Our Home Market

Tri-Cities, WA

Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco make up the core of our client base. Healthcare systems, home builders, construction and trades companies, nonprofits, ag businesses, professional services — if it exists in the Tri-Cities, there's a decent chance we've worked with one.

We know this market. Not in a "we ran a few campaigns here once" way — in a "we've been in the room with your competitors" way. If you're a Tri-Cities business, you don't have to spend your first three meetings explaining local context. We already get it.

Where We're Rooted

Prosser, WA

Cougar Digital's founder, Travis Hartliep, grew up in Prosser, left for a bit, and came back to raise his family here. (The wine probably helped.) Our main office is here, and so is a lot of our community involvement — local events, organizations, youth sports, the kind of stuff you only do when a place actually means something to you.

We've worked with Prosser nonprofits, tourism organizations, and wine and hospitality businesses throughout the Yakima Valley. Small town, but not a small client list.

Working Across Washington State

Cougar Digital grew up in Eastern Washington. Between Prosser, the Tri-Cities, the Yakima Valley, and Spokane, we've built real client relationships across this side of the state — in healthcare, construction, agriculture, nonprofits, and more industries than we can reasonably list here.

We also work with businesses throughout western Washington, including the Seattle/Tacoma region. Different market, same approach: clear communication, honest strategy, and no pretending we know things we don't.

Wineries & Beyond

Pacific Northwest Wine Country

Our presence in Oregon, Idaho, and California is closely tied to our sister brand, Crimson Vine Marketing, which focuses exclusively on digital marketing for wineries. Through Crimson Vine, we've worked with wineries throughout the Pacific Northwest wine country and into California's wine regions.

Outside of the wine industry, we've supported other businesses in Oregon and California looking for a responsive, straight-talking marketing partner.

Let's Be Honest

We'll Work With Anyone, Anywhere

We work with clients across the country. Remote isn't a compromise for us — it's just how a large chunk of our work happens. We have a team member based in the St. Louis area, so we're not even all in the same time zone ourselves.

Video calls, shared tools, and clear documentation mean you always know what's going on, even if we've never shaken hands. If you're outside the PNW and you want an agency that communicates like a real person and doesn't disappear after the proposal — let's talk.

I recently coordinated several marketing projects for the Benton Franklin Census 2020 Complete Counts committee. Josh and Ashley at Cougar Digital provided great service and expertise. We utilized Cougar for several campaigns, including Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads, Display Ads and video production. The quality and creativity were great and I highly recommend them.They also adapted extremely well when COVID-related restrictions were put into place half way through the project. Thank you so much!

Josh was extremely knowledgeable in all things digital!! Thank you!!

Josh was fantastic to work with! He took Real Estate photography photos on the 14th, and had all of them beautifully edited and back to me in 24 hours! Highly recommend his services!

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.

Josh was quick to reply and great to work with. I would highly recommend and look forward to the next opportunity we get to work with him.

So great to have a guy like Josh and the Cougar Digital team in your corner. Professional, fast, and awesome to work with.

Mykaela Faulconer at Cougar Digital is one of my favorite people to work with, ever, across the board. She is incredibly talented, and has done consistently stellar graphic design for me and my team at Tri-City Orthopaedic Clinic.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with Mykaela on a daily basis. Everyone at Cougar Digital is amazing, and I would recommend them whole-heartedly.

Cougar Digital's team has provided us with fast and courteous service that is paying dividends. We couldn't be more pleased with their positive, can do attitude and would recommend them to anyone wanting to separate themselves from their competition. Aperneo thanks you as well!

Josh Kandle has changed the way we gain new customers by drastically improving our SEO. If you are static in your internet leads Josh can fix that. In the past week the phone just keeps ringing. Good job Josh.

I asked Cougar Digital to create a logo for my organization and make my handmade and very rinky-dink brochure and booklet look professional. They came through with flying colors. They gave me several options for a logo, listened carefully to my feedback and then sent me exactly what I wanted when I myself didn't know what it was I exactly wanted. Their team helped me narrow down the important information, put it in an order that made sense and then make it look fantastic. Everyone who has seen the finished product has been so impressed. Through the entire process, I found them to be easy to work with, easy to communicate with, speedy and responsive to emails and phone calls and patient when we came up against a deadline crunch (through no fault of their own). I would give Cougar Digital my highest recommendation.

Working with the Cougar Digital Marketing team was an absolute delight. Truly good people who are VERY skilled at what they do. Running a large regional food company, it's a blessing to work with an experienced digital team here locally, and not have to seek services in the Seattle or Portland market. I highly recommend working with Cougar Digital!

Sonar Insights had the pleasure of partnering with Cougar Digital Marketing & Design, LLC on two separate occasions - a video campaign for the Benton Franklin Census 2020 and a video for a client. It was a big undertaking to take the script sand creatively execute on them. Josh Kandle and his team did a masterful job at realizing the vision for the projects with a fantastic end product. Could not be more pleased!

I enjoyed working with Josh. Josh explains things in a way that make easily understandable for someone who is not in the marketing industry.

Our website turned out great! Nick was super easy to work with really made the process a breeze. Josh was our photographer for our website, after seeing the results from the first shoot we had to schedule for another! The pictures turned out better than imagined. Josh did a great job staying out of our crews way but managed to catch all the action with great detail. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Every business, large or especially small, should have professional help on marketing. As a small business owner, I only have so much time. I need to keep my focus on the daily tasks and still be able to be a family man. Cougar Digital takes this immense pressure off my shoulders. Not only does my business grow, it's easier. Highly recommend.

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!

It is always a pleasure working with Cougar Digital, especially with Josh and Mykaela. It's been a very good partnership with them. Very professional, always available for any questions or inquiries. Looking forward for more years of partnership.

The Cougar Digital team is fantastic. We recently revamped our website. I worked closely with Faith and she was super friendly and helpful every time we talked whether it was email, phone, or in person. The whole team works together to make sure everything is perfect and taken of. They really took our needs into consideration. Thanks!

Thank you Josh for your patience and expertise in helping us design our logo! Matt and I are really happy with the end result.

Ordered new business cards and was extremely pleased with the speed and service! Definitely recommend for your next marketing push!

We highly recommend Cougar Digital Marketing for their exceptional marketing services. We used them initially to build our new website for our commercial and residential General Contracting company, and we signed on with them for future partnership hours. We have been pleased with the seamless results Travis's company has provided us. The team's collaboration and communication with the website designer, Ashlie, the marketing guru, Josh, and the photographer, Mykayla, were ALL GREAT. Having these marketing resources under one roof has made our transition from our last website company, much easier than expected. Their prompt availability and amazing support made the entire experience enjoyable. We are extremely satisfied with the results and grateful for their partnership and guidance!

We have nothing but great things to say about Cougar Digital Marketing! Travis took the time to understand our goals, worked around our schedule, and went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. Ashley was a whiz and was always available when we needed her. Our site turned out better than we imagined. Can't recommend them enough.

I recently had an opportunity to choose a web designer to re-vamp and optimize Stepping Stones Alliance's website. Having worked with Cougar Digital before they were my choice for this project. I'm so glad they were able to work with us! The entire process from first meeting to re-launch of the site was stellar. They are quick to respond, listen to feedback, professional and clear in their communications, and spot-on with fulfilling the client desires. The entire team was great to work with along the way and I appreciated the high level of customer service at every point. Not only will I continue to work with them for all our organization's website needs, but I will recommend them to anyone looking for website and marketing projects.

Excellent service and good pricing. It was a pleasure working with Travis and his team. I highly recommend them!
