Pasquotank County
Elizabeth City, North Carolina Marketing
Elizabeth City is the largest town in northeastern NC and home to the largest US Coast Guard air station on the East Coast. When a local customer needs coast guard and defense, the search happens on a phone, and the businesses that surface in that moment are the ones that win the work. The service area for most Elizabeth City businesses reaches into Edenton and Hertford, so the marketing plan has to think about the whole footprint.
