Let’s Get Started
At Cotton & Company, we deliver an unprecedented level of industry expertise to your digital marketing program. We combine innovative digital channels with proven lead generation strategies – maximizing your budget and driving sales success.
WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
As the core of any successful online program, your website must be developed to satisfy both the consumer and search engine algorithms. Here, the principles of real estate sales are applied throughout a complex honeycomb structure, yet at the same time creating an interactive and engaging experience for the consumer. Developing a well-planned and relevant website not only benefits organic SEO, but also results in greater cost efficiencies for PPC campaigns and a more compelling presentation of your unique selling propositions.
WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION
Organic traffic tends to be the most qualified source of traffic for our clients. We want your website to be found when prospects begin their research, therefore properly setting up this foundation creates a basis for the entire site. The structure of your site must include integrated strategy designed to work in concert with both your online and offline lead generation programs. Hand-picked keywords and phrases are integrated throughout the program, giving your website the highest opportunity for relevant visibility.

Audience Capture Identity Matching As Smart Phone technology evolves, new Ad Tech companies have been created to constantly acquire valuable market data. Cell phone device IDs are being tracked 24/7, allowing the capture of location based audiences. This data is identity matched with other records to tell marketers consumer demographics, geographic profiles and psychographic buying habits.

Programmatic Digital Marketing
Programmatic Digital Marketing
With the introduction of Artificial Intelligence into the digital marketing platforms, virtually all aspects of SEM placement have become programmatic in nature. Programmatic campaigns allow for multiple ads to be fed to multiple audiences, constantly learning which ads are more successful. Digital television, Social Media and Google SEM Marketing are now about knowing your customer intimately, and targeting closely matched databases.
Streaming Television and Media
Today, more than 50% of the television audience is watching programming on their own time schedule. That means streaming content to their television, mobile phone, iPads and computers. While this results in a smaller broadcast audience, it creates an opportunity for us to target specific television audiences based on the individual consumer profiles. No wasted overflow on unqualified demographics, and a 100% guarantee on full viewership of our ad placement.
