The challenge

What Viya Fit needed to solve.

Viya Fit was running Meta campaigns independently but with poor ROAS and high cost per membership acquisition. TikTok and Snapchat — channels where their target demographic (UAE women aged 18–35) was highly active — were completely untested. They needed a multi-channel paid social strategy that could reduce CPA while building brand awareness.

Our approach

How we delivered the results.

01

Meta account rebuild

Rebuilt Meta campaigns from scratch — new audience architecture targeting Dubai women by fitness interest, age, and location; creative refresh with native-feeling UGC-style content; and a proper three-stage funnel.

02

TikTok launch

Launched TikTok In-Feed ads and Spark Ads using Viya Fit's own organic content — the most effective TikTok format for fitness brands. TikTok consistently delivered the lowest CPAs of any channel within 60 days.

03

Snapchat for 18–28 audience

Launched Snapchat Story Ads targeting 18–28 Dubai women — delivering brand awareness at lower CPMs than Meta for this demographic.

04

Creative testing programme

Built a systematic creative testing programme across all three platforms — testing video formats, hooks, offers, and CTAs simultaneously with new winning variants produced bi-weekly.

Paid social for fitness and lifestyle brands in Dubai — a multi-channel approach

Fitness marketing in Dubai is highly competitive. Premium studios and gyms compete for a health-conscious, digitally engaged audience that is simultaneously overwhelmed by advertising and increasingly sceptical of generic promotional content. The brands that win understand which platforms their specific audience uses and what creative feels native.

The most common mistake fitness brands make is concentrating all budget on Meta and creating polished video creative that looks like advertising. UAE’s 18–35 fitness audience has developed strong ad blindness on Instagram. Authentic, native content consistently outperforms high-production brand videos.

The 55% CPA reduction and 3.2x revenue growth Viya Fit achieved are the compounded result of systematic creative testing across three platforms, driven by data rather than assumptions about what works.

Multi-platform paid social for fitness brands in Dubai

  • TikTok In-Feed ads using native organic-style content typically deliver the lowest CPAs of any paid social channel for UAE fitness brands targeting women 18–30
  • Snapchat reaches the 18–28 UAE female demographic at 40–60% lower CPMs than Meta — essential for maximising reach efficiency in fitness marketing
  • UGC-style creative dramatically outperforms polished brand videos on both TikTok and Instagram — audiences respond to authenticity, not production quality
  • Creative testing must be systematic — testing hooks, offers, formats, and CTAs simultaneously with bi-weekly updates based on performance data
  • Multi-platform budgets require clear channel roles: TikTok and Snapchat for reach, Meta for retargeting, with unified attribution across all three
