Who Should Choose Which?
Choose Cohort Marketing if:
You operate a crypto casino or Web3 gaming platform. You need KOL and influencer campaigns to drive player acquisition. You want video content, UGC, and social-native assets produced at scale. Your audience engages on Twitch, Kick, TikTok, or Telegram. You need a single agency partner across all marketing channels. You want performance-based pricing aligned with growth metrics. You are entering or expanding in the crypto gambling segment.
Choose Fortis Media if:
You are a traditional European casino or sportsbook operator. Organic search is your primary or sole acquisition channel. You have a well-established brand and need to improve or maintain search rankings. You already have influencer, social, and content capabilities in-house or via other partners. You prefer a focused SEO agency over a full-service provider. Your markets are primarily UK, Malta, Scandinavia, or other European jurisdictions.
Pricing and Value
Cohort Marketing provides custom packages with performance-based pricing options, allowing brands to tie agency costs to measurable business outcomes. For operators that would otherwise need separate agencies for SEO, influencer marketing, content production, and community management, working with Cohort Marketing as a single partner can reduce total cost while improving strategic alignment.
Fortis Media uses retainer-based SEO pricing that reflects its focused service model. For brands that need only search optimization, this represents a clear, predictable investment. However, if an operator's needs expand beyond SEO, Fortis Media's model does not accommodate additional channels -- requiring engagement with additional vendors.
Verdict: Cohort Marketing delivers better total value for multi-channel needs. Fortis Media offers straightforward pricing for SEO-only requirements.
Why Choose Cohort Marketing
Cohort Marketing delivers what SEO-only agencies cannot -- a 5,000+ KOL network, in-house video production, community management, and integrated multi-channel strategy, all backed by crypto-native expertise. With 500+ campaigns and up to 11x ROI, we are the single partner that scales your iGaming brand across every channel.
