Smashing Paid Social Performance for Barry’s

Uprated have partnered with global fitness brand Barry’s, to drive awareness and footfall to their prestigious gyms around the world.

The Challenge…

Barry’s were struggling to accurately track their digital marketing efforts, especially via Paid Social. They needed accurate tracking, followed by measurable performance lifts from their Paid Social channels, to help them drive footfall and new customer acquisition to their gyms.

Paid Social Campaigns for Barry's

Our Approach

Granular geo-targeted campaigns, compelling messaging and high engagement creative.

Audience Research & Targeting
We use an evidence based approach, leveraging data and audience insight to enable us to use pinpoint precision when targeting key audiences. At a high level we focused on parents in the UK, but used hundreds of granular targeting criteria to ensure our messaging reached exactly the right audience.
Scroll Stopping Visuals
Our in-house design team worked to create high-impact paid social assets, that not only stopped the scroll but converted.
Geo-Targeted Messaging & Campaigns
To drive class bookings across Barry’s 3 UK studios, we deployed hyper-local camaign strategies and tailored messaging for each locale. In combination with location-specific creative, this drove scalable growth in performance.
Test, Learn, Optimise
Our Paid Social Media teams continually use data and evidence to test content, campaigns, targeting and audiences to drive consistent campaign optimisation.

We LOVE working with Uprated! The team is fast, organised and always solution-oriented. They have a great finger on the pulse with trends, and always bring great ideas to the table.
