Driving Bookings for a Wavepool

The Challenge

As Europe's first surf park, Alaïa Bay welcomes everyone from first time surfers to experienced athletes. The challenge is to keep the brand top of mind while driving bookings across every season.

This requires balancing long-term brand building with performance marketing, ensuring every campaign reaches the right audience while maintaining a consistent experience across every customer touchpoint.

Our Approach

Working as an extension of Alaïa Bay's in-house marketing team, we support the brand across strategy, creative production and performance marketing.

Our role spans the entire customer journey, from attracting new visitors through paid advertising and organic social media to nurturing existing customers with email marketing and seasonal campaigns. Every campaign is built around clear commercial objectives, whether that's driving bookings, promoting memberships, launching new products or increasing attendance at major events.

Alongside campaign management, we create a wide range of creative assets, including digital advertising, social media content, print materials, product designs and marketing collateral, ensuring a consistent brand experience across every customer touchpoint.

Performance is at the core of our approach. By continuously analysing campaign data and customer behaviour, we optimise advertising across Meta and Google to maximise bookings and return on ad spend. This combination of strategic planning, creative execution and ongoing optimisation allows Alaïa Bay to react quickly to changing demand while maintaining a strong and consistent brand presence throughout the surf season.
