Team briefing · May 2026
Read this before the pitch

Studio34.
Here's the
whole thing.

A doc to get you up to speed in 5 minutes. Who the client is, what they want, what they've already done, what we're pitching, and how the first month plays out.

TL;DR

Studio34 is a Pilates studio in Bangalore. They want to grow on Instagram — but for people aged 30–60 who actually spend money, not Gen Z scrolling for trends. They've already done half the work. We're pitching the system that makes it actually run.

01 · The ask

What the client wants.

Who
Studio34 — a Reformer Pilates studio in Bangalore. Reformer Pilates = the kind with a machine that has springs and a sliding bed. More athletic than mat Pilates. Founders: Vish & Janhvi.
The goal
Grow their Instagram. Build brand awareness. But specifically for people aged 30–60 with money to spend on premium fitness — not the standard Gen Z Pilates content that's everywhere right now.
Our job
Pitch them a content strategy with real ideas + a clear plan they can act on fast.
02 · Who Studio34 is

Four things to know.

FOUNDERS

Vish & Janhvi

Both UK-trained Pilates instructors. Both already comfortable on camera — they've shown up in their own ad scripts.

POSITIONING

Bangalore's first athletic Reformer Pilates studio

They have a "first" claim. Backed by a partnership with Move Union (UK) for instructor training.

PRODUCT

Core · Sculpt · Pop + Teacher Training

Three class types (beginner, athletic, functional) plus a 150-hour cert program for new instructors.

LOOK

Electric blue + orange + black

Bold geometric type, accent square as their signature mark. Brand reads athletic — not soft-wellness.

03 · What they already did

Three Ideal Customer Profiles.
Seven scripts. Real rules.

They sent us a PDF with three Ideal Customer Profiles basically: the three types of people they want their content to reach, seven fully written video scripts, and clear rules about what language to use vs. avoid.

This is great. We don't start from scratch — we sharpen what's there and add what's missing.

IDEAL CUSTOMER PROFILE 01
TOP OF FUNNEL

Working professionals

"Urban India has a movement problem."
Desk-job people in their 30s. Posture issues, tight hips, back pain from sitting all day.
3 scripts ready.
Keep — these are our 30–60 buyer
IDEAL CUSTOMER PROFILE 02
TOP OF FUNNEL

New moms

"Reconnecting with your body postpartum."
Women recovering after birth. Want safe, supportive movement that respects what their body just did.
2 scripts ready.
Keep — high-intent buyers
IDEAL CUSTOMER PROFILE 03
MIDDLE OF FUNNEL

Gen Z (22–28)

"Strong is the new skinny."
Already kind of aware of Pilates but mainly through the trend lens. Anti-aesthetic, function-first angle.
2 scripts ready.
Rethink — sits outside the 30–60 brief

Quick definition: Top of Funnel = people who don't know Studio34 yet. Middle of Funnel = people aware of them but still deciding.

The language rules they gave us

SAY THIS

"Supports movement" · "improves awareness" · "helps build strength" · "can support posture and mobility"

NOT THIS

"Fixes pain" · "heals posture" · "reverses damage" · "guaranteed transformation"

Why? They want to stay on the right side of health claims. Educational tone, not medical promises.

04 · The market

The lane is wide open.

Quick scan of who else is doing premium Pilates in Bangalore. None of them are doing it the way Studio34 could.

CompetitorWhat's there
Pilates Studio Bangalore (Namrata Purohit)Celebrity-backed. ~5K followers. Feels distant from the average buyer.
Dr Pilates BengaluruMedical-leaning. Not really branded.
The Zone (Koramangala — direct neighbour)Multi-discipline. No real identity.
Cult.fit Pilates CircleMass-market subscription. Doesn't read premium.

Studio34's wedge: premium + athletic + founder-led + UK-credentialed. Nobody else has all four.

05 · What we recommend

Two we keep.
One we rethink.
One we add.

KEEP

Profiles 1 and 2 stay.

Working pros and new moms are the 30–60 buyer the client wants. Their scripts here are strong. Sharpen and ship.

RETHINK

Profile 3 (Gen Z) gets paused.

Going hard on Gen Z dilutes the premium positioning. Use that content as organic spillover — no dedicated spend on it.

ADD

Authority is the missing pillar.

Doctors, physios, UK-trained experts. Highest-trust unlock for people 30–60. None of their 7 scripts do this yet.

06 · What Blend brings

Six things that turn
scripts into a system.

Studio34 has the brand, the founders, and the scripts. They don't have the system to actually run all this. That's us.

01 · PRODUCTION

The full content engine

Shoot days, editing, content calendar, asset library. Their 7 scripts become 30+ Reels in a quarter.

02 · HOOK BANK

From 7 scripts to 50+ hooks

We extend what they wrote. A library of openers per pillar so founders never start from a blank page.

03 · AUTHORITY

Expert outreach they can't do

We find, brief, and shoot the doctor / physio / UK expert sit-downs. The missing pillar — handled.

04 · MEMBER STORIES

Real members, on the record

We recruit and shoot 40+ year-old members willing to share their story. One per month, served as Reel + carousel + email.

05 · PAID + DISTRIBUTION

Meta ads, properly set up

Their PDF mentions Meta ads but nothing's built. We set up tracking, audiences, and the weekly creative-to-paid loop.

06 · MEASUREMENT

Weekly iteration

Saves, shares, DM-to-trial conversions tracked weekly. Winners get reshot. Losers killed. Cadence locked.

THE ONE-LINE PITCH

Studio34 has the brand, the founders, and the scripts. Blend brings the system that turns those into a feed that grows the business.

07 · The pitch deck

10 slides.
Here's what's on each.

A v0 draft already exists: download .pptx.

01
Title + thesis
"Built for the buyer who pays." One line that signals our POV before anything else.
02
What we heard from you
Show we read their PDF carefully. Their 3 Ideal Customer Profiles, 7 scripts, founder names by name.
03
The audience reset
Make the case that Profile 1 + 2 fit the 30–60 brief. Profile 3 (Gen Z) is the question.
04
The market
One slide. Show no one in Bangalore owns the lane Studio34 could.
05
The 2 levers
Shareability + Relatability. The filter we run every post through.
06
5 content pillars
2 of theirs + 2 new (Authority, Members) + 1 always-on (Founder POV).
07
6 ideas they could shoot this month
Real hooks + scripts + why-it-works. Reference their existing scripts so they see continuity.
08
What Blend brings
The 6 things from this brief. Our value = the system they don't have.
09
The 4-week sprint
Week-by-week. Show speed.
10
Closing + CTA
"Less aesthetic. More authority. Built for the WhatsApp share." One next step: a 90-minute founder shoot.

Every slide must

  • Use Studio34's palette: blue #191BDF, orange #FC5D01, black, white
  • Bold geometric sans + the signature accent square as a unifying motif
  • Name Vish & Janhvi — never just "the founder"
  • Use the language they preferred: "supports movement," not "fixes pain"
  • Reference their existing scripts when extending — show we built on top, didn't replace

09 · Still to figure out

Things to settle
before the pitch.

  • Do we recommend pausing Profile 3 (Gen Z) completely, or keep it as a low-effort secondary stream?
  • Are we pitching a retainer or a one-off project? Changes how aggressive we make the sprint look.
  • Can we use Move Union's name and logo in the deck and the feed? Need to confirm.
  • Do we put pricing in the deck, or wait until the follow-up SOW Statement of Work — the document that locks in scope and price after they say yes?
  • How much on-camera time can Vish + Janhvi realistically commit per week?
  • Do they already have 3–5 members willing to be filmed for the Members pillar?
