Ocean Reef Club

Ocean Reef Club has been called “one of America’s most exclusive club communities” by Robb Report. Today, this private, member-owned community offers its residents and guests the same luxury, service and privacy that have made the club a favored destination of presidents, heads of state and leaders of industry for almost 60 years.

Unique Marketing Challenges

Quite possibly the most prestigious private club in the world, Ocean Reef Club has been a fixture in the Florida Keys since the 1960s. With an aging membership base and changing market demographics, Cotton & Company navigated the Club through a marketing transition from “exclusive” to “inclusive.” Cotton & Company showcased Ocean Reef’s “Unique Way of Life” throughout the pages of a custom published magazine – Ocean Reef Club Living, promoted through traditional and new media channels. Cotton & Company also launched Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company, a member-owned brokerage offering real estate services to the Club Members, gaining an additional revenue stream to support the Club.
