Mindbody — Branded Content
Mindbody Studios
The Challenge
When I joined Mindbody in 2015, the challenge was to build an in-house creative studio that could be a key driver in the company's growth — producing content that elevated the brand and moved the business forward across B2C and B2B audiences simultaneously.
The studio became the hub for some of the company's most ambitious projects — from Times Square takeovers to the annual "BOLD" event, where my team produced a 100-foot screen video with interactive dancers ahead of Michelle Obama's keynote. Over the course of my three years leading the studio (2015–2018), Mindbody grew revenue by 128% from $101M to $230M, expanded its subscriber base by 33%, processed over 30 million bookings, and completed five acquisitions — a period of growth the studio played a meaningful role in driving.
