Coghlin Companies, including Columbia Tech, DCI Engineering and Cogmedix, experienced tremendous growth in the past three years despite the recession. Revenue has nearly quadrupled, growing from $42 million in 2009 to $160 million in 2011; a 281% increase in sales. Their workforce has more than doubled to its current size of more than 300 employees. This growth earned Coghlin Companies’ Columbia Tech the #1 position on Worcester Business Journal’s Top Growth List of Private Companies for 2011.
Referring to the development of their new site, successful search optimization campaign, influx of actionable leads and stellar growth, Chris Coghlin said, “It’s amazing to watch a vision come alive like that.” He continued, “Every single day we get new business leads from all over the world.”
Coghlin Companies credits their ability to succeed despite the recession to increasing their web presence through strategic web marketing. In 2009, Coghlin Companies hired Applied Interactive to produce and manage their online marketing program. With Applied Interactive, Coghlin was able to create a new website, optimize the site for search engines, update it with relevant, unique content, and refresh its brand and image. This drove their website traffic from its previous 100 or 200 hits per month to 4,000 or 5,000 hits per month. Success like this has enabled Applied Interactive to expand and grow as well. Applied Interactive now serves many companies with web marketing services including web development, search engine optimization and social networking.
