The challenge

A remote station stay needed to fill accommodation and niche experiences — including photography, wellness and creative retreats — across a long booking season, with a modest budget and no in-house marketing team.

Our solution

Big Head Digital ran always-on Meta campaigns combining broad Advantage+ conversion targeting with dedicated ads for individual workshops and retreats. Budgets stayed lean, while creative rotated seasonally to match booking windows, closing dates, and each workshop's unique audience.

Strategy

Let small spend do the heavy lifting — Lean monthly budgets still delivered ROAS ranging from 5x to over 20x across the season.
Give each workshop its own campaign — Photography, wellness and creative retreats each got dedicated ads targeting their specific audience, rather than one generic accommodation message.
Create urgency as season closes — "Final bookings" and season-closing messaging consistently outperformed evergreen ads in the shoulder months.
Pause and go quiet when it's not needed — Campaigns switched off the moment a retreat filled, keeping spend tightly matched to actual demand.
