The Real Reason Paid Ads Fail (and How to Make Yours Finally Work)

Your Studio Podcast | Strategies for Studio Owners

Are your Facebook or Instagram ads falling flat — no leads, no enrolments, and no idea why?

You’re not alone. In this episode, Chantelle Bruinsma and Michelle Hunter unpack why paid ads often don’t deliver the results you hoped for — and how to fix it for good.

You’ll discover the simple, soulful marketing shifts that help you attract dream students, reconnect with your studio’s magic, and finally run ads with confidence — knowing they’ll actually work.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

1. Rebuild your website into an enrolment engine that turns clicks into students
2. Craft marketing messages that connect with hearts, not just fill classes
3. Simplify your ad strategy so you stop wasting money and start building momentum

After this chat, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to know what to focus on first — and how to make every marketing dollar count.
