A brand film that cut their cost per lead
Straight Shot Training had a script, a story, and a clear problem: their ads weren't doing the work. Purple Donut Studios filmed and edited a new one. Their cost per lead dropped.

Jonny Slick and Chris Lewis built Straight Shot Training to make personal training feel less intimidating. It's a smaller, more intentional gym in a market full of big-box options. Their clients know the difference. Their ads didn't show it.
When they came to Purple Donut, they already had a script and a clear message. They needed a video that could run as a social ad, live on their website, and hold its own on a screen at Warehouse Cinemas, the local theater down the road.
Purple Donut spent a single production day at Straight Shot. The interviews followed the script Jonny and Chris had prepared, and the team captured b-roll of the training floor as sessions happened, without getting in the way of the coaches or their clients.
The finished film was edited into versions for each destination: social ads, their website, and the Warehouse Cinemas screen.

After they replaced their existing ads with the new film, their cost per lead dropped. For a gym that grows through referrals and local visibility, that kind of measurable shift matters.
The number tells part of the story. The other part is simpler: Jonny and Chris now have something that shows people exactly who they are, before a prospect ever steps through the door.
If your current ads aren't reflecting what your business actually looks and feels like, let's change that.
