-
Building a logo before you know the brand.
A logo matters, but it should not come before your message, audience, positioning, and how the brand needs to show up. Otherwise, you end up with something that looks fine in one place and falls apart everywhere else.
-
Launching without a real website.
Social media helps, but it should not be your whole online presence. A simple, clear website gives people somewhere to learn about you, trust you, and take the next step when they are ready.
-
Skipping local visibility.
If people cannot find your business on Google, Maps, or local search, you are making word of mouth work too hard. Your Google Business Profile, website content, location signals, and reviews all help people find and choose you.
-
Spending money on ads too early.
Ads can work, but only when they have somewhere useful to send people. If your website, message, offer, or follow-up process is not ready, paid traffic can burn through budget without fixing the real problem.
-
Trying to look bigger instead of clearer.
New businesses sometimes overcomplicate the brand, website, or marketing because they want to look established. Clear beats complicated. People need to understand what you do, who it is for, and why they should care.
-
Treating marketing like a launch task.
Marketing does not stop once the doors open or the website goes live. The first version gets you started. The work after launch is what helps you build visibility, earn trust, and keep improving.

When you do great work, people notice.
Josh and the Cougar Digital team were great to work with and delivered a quality product with website updates, tenant testimonial videos, and a commercial. I would highly recommend Cougar Digital for your marketing needs! 😊
The team at Cougar Digital did a great job helping us translate our company culture and goals into a visual representation of who we are as a company. They took the time to understand what we wanted to convey and helped us select the right colors, logo, fonts, and overall branding to bring that vision to life. The entire process was collaborative and professional, and we’re extremely happy with how everything came together. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel straightforward and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Cougar Digital to any company looking to build or refresh their brand.
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 have never had a bad interaction with Mykaela, and she goes above and beyond to provider exemplary customer service at every turn. 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.
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.
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 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!
Cougar Digital has been handling our website needs for years. They have been great to work with. At times we need their help to insert links into the web page and they do that. Each month they send us information on the data. How many searches for us and a lot of great information. Again, everyone with Cougar Digital has been great to work with.
Cougar did an exceptional job designing and executing our website for Flex Space Business Centers. Additionally, the videos they produced turned out fantastic!
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.
I honestly don't know where to start. My partners and I could not be happier with the process from start to finish working with Ashley and Cougar Digital Marketing. It was an absolute pleasure working with Ashley and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to either create a website for their business or enhance their current one like we did. The service and pricing we experienced completely exceeded our expectations.
