried either didn't convert or cost more than it returned.

◆ 01
Operating below capacity
Your school can handle more students than you currently have. Every empty mat is revenue you're not earning — and organic growth alone won't fill it at the pace you need.
◆ 02
Trial conversions under 50%
If fewer than half the students who walk in for a trial are signing memberships, you're losing people at the most critical moment. More leads won't fix a leaking funnel — a system will.
◆ 03
Members leaving too soon
Retention under 10 months means you're working twice as hard just to stay flat. Acquiring new students only compounds your growth when existing ones stay longer.
◆ 04
No time to handle leads
You're teaching classes, managing staff, running operations. Following up with 20–30 new leads every month — fast enough to actually convert them — isn't something you can do alone.
◆ 05
Ad spend with nothing to show
You've tried running ads yourself and got inconsistent results, or hired an agency that charged a retainer regardless of outcome. Activity isn't the same as results.
◆ 06
Growth that depends on you
Right now your growth is tied to your personal effort and your network. That's not scalable, predictable, or compounding. It has a ceiling — and you've hit it.
What We Fix

Three Levers.
One System.

Most agencies focus on one thing — getting you leads. The FORGE Program works across all three dimensions of studio growth simultaneously, because leads alone don't build a business.

Get More Members
Paid acquisition across Meta and Google, fast-launch reactivation campaigns, and a fully automated lead follow-up system that converts bookings into trials and trials into members — without you lifting a finger.

Charge More
Review campaigns that build your local authority and social proof — so prospects arrive pre-sold and your perceived value rises. We also install proven sales scripts, closing processes, and conversion SOPs into your school so your team can confidently charge what you're actually worth.

Keep More Members
We install retention SOPs, member experience systems, and conversion frameworks into your school — so you're not filling the front door while losing students out the back.

The System

The FORGE Program™

Five integrated campaigns and systems running simultaneously — not a single ad and a hope, but a complete growth infrastructure built around your school and managed entirely by us.

Paid Acquisition — We Buy Every Click
We run Meta and Google keyword search campaigns from our budget, not yours. Every creative, every audience test, every dollar of ad spend is on us. You pay per showed booking — meaning if a parent brings two kids to a trial, you pay for one booking, not two. One family. One charge. That's it.
Meta Ads Google Search 100% ad spend covered Pay per showed booking One family = one charge
O
Optimise
Top-to-Bottom Optimisation — Ads, Funnels, and Everything In Between
We continuously manage, optimise, and scale every layer of your growth system — from the campaigns and funnels driving bookings, to your sales process, pricing structure, and class structure inside your school. Every dollar you pay us is reinvested directly into scaling the campaigns already working, so your results grow on autopilot without you managing a single budget or making a single decision.

Systems That Keep Students on the Mat
Growth only compounds when retention keeps pace with acquisition. We install the SOPs, member experience frameworks, and retention practices that extend average student lifespan inside your school — because every month a member stays is revenue you don't have to re-earn.
Retention SOPs Member experience Churn reduction Longer LTV

Follow-Up That Converts — Until They Say Yes or No
Most studios lose 40–60% of their leads to slow or non-existent follow-up. We install a detailed multi-channel automated sequence that chases every lead persistently — SMS, email, and retargeting — until they book, show, sign, or explicitly opt out. No lead falls through the cracks.
Multi-channel follow-up Automated sequences Higher show rates Higher close rates

Review Campaigns That Sell Before You Do
We run targeted review campaigns that build your local authority — so that by the time a prospect walks in for their trial, they've already read 40 glowing reviews and are halfway convinced. This increases conversions, supports higher pricing, and compounds your local brand over time.
Review campaigns Local authority Pre-sold prospects Higher conversions
How Pricing Works
We cover 100% of your ad spend. Google, Meta, creatives, landing pages — all at our cost from day one.
You pay per showed booking — not per lead, not per click, not per family member. One booking fee regardless of how many people walk in together.
We guarantee a minimum 2-3× return on every dollar you pay us. Which means you always stay profitable working with us.
Pricing is reviewed quarterly. If performance is below target, we diagnose and adjust — you're never locked into a rate that isn't working for both sides.
Proof

Real Studio.
Real Numbers.

It's been a short period, but over a few months we've had 30 people come in through the ads that sign up to year memberships. So it's been financially lucrative and we've been getting great members because we're finding people interested in the same thing we are.

Is This For You?

We Only Work With
