Our Work

Different businesses. Different challenges. A clear purpose behind every project.

For some businesses, the goal is getting noticed. For others, it’s building trust, reaching a new audience, or turning interest into sales. These case studies show how we shape our creative work and digital strategy around what each business needs to accomplish.

Trust. Transparency. Partnership.

Good marketing starts with understanding your business.

You have goals to reach, challenges to solve, and a business to run. You need a marketing partner who understands the bigger picture, gives you straightforward advice, and takes ownership of the work.

One Team, Less to Manage

Your website, advertising, SEO, content, and creative work should support the same goals. Having one coordinated team means less back-and-forth and a more consistent strategy.

Know Where Your Money Goes

You deserve to understand what you're investing in and why. We explain our recommendations, report on what matters, and tell you when something isn't worth the spend.

Real Support, Real Accountability

You shouldn't have to chase down your marketing agency for answers. You'll work directly with a responsive team that knows your business and follows through.

What's it like to work with Cougar Digital?

My class and I had a great time learning from Josh about his background, experience in design and video, and creative process. Thank you so much for volunteering!!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Cougar Digital Marketing on both of our company websites—Ellison Earthworks and EE Traffic Management—and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first meeting, their team was attentive, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to understand not just our services, but our brand values and voice, and they translated that into two beautiful, functional, and user-friendly websites. Their communication was consistent and clear throughout the process, and every step felt collaborative. They made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel seamless and even fun. The final products truly reflect the heart of our companies and the industries we serve. We highly recommend Cougar Digital to any business looking to elevate their online presence. Thank you for bringing our vision to life so perfectly!

We had an amazing experience working with Josh at Cougar Digital for our excavation company's new website. He was extremely professional, detail-oriented, and made the entire photo shoot and drone footage process seamless. The quality of the photos and drone shots exceeded our expectations, capturing our work in a way that truly showcases our expertise. Josh's professionalism and creative eye made a huge difference, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend him and Cougar Digital for any photography and digital needs!

Josh created a style guide for us to help with consistency throughout our agency. He did a great job creating the guide with little information. He did a great job explaining everything to us. He went above and beyond troubleshooting a zip file issue. Our services with Josh Kandle were 5-star service! He was kind, patient, thoughtful with his work and helpful with creativity in our style guide as well and assisting with technical difficulties. Thanks again Josh!

I absolutely love working with Cougar Digital for every aspect of marketing our business utilizes. From digital content and graphic design work, to helping us create content (photos, videos and language) for various types of media and needs, Cougar does it all. The staff is awesome! Everyone is personable, prompt and professional. They are fun and I look forward to working with them on each project because I know the results will be incredible every time. Cougar's team members are open and flexible in helping us reach our goals and are authentic in their approach to meeting expectations and timeliness. Their consistent delivery of high level results within projected timeliness makes them my first choice for all marketing needs

Had a great experience with Cougar Digital. We lost our photographer last minute and called Cougar Digital and they stepped up and really did a bang up job for us. Plus their WSU Alum and that added good fun to the shoot. Super appreciate these guys and recommend them to anyone. #AGENT509

We’ve been working with Josh and the team at Cougar Digital Marketing & Design for over five years, and they have been an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. From helping us completely rebuild our website to re-shooting our entire product catalog, their support, creativity, and attention to detail have been outstanding. Our catalog photography project alone was a massive undertaking, from coordinating models and locations to photographing more than 300 unique items across a wide range of product and lifestyle scenes. Josh and his team handled every aspect of the project with incredible patience, professionalism, and attention to detail, and the final results exceeded our expectations. What we appreciate most about Cougar is that they truly take the time to understand our business, our brand, and what we’re trying to accomplish. Over the years, they’ve become much more than just a service provider. They’re a trusted partner, and we genuinely value the relationship we’ve built with Josh and the entire Cougar team. We highly recommend Cougar Digital Marketing & Design to any business looking for a creative, responsive, and reliable marketing partner that genuinely cares about its clients and the quality of its work.

We’ve been working with Cougar Digital Marketing for almost 6 years, and they have consistently gone above and beyond for Boiada Brazilian Grill. Josh is amazing at graphic design and always brings our ideas to life in fun, creative ways. Travis and Ashley have done an exceptional job with every aspect of our new website build — from strategy meetings and design to training and development. Cougar is professional, timely, fun to work with, and they create outstanding content. We couldn’t be happier with our new website — it’s beautiful and easy for our team to edit and update. Highly recommend Cougar to any business looking for a true marketing partner!

Cougar Digital Marketing & Design does outstanding work. Prosser School District has utilized their expertise on multiple occasions to assist in communicating our message. They are easy to work with and most importantly, they deliver!

I really love the team approach with Travis and the group, they are very professional, organized, and skilled at what they do. I wish I had employed them for my website and advertising years ago. I regret spending so much money trying to do it on my own or with cheap services that took my money and did nothing. I feel like they are MY team, and I feel I'm not alone trying to achieve my business goals to get my services out to the public.
