Transforming a SaaS corporate identity into a community-driven lifestyle brand.
2023
2026
Despite its leadership in boutique fitness, Mariana Tek lacked a distinct identity within Xplor’s broader portfolio and was blending into a crowded competitive landscape. We repositioned the brand through “Moments That Matter,” a platform rooted in customer storytelling, emotional connection, and the lifestyle experiences that define boutique fitness. By elevating the brand’s creative taste and focusing on the most meaningful moments across the customer journey, we transformed the brand from a software provider into a partner that studios emotionally connect with. The evolution came to life through a cross-country City Tour and ongoing campaigns that seamlessly blended product innovation with community, culture, and human connection.
Campaign 1: City Tour
With a community craving impactful in real life experiences, Mariana Tek City Tour was created as a way for us to reach clients and prospects in the neighborhoods where boutique fitness is thriving.
Every photo and video on this page was taken during a City Tour stop. All content on Mariana Tek’s marketing channels quickly transformed from stock to real people in real studios empowered by Mariana Tek, representing the diverse group of passionate studio owners and members.

Campaign 2: The Moments That Matter
Boutique fitness is built on connection, trust, personal relationships, and shared purpose. With our “Moments That Matter” brand campaign, we set out to show that technology should strengthen those moments, not replace them. By centering real studio owners, instructors and members, the campaign highlighted the meaningful interactions throughout the customer journey and reinforced our commitment to building for the people behind every booking.

The Mariana Tek Studio Awards
We transformed our annual awards program into our most engaging campaign yet by introducing community-choice categories, a curated prize package in partnership with other fitness and wellness brands, and interactive storytelling that turned nominees, partners, and audiences into active participants.
