Growth doesn’t happen overnight. The businesses that win are the ones that stay consistent, play the long game, and keep showing up.

You want consistency throughout your marketing assets and campaigns.
-
You want your business to grow continuously over time.
All Your Marketing Needs in One Place
The best marketing feels like teamwork.
When your goal is long-term growth, you need more than an agency—you need a partner who understands your business and works alongside you. We act as an extension of your team, collaborating closely to create strategies that build momentum and deliver results that last.
-
Dive Deep
We dive deep to learn who you are, what makes your brand unique, and what goals you want to achieve so we can develop strategies that are in sync with your identity and vision.
-
Keep it Consistent
Disjointed marketing efforts lead to disappointing results. We champion the power of consistency and cohesion in your marketing strategy to maximize results.
-
Stay Synced
As an integral part of your team, we remain open with communication and in sync with your objectives. Regular strategy sessions allow us to update and adapt our strategy over time.
-
Focus on Growth
Partnerships thrive on mutual growth, and we're always thinking about what we can be doing to move the needle a little further. Everything we do is in service of your long-term goals and real-world results.
-
Keep Costs Low
You have better things to do than to micromanage projects. Having one marketing partner that does it all is a more cost-effective and time-efficient approach than reinventing the wheel every time you start a new project.

Marketing Partnership FAQs
Questions? We've heard 'em all.
If you’re thinking it, there’s a good chance someone else asked it too.
How is a marketing partnership different from a one-off project?
A project is a single sprint. A partnership is the full marathon. When you work with us long-term, we’re able to dig into your goals, pivot with your business, and build on real data.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
Nope. We offer month-to-month marketing partnerships because we believe you should work with a team that earns your trust—not locks you in. That said, results take time, so we ask that you give the process a few months to really gain traction.
What does a typical marketing partnership include?
It really depends on your goals and what kind of support your business needs to grow. No two partnerships look exactly the same—and that’s the point. We tailor everything to fit your pace, your market, and your budget.
For example, a construction company might use their monthly hours for regular photo and video shoots to showcase new builds or job sites, plus social media content to keep their brand active and visible. An auto shop might lean into paid ads to drive leads and have us handle ongoing website updates, seasonal promos, or even review generation.
Some clients need help planning and launching campaigns. Others need graphic design, reporting, or creative support on the fly. Whatever mix of services you need, we’ll build a plan around it—and keep it flexible so you’re always getting the most value.
We also sit down with you regularly (at least once a quarter) to look at what we’ve done, what’s working, and what needs to shift. Every partnership is rooted in strategy, not just deliverables. So whether you're running full speed or just want consistent progress, you’ll always know what’s happening and where we’re going next.
How do I know if a marketing partnership is worth it for my business?
If you’re wearing too many hats or guessing your way through marketing decisions, a partnership gives you clarity, consistency, and an actual plan. We focus on growth—not just busy work—so your time and money go further.
Can we scale up or down as things change?
Yes. Your partnership can flex with your business. Whether you're launching something new or tightening the budget, we’ll adjust your plan to make the most of what you have.

When you do great work, people notice.
Ashley redid our website. She was professional, quick, and listened to all of our requests. Thank you!
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.
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!!
Thank you Josh for your patience and expertise in helping us design our logo! Matt and I are really happy with the end result.
I have been working with the team and Cougar Digital now for almost five years and I genuinely love working with them. They have become such valuable partners on the marketing side of our business. I can't recommend them strongly enough!! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!
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.
Service is the difference!! Ashley is super sharp and ahead of the curve but the real value is access and responsiveness. Other providers I have had were great until they got paid then very slow to respond to updates and changes I needed. Ashley is lighting in a bottle and handles updates and changes with urgency as well as keeps us informed of new emerging opportunities to consider. Highly reccomend. It would be a Mistake not to give her a meeting before deciding who to partner with.
Travis Hartliep and his crew are amazing! I worked with Josh on designing a book cover and he was great... was willing to work through numerous changes and updates, suggested helpful things to push the project along, and was very patient and courteous. We came in on budget and on time for the project and the end result was fantastic. I highly recommend Cougar Digital for any and all of your design and marketing needs.
Josh Kandle and his team did a great job educating us about the importance of up-to-date digital tools, and how quickly out-of-date solutions can hinder our on-line reach. The solutions he offered were more than fairly priced, paid immediate dividends, and I am happy to refer him to any business in need of a productive digital marketing program.
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!
Cougar Digital Marketing recently created a new website for our company. They did an outstanding job from start to finish. They took the time to listen to how I wanted my website to look and feel and then they nailed it! This is the second website they have designed for my company. I now also use Cougar Digital for my marketing materials. I highly recommend Cougar Digital.
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!
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!
Easy to work with, delivered what I asked for, competent, quality work by nice guys.
We love Cougar Digital! We have worked with them on various projects - rack cards, posters, banners, even a couple commercials. They're friendly, helpful, creative, and truly and do great work. We would recommend them to anyone!
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.
This team is awesome! they truly have most things figured out and thought through before you walk through the door. And the unknowns are easily resolved with their level of professionalism! We cant say enough about Ashley the design manager and Josh the photographer! They both made the process fun and easy and we were constantly surprised by the “WOW” factor! Thank you all and we look forward to future growth for both our small businesses.
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!
Working with Josh at Cougar Digital Marketing & Design was an excellent experience! The process was incredibly collaborative, allowing us to bring our vision for the Pasco School District Career Guide to life. Josh listened to our ideas, provided valuable insights, and worked tirelessly to ensure the final product exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with the outcome and can't wait to share our new Career Guide with our students and families. Highly recommend Cougar Digital for any design and marketing needs!
Cougar Digital Marketing ROCKS! I've worked with Travis and Josh from the very beginning. These folks know their stuff and do a fantastic job with website design & promotion, digital photography and so much more. Their services are very reasonably priced and they know how to GET RESULTS. Great BANG for your marketing BUCK. Look no further that Cougar Digital - these folks will take good care of you.
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.
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!
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!
If you need a website. Call these guys and you won't be disappointed. You'll be surprised at how affordable they are and with the great LOCAL customer service they provide. These guys know their stuff.
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.
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 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.
Cougar Digital should be your only call for web design. I would give them 6 stars if I could. #Silverline
We had a short timetable and a limited budget. The end result was great. Working with the Cougar Digital team made the project very enjoyable.
We needed to update our website and Josh at Cougar Digital was very responsive, helpful, and capable. Our refreshed website looks great! -Jennifer Williamson Forster, Executive Director, South Sound Reading Foundation.
Fantastic service! Cougar Digital gave me very professional one-to-one couching! This is making a significant impact on my projects!
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 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.
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!!
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.
Josh & Travis are wonderful to work with! They are both great at creating with both little to go on or very specific instructions, and exceptionally receptive to changes. I happily recommend them as often as the opportunity presents itself!
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.
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!
Very helpful and easy to work with. They thought about everything that we needed on our website and it looks amazing! Very satisfied.
Josh did a great job making a couple of highlight videos for me. Easy to work with and prompt service
Josh and the Cougar Digital team did an amazing job with a drone video production that included narration. The quality of audio and video show a professional production level. I appreciate the attention to detail and quality of work by the Cougar Digital team.
Cougar Digital has been immensely helpful in launching my business website. Being new to the business world, they were patient, professional and diligent in getting my website looking absolutely wonderful. They provided me with the tools to make the website impressive and productive. Further, the opportunity to have the website monitored and refined by Cougar Digital relieves me of a great deal of stress.
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.
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!
Ashley is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond when you have questions. Ashley is very attentive to your ideas. My website gets very high compliments.
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!
