Athleaders already knew how to deliver great personal training. The problem was getting the right people to enquire.

From High Ad costs to 70% more leads of the ideal client profile

Their previous advertising generated leads, but poor audience targeting meant too many prospects were the wrong fit — and those leads rarely converted. After Ice Cube Marketing took over the campaigns, lead generation was pushed to “new heights.”

The problem

The Real Problem Wasn't Getting Leads. It Was Getting the Right Leads.

Athleaders is a leading personal training company in Singapore. Its core service is home personal training, where coaches travel directly to clients’ homes — removing the hassle and time involved in travelling to and from a gym.

The business needed paid advertising across Meta and Google to consistently generate leads and conversions. But there was a crucial distinction:
Athleaders could already get leads. The problem was that too many of those leads were not the right audience.

The previous agency had generated several enquiries through advertising, but poor audience targeting resulted in very low conversion rates. The business was paying for attention without getting enough of the prospects who were actually a good fit for its service.

The old approachMore leads were not the answer. Better leads were.

Why Ice Cube Marketing

Why Athleaders Chose Ice Cube Marketing

Athleaders had already experienced what happens when advertising produces volume without quality. They needed a marketing partner that understood the health and fitness market and could target the right audience.

Ice Cube Marketing stood out because of its track record with health and fitness businesses, positive reviews and references from companies in the same industry.

The goal was not simply to increase the number of enquiries. It was to improve the quality of those enquiries so that more of them could become paying customers.

The focus shifted from lead volume to profitable lead generation.

The turning point

When the Right Campaign Team Took Over

“

Lead generation catapulted and went to new heights.
Athleaders, on the campaign takeover by Troy and John
The biggest breakthrough came when Troy and John took over the campaign. Performance improved dramatically as the campaigns were managed with a more structured and responsive approach. The difference was not just the number of leads. Lead quality improved as well, resulting in better conversion performance. Instead of constantly worrying about whether the ads were working, the Athleaders team gained confidence that the campaigns were being actively monitored and improved.

The system

A Marketing System Built Around Accountability

High-performing advertising is not just about launching campaigns and waiting for results. It requires monitoring, communication and fast action when performance changes. When CPL increased or an issue appeared, the team investigated and acted instead of allowing performance to deteriorate. Reports included CPL, cost per acquisition and other relevant campaign metrics.

01

Weekly performance reporting

Regular, structured reports so performance is never a guessing game.

02

Active campaign monitoring

Campaigns are watched continuously, not launched and left.

03

Transparent communication

Straight answers on what's working, what isn't, and why.

04

Meta and Google management

Full-funnel management across both platforms, coordinated together.

05

Proactive optimization

When CPL moves or an issue appears, the team investigates and acts.

Result

Delegate with confidence

A system built so the business never has to micromanage the ad account.

That distinction is important. The win wasn’t simply generating more enquiries — it was generating more of the enquiries that actually mattered. With better targeting and stronger campaign management, Athleaders was able to consistently receive quality leads at an efficient CPL.

Why it matters

Why Lead Quality Matters More Than Lead Quantity

A campaign can look successful on a dashboard while still producing poor business results if the leads are the wrong fit. Athleaders experienced this first-hand. Their previous campaigns generated leads, but weak targeting meant conversions remained low.

More opportunities to convert
If your business is celebrating a low CPL but your sales team is struggling to close those leads, your problem may not be the cost of the lead. It may be the quality of the audience behind it.
The goal isn’t to generate as many leads as possible. The goal is to generate as many qualified opportunities as your business can convert.

Improved marketing performance gave Athleaders something that is often overlooked: peace of mind. Because Ice Cube handled the advertising and provided structured weekly reporting, the Athleaders team no longer had to constantly worry about ad performance. They could focus on other parts of the business—such as operations and finance—while knowing that marketing was being monitored. That allowed the business to delegate advertising with confidence rather than feeling like it had to micromanage every campaign decision.
