Case Study: David Lloyd
The challenge
In the increasingly competitive gym and fitness industry, David Lloyd Clubs wanted to drive traffic and increase engagement through a blog featuring unique, high-value content. We were tasked with brainstorming and creating content that would not only increase customer engagement but also add value for existing David Lloyd members.
The solution
We developed a campaign idea that would appeal to the typical member looking to improve their health and well-being in a way that’s realistic, sustainable, and fits with their busy home and work life.
Deciding to create a series of easily accessible, high-quality recipe videos promoting quick and healthy cooking, we enlisted celebrity chef Theo Michaels to host the videos. We would use his reputation and charisma to endorse the legitimacy of the recipes and create trust between the audience and David Lloyd. To get as many eyes on the content as possible and maximize reach, we would launch a series of paid and organic social campaigns.
We collaborated with Theo to script, film, and produce a number of recipes videos, from preparation through to the final finished plate.
Post filming, we produced the various assets to make up the blog posts, including a short narrated video illustrating the key stages of the recipe, a series of high-quality still images, and engaging copy describing the dish and detailing essential recipe steps.
We created bite-sized versions of the videos that would work well on social media—including Facebook—to not only advertise the recipes but also offer an aesthetic teaser that would draw people to the blog site. We used paid social to target existing members of a David Lloyd Club in order to open up lines of communication with this essential group, with the aim of further improving performance and personalizing content.
