The Client
HALCON Marketing Solutions was brought on to produce digital ads for a client in the community center space with an emphasis on their youth and fitness programs.
The Project
The client needed monthly Meta ad campaigns developed to promote their fitness center membership offers and youth classes at various locations throughout the country. HALCON was tasked with optimizing copy, graphics, the target audience, and budget to maximize results month over month. Form fills had previously been utilized by the paid digital team, but have been unavailable due to security concerns. The big ask:
How could HALCON maximize membership numbers without this tool?

The Results
HALCON transformed this account from a $4,802 starting point to $28,432 in managed spend while delivering 9x more clicks at 27% lower cost. That's exceptional growth with improved efficiency.
