“This platform has paid for itself ten times over.“

Challenge
“I was looking for a company that could help me provide a great web experience for my design community that would lead to increased specification and sales.”
-Sonja Tillman, Director of Marketing Cherokee Brick
Cherokee Brick’s current website was not well designed to enable the AEC buyer journey. Visitors are not tracked and there was no viable way for AEC’s to contact
Cherokee Brick pertaining to products or vis-a-versa.
They had no internal tools or manpower to manage or create their technical product content.
Additionally, these detriments were restrictive in terms of aiding their online marketing strategy or generating any lead generation whatsoever from their website.
“We see potential customers visiting our website that we’ve never met before. I can send these leads to my sales team all over the country and I can say, ‘hey I don’t see this name in the list of architects we work with or distributors that we work with. This platform has paid for itself 10 times over.”
-Sonja Tillman, Director of Marketing Cherokee Brick
