Coptix Builds Online Face of Waterhouse Public Relations
Founded in 1996, Waterhouse Public Relations is Chattanooga’s largest public relations firm. Having built a reputation for relationships that produce real-world results, Waterhouse wanted to further strengthen its strategic position as the Tennessee Valley’s preferred PR agency.
So the firm turned to Coptix, Chattanooga’s leading web design and marketing company. Coptix built an online presence that is consistent with Waterhouse’s core values of creativity combined with fact-based information gathering and distribution, and yet increases its ability to reach clients in a broad range of industries.
“Waterhouse PR recognized a need to revamp our Web site to not only reflect the growth of the agency, but also our expanding position as a regional and national contender in a competitive public relations market,” said Mike Gloekler, account manager for Waterhouse PR. “Among the attributes that brought us to a relationship with the Coptix team were their implicit understanding of our goals, their creative approach to capturing the essence of our values as PR practitioners and a business ethic that we felt we could count on. The end result is a top-notch Web site that integrates seamlessly with our marketing strategy.”
“At Coptix, we wanted to create a site that reflects the marketing and business savvy of Waterhouse PR,” said Coptix Vice President Josiah Roe. “Our purpose is to create technology that serves the business objectives of our clients. Building a site for such a great company like Waterhouse Public Relations was a real pleasure.”

Coptix Brings Chattem’s Ultraswim to the Web
For the launch of a website promoting UltraSwim, its patented formula shampoo, Chattem, Inc. partnered with Coptix, Inc. to create an online user experience as simple and fun as an afternoon swim.
UltraSwim is a product created for the 100 million people who enjoy America's number one sport—swimming. While the fitness and fun benefits of swimming are obvious, one common down side is hair that becomes dry and brittle as a result of exposure to chlorine, so common that "swimmer's hair" is a familiar sight around the pool. UltraSwim not only removes twice as much chlorine from hair as other swimmer shampoos, it also removes chlorine odor and oxidized metals, and contains moisturizers and vitamins to nourish hair. Meaning that swimmers can enjoy themselves without worrying about their hair.
Coptix was commissioned to design and develop a web site that delivers a simple educational message about the benefits of UltraSwim, presented in an engaging manner. www.ultraswim.com delivers the fluid, graceful look of a site developed with the best programming platforms for graphical elements, without requiring users to sit and needlessly wait or download additional programs simply to access information about the product. Instead, with a simple user experience and easy navigation, the site highlights the benefits of the product without taxing customers' patience. Thanks to Coptix's knowledge of web marketing, the site was also developed in ways that maximize its friendliness to search engines, with the result that any user with an internet connection can easily learn about UltraSwim.
“We were excited to find a talented group of web designers who were basically in our own backyard in St. Elmo," said Andrea Crouch, Chattem Vice President, Brand Management. "We found the Coptix design work to be interesting and insightful and a good fit for what we were trying to accomplish with UltraSwim.”
“At Coptix, we wanted to create a site that delivers Ultraswim’s benefits in a clear, consistent way, while capturing the playful and refreshing associations that we all have when we think of a dip in the pool,” said Coptix Vice President Josiah Roe. “Our purpose is to create technology that serves the business objectives of our clients. For UltraSwim, we wanted to build Chattem a website that educates the public, helps create further interest in the product and captures the spirit of a strong brand. Building a great site for such a great product was a real pleasure.”
