EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Nice fitness & wellness is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your paid budget should fill classes, not vanish.
Nice's fitness market is split: luxury wellness retreats competing for tourists, and mid-market studios fighting for local membership. Social media alone doesn't build a predictable pipeline—especially during summer churn. Paid advertising in Nice works best when combined with local SEO and seasonal class promotion, yet most studios run ads without a member acquisition framework. The market demands precision: high CPL tolerance from premium studios, low CAC expectations from boutique gyms.
The 3 places Nice fitness & wellness brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 fitness & wellness brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Summer tourist season brought no new bookings despite seasonal demand. Winter months saw 40% class dropout. Instagram following was growing but converting at only 3%. Studio was spending €2,200/month on Facebook ads with no tracking, achieving €185 CPL.
Built segmented Google Search campaigns targeting 'Pilates near Promenade des Anglais' and 'wellness studio Nice' with seasonal bid adjustments; created landing pages for tourists vs. locals.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
By month 3, your paid marketing machine is predictable: you know the cost to acquire a new member, which channels deliver the lowest CAC, and how to adjust spend seasonally. Your class bookings stabilise year-round, and your studio grows without depending on viral posts or lucky referrals.
Audit & Baseline
We map your current paid spend across Google, Meta, and TikTok, then identify where budget leaks exist. We analyse your competitor landscape in Nice—who's bidding on your keywords, how they're positioning, and what their ad creative looks like. We also review your website and landing page quality to spot conversion blockers.
Strategy & Audience Build
We define your ideal member persona (tourist vs. local, age, class preference, budget) and segment audiences for each paid channel. We map the member journey: awareness (tourists on holiday), consideration (locals searching for studios), and conversion (trial class bookers). We identify high-intent keywords and lookalike audiences to reduce CPL.
Campaign Launch
We create and deploy paid campaigns across your best-performing channels (Google Ads for search, Instagram/TikTok for social, retargeting for website visitors). We set up conversion tracking on trial bookings and class signups, not just clicks. Each campaign is designed to fit Nice's seasonal rhythm—boosting tourist-focused campaigns in summer, local membership drives in January.
Optimise & Refine
We monitor campaign performance daily and adjust bids, audiences, and creative based on real conversion data. We pause underperforming ad sets and scale winners. We test new messaging angles (wellness, strength, community) to find what resonates with Nice's audience. A/B testing runs continuously.
Scale & Automate
Once we've proven the unit economics work (low CPL, high conversion rate), we increase budget allocation to winning channels and expand to lookalike audiences. We automate reporting so you see real-time member acquisition metrics. We integrate paid campaigns with your CRM and email marketing to nurture trial-to-member conversion.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

Median result across 12 fitness & wellness Paid Marketing case studies. Results vary based on domain authority, competitive set, and existing traffic baseline.
“The attribution model they built showed us that 40% of our paid conversions had an organic first-touch. We restructured the whole channel mix based on that one insight.”

“We'd been paying a premium for a 'strategic' agency that was running auto-bidding with a nice deck attached. The comparison when we switched was embarrassing.”

“We were spending $45K/month on Google Ads with a 1.8x ROAS. Within 90 days, same budget, 3.4x. No magic — just proper account structure and attribution nobody had bothered to build.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much should we budget for paid marketing as a fitness studio in Nice?
Most studios in Nice spend €1,500–€4,500/month on paid ads. We recommend starting with €2,500–€3,000/month to generate 40–60 trial bookings (depending on class price point and seasonal demand). A micro-studio might start at €1,200; a multi-location gym at €5,000+. Your budget should align with member acquisition goals: if you need 100 new members in 6 months, budget accordingly. We help you calculate the right spend based on your CAC target and revenue goals.
Which channels work best for fitness studios in Nice—Google Ads or social media?
Both. Google Ads captures high-intent searchers ('yoga near me', 'gym Sophia Antipolis') and converts at higher rates (10–18% trial booking rate). Social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) builds awareness, especially with tourists, and converts at 6–12%. We typically allocate 50–60% to Google Search, 30–40% to social, and 10% to retargeting. Your mix depends on your audience: premium wellness studios lean social; commercial gyms lean Google.
How long before we see results from paid marketing?
You'll see initial data (clicks, impressions, early conversions) within days. Meaningful trends (cost per lead, conversion rate patterns, ROI clarity) emerge within 2–4 weeks. Full optimisation and scaling happens by month 3. Most studios see a 40%+ cost per lead improvement by month 2 if the strategy is sound. We recommend at least a 3-month commitment to prove the model before deciding to scale or pause.
What's the difference between Omakaase and freelance paid ad managers?
Freelancers typically manage ads in isolation; we manage the full member acquisition system. We audit your website, landing page, email onboarding, and referral process—not just your ad settings. We also provide strategy, weekly optimisation, competitor research, and industry insights specific to Nice's fitness market. Most freelancers bill hourly (€30–€60/hr); we work on retainers (€1,800–€3,500/mo depending on scope) so we're incentivised to improve your ROI, not just manage your budget.
Can paid marketing help us compete with big national gym chains?
Yes. Big chains have brand recognition and deep pockets, but they run national campaigns that don't resonate locally. You compete by hyper-targeting Nice residents, specific neighbourhoods (Vieux-Nice, Sophia Antipolis), and niche audiences (tech professionals, wellness enthusiasts, tourists). Your advantage: authenticity, community, local reviews. Paid ads amplify this. We've helped boutique studios outbid chains on local keywords by targeting smarter, not spending more.
