Social Media Management
Most social media management stops at scheduling posts and hoping the algorithm cooperates. The content that actually builds trust shows real people doing real work.
-
Is your social media just “Happy Thanksgiving” posts and recycled stock photos?
-
Are you posting inconsistently — or not at all — because you don't have time?
-
Does your feed actually look like your business, or like a template someone else owns?
-
Bottom line: Is your social media working for you, or just checking a box?
Social Media Pitfalls
People can spot an overused Canva template a mile away.
Most businesses are not ignoring social media because they do not care. They are ignoring it because even the “simple” posts take time.
You know social media matters, but every post feels like one more decision. What should we say? What photo should we use? Is this worth posting? So nothing goes up.
Your team is doing great work. There are real stories, projects, wins, and behind-the-scenes moments happening all the time. But capturing them, organizing them, and turning them into content rarely happens on a regular schedule.
Look, that Happy New Year post took you three hours to hone on Canva. What more can anyone expect from you?
Social media takes time, ideas, strategy, and actual content — and most businesses are short on at least one of those. We help create the photos, videos, captions, and a plan that make showing up consistently feel a whole lot less impossible.
Our Social Media Management Process
Real content, planned strategy, handled for you.
Here's what you actually get when you work with us on social media.
On-site photo and video content
We create real content from your business: your team, your work, your space, your process, and the moments that make people trust you. No more relying on stock photos, random phone pictures, or whatever someone can find last minute.
Content strategy & planning
We map out what to post, when to post it, and why it matters. Your social media should support your business goals, not just fill space on a calendar.
Posting, scheduling & responses
We keep your accounts active and organized so social media does not depend on someone remembering to post when they finally get a spare minute.
Monthly reporting
You get a clear look at what is working, what people are responding to, and where we should adjust. No vanity metric fog. Just useful information.
Branded templates and visual identity
Your social media should look like your business, not a pile of disconnected graphics. We keep the visuals consistent so your brand feels recognizable wherever people see it.
Content calendar approval
You stay in the loop without having to build everything yourself. We make the plan, you review it, and nothing goes live until it feels right.

Real Posts, Real Authenticity
Social media content that feels like your business.
Most businesses have more to post than they think. The problem is that the good stuff — your team, your work, your process, your customer questions, your wins, and the small moments that make your business feel real — rarely gets captured or organized. We help find it, shape it, and turn it into social media content that feels like your business instead of another template with your logo on it.
Your people
The team behind the work, behind-the-scenes moments, hiring, milestones, culture, and the human side people actually connect with.
Your work
Projects, services, before-and-afters, product features, finished jobs, case studies, and proof that you know what you’re doing.
Your process
How things work, what customers can expect, what makes your approach different, and the details people usually do not see until someone shows them.
Your expertise
Common questions, useful tips, myth-busting, industry education, and the kind of helpful answers that build trust before someone ever reaches out.
Your updates
Events, promotions, seasonal reminders, new services, announcements, and the timely stuff your audience actually needs to know.
Why Choose Cougar Digital Marketing?
We're not a posting service. We're part of your marketing team.
Social media management can mean someone logging into your accounts and scheduling content from a template library. Or it can mean a local team that understands your business, shows up with a camera, creates content that actually looks like you, and connects it to the rest of your marketing strategy.
We do the second version. Which means it's not the cheapest option — but it's the one that actually builds something.
-
Photo and video shoots included — content that looks like your business, not a template
-
Local team that knows your market and your customers
-
Strategy tied to your business goals — not just posting for the sake of it
-
Cross-channel coordination — your social connects to your ads, website, and SEO
-
Fully managed so you can focus on running your business
We are not here to decorate your feed. We build social media around real content, clear goals, and the kind of consistency that does not depend on you remembering to post between everything else you have to do.

When you do great work, people notice.
Cougar Digital has been great to work with! With their support we have seen significant improvement with our marketplace campaigns.
Cougar Digital and team is very responsive, knowledgeable, and capable and has done a great job in building and maintaining our business web site, and providing needed graphic design for our needs. Highly recommend them to anyone wanting expert work and assistance in these aspects of their business.
Cougar Digital answered the phone, literally. During a company name change, we reached out to multiple design and marketing groups from the Tri-Cities to Walla Walla to Spokane. Although we'd left messages with each vendor, Cougar was the only one courteous enough to respond. After a couple consultations, Joshua Kandle, Director of Marketing took charge of the design of our new company logo. With patience and professionalism, he listened to our concepts and following a series of modifications, he created a logo that is printed on millions of labels and boxes that're shipped globally. The logo is headlined on our website and our email, along with being printed on our work garments. Digital art might be easy with today's technology, but without Joshua's patient nature and ability to listen to our ideas, the incredible logo wouldn't have been possible. Vehemently I recommend Cougar Digital. They're professional yet personable. They're communicative and driven while remaining patient.
Ashley redid our website. She was professional, quick, and listened to all of our requests. Thank you!
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.
Happy we have businesses like this locally! Great customer service. Stayed in communication with me through the whole process. Five-star service.
These guys are great! It's always an interesting scenario when you begin a relationship with a new company. I will say that from experience Cougar Digital is one of the easiest and highly educated companies to work with. If you have a question a quick email or call gets an answer. If you have an idea these guys will without a doubt help to the best of their ability. I'm no expert in the marketing world but Cougar Digital makes me feel like I have everything I would ever need at my fingertips. Thanks a ton guys, we look forward to our continued partnership!
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!
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!
Cougar Digital is a top notch company. As a business owner you have to be sure that the dollars you are spending are worth the result. All too often we are promised things that never materialize. These guys deliver and they make it easy. I am not computer savvy and I'm sure asked dumb questions. They took all the time necessary to help make sure I understood and was comfortable. Great people too. Highly recommend.
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!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Cougar Digital Marketing for a photography/video project, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. We highly recommend!
I am the Office Manager of a business that badly needed a website reworked. I knew that Cougar Digital was up to the task, but I was unsure of my own Manager. He really didn't want to go through the steps to work with anyone on anything like a website. Nick was fabulous (as in over the top) in his Customer Service skills with a very hard to work with man. The professionalism of Cougar Digital, coupled with the patience and skills of Nick, provided my Manager with everything he needed to get a new website. The website is beautiful and I am one very pleased customer. I will always go to Cougar Digital for all of my marketing needs.
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!!
Ordered new business cards and was extremely pleased with the speed and service! Definitely recommend for your next marketing push!
Travis, Josh and everyone at Cougar Digital have been super to work with. They have become a partner in our business. Our web design and online media presence has greatly improved by implementing their recommendations. They go the extra mile.
The Review Manager service from Cougar Digital Marketing & Design is terrific! I have wanted to get reviews for years but felt awkward about asking. This service makes it easy, and the response has been phenomenal! 5 Stars and more!!
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!
Greatly appreciate the work that Josh and the Cougar Digital Marketing team did for our organization. We had a vague vision and they were able to make it better than we could have imagined. Appreciate their flexibility to work with us on a short turnaround and their suggestions for making the best video possible.
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.
I would highly recommend Cougar Digital Media! They worked with us on creating the exact vision we had for our website, they worked around our schedule to make sure the website matched our vision. Working with Nick went as smoothly as it could go, he went above and beyond with his creativity!
It was a pleasure to work with Joshua, he made us all feel comfortable despite not having experience speaking in front of a camera. I would totally recommend Josh and his team. The video was exceptional!
Excellent service and good pricing. It was a pleasure working with Travis and his team. I highly recommend them!
Thank you Cougar Digital. Over the past couple of years we have worked with Cougar Digital for rebranding, website updates, new logo, updating our business card and promotional material. They also produced an amazing testimonial video - so much fun working with Josh and his team to create this. I can’t begin to express how happy we are with the work Cougar Digitial has completed for us over the years. They are professional, punctual, very creative and so easy to work with. Looking forward to our partnership for years to come. I would highly recommend Cougar Digitial. Our team at New Leaf Creations is thankful for all of your amazing work and looking forward to working with Cougar Digital in the future.
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 professional and personable. Produced great picture and he is a Coug to boot. It doesn’t get any better. Go Cougs
Cougar Digital took the time to get to know our firm and our marketing goals before shooting any video. This made the video production process smooth and efficient. A short time after the shoot, their rough draft clips turned out to be nearly perfect final drafts, requiring very little input from us. They have an impressive creative and production team who strikes the right balance between respecting the time of their customers and getting the customer exactly what they want.
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!
Fantastic service! Cougar Digital gave me very professional one-to-one couching! This is making a significant impact on my projects!
I highly recommend Cougar Digital. I am currently working with them on 3 separate projects. They took over 2 community based websites that were painful to use and turned them into user friendly, performant websites. Their website & database design is outstanding and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. It has been a pleasure working with everyone at Cougar Digital!
Josh and Cougar Digital did an amazing job on a video for an event. We were super proud to show it to donors and had a wonderful response by community members regarding the video. Well done Josh and Cougar Digital!
Cougar Digital worked closely with us to create a website for our business that truly reflects our vision. They dedicated time and effort to ensure every detail aligned with our goals, and the end result exceeded our expectations. We’re extremely happy with the final product and appreciate their commitment to quality.
We are SO grateful with Josh from Cougar Digital! We are a community workspace and Josh came in and took some fantastic pictures of our brand new space! We are very pleased with the work that he did!
Great company! Love how quickly Josh responds to our needs, questions and requests! Highly recommend them
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.
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
Working with Josh Kandle on several video projects was such a great experience . He is not only a real pro and easy to work with but he was also so open to all of my ideas for creativity and understood a lot of what I was looking for as an independent recording artist. i would highly recommend him and look forward to hopefully being able to do more in the future. ~ Lisa Mitts, Recording Artist Songwriter, Performer
It was such a pleasure working with Cougar Digital. Not only was the process fast and easy, the work they created is amazing! Josh gave us a variety of different options to work with after taking the time to carefully listen to our needs. He made every little detail count and really brought our vision to life. We will definitely continue to work closely as our business continues to expand. Thank you, we could not be any happier.
Travis and his team are amazing. They were quick to communicate, completely understood what we were looking for, and delivered an amazing product by the deadline requested. We can’t recommend them enough!
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!
Cougar Digital did a great job arranging literature and building a website for us. Travis was very easy to work with, and the finished marketing material looks great. Thanks Cougs!
Josh was easy to work with. He returned my calls and emails promptly! And he did amazing job. I will not hesitate to reach out to him again for up coming projects!
The team at Cougar Digital Marketing are great to work with! They were very professional throughout the entire process of creating a beautiful website for me. Every member of the team I worked with was attentive to all of my questions/needs and they delivered exactly what I was hoping for in a website. I am so glad I found them!
Josh Kandle was able to complete a wonderful presentation to my Introduction to Business class at Columbia Basin College. He brought to life the world of Marketing on the internet and how to use it effectively and consistently. The students left the presentation with knowledge they could go out and use immediately. He was great!
Josh at Cougar Digital built us a beautiful website! He and Travis are wonderful to work with and made the whole process easier than I imagined it would be. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a great, quality website
Very easy to work with and extremely professional. Cougar Digital was able to take our vision and make it a reality as well as making it easy and seamless. I would highly recommend Cougar Digital to anyone!
Thank you Josh for your patience and expertise in helping us design our logo! Matt and I are really happy with the end result.
Questions?
Social media FAQs
If you’re thinking it, there’s a good chance someone else asked it too.
What is included in social media management?
Social media management usually includes content planning, caption writing, design, posting, scheduling, basic engagement support, and reporting. At Cougar Digital, it also includes real photo and video content because a posting calendar only works when there is something worth posting.
Why do you include photo and video in your social media management?
We include photo and video because real content performs better than generic graphics. People connect with your team, your work, your space, your process, and the moments that show what your business is actually like. Social media works better when the content looks like you, not a template.
How often should a business post on social media?
The right posting schedule depends on your business, audience, goals, and available content. Consistency matters more than posting constantly. We recommend a realistic rhythm your business can maintain, then build a content plan that supports visibility without posting just to post.
What social media platforms should my business be on?
Most businesses do not need to be everywhere. The right platforms depend on where your customers spend time and what kind of content makes sense for your business. We help clients focus on the platforms that support their goals, which may include Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, YouTube, or Pinterest.
Can I approve social media posts before they go live?
Yes. You can review your content calendar before posts are published. Some clients like to be hands-on, while others want us to manage most of the process. Either way, the goal is to keep social media moving without making it harder on your team.
How much do I need to be involved in content creation?
You do not need to create everything yourself (obviously), but your input matters. The best content usually comes from real things happening inside your business, so we will ask the right questions, guide what to capture, and use photo and video shoots to make the process easier.
How do I know if social media is working?
Social media is working when it supports real business goals: stronger visibility, better engagement, more trust, more website traffic, more inquiries, or better brand recognition. We look at the numbers, but we also look at whether the content is helping people understand and remember your business.
Do you just schedule posts, or do you create the content too?
We create the content too. Scheduling is only one part of social media management. We help with strategy, writing, design, photo, video, platform planning, and reporting so your social media has substance behind it.
