-
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.Â
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.

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!
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.
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.
Josh has a great eye and delivers on what he promises. Easy to work with and very responsive.
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.
Excellent service. Creative work. They understand what you are trying to do and deliver! So enjoyable to work with them!
Awesome local digital agency. Their webdesign capabilities and customer rapport is super impressive. Loved working with Travis and Josh!
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!
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!
Cougar Digital went above and beyond to ensure our complete and total satisfaction with creating and launching our new website which can be a challenging process when multiple opinions are involved. Josh in particular was very attentive, patient and helpful throughout the creative process and also with recommendations for SEO and innovative solutions for soliciting reviews and feedback from customers to boost online reviews. He also facilitated communication with our existing IT support to smoothly transition our domain and emails. I highly recommend the expertise of Cougar Digital for help with all things digital. If they don't offer a solution themselves, they will help you find one!
It has been a pleasure working with Cougar Digital. From managing our ads, rebuilding our website, and maintaining our Google reviews, we have been more than satasfied. We also have no problem getting a hold of them with any questions we may have or help we may need. I highly recommend them! Thank you, Alison and the rest of us at Columbia Basin Satellite & Electric
Cougar Digital provides excellent follow through on all our projects. We trust them with developing solutions for our email marketing campaigns, graphic design, and collateral creation. Their designs are used by our partners nationally. We count on them for specific website support work and they always come through for us. They are solution oriented and their upbeat, friendly customer service is unparalleled.
Cougar Digital Marketing & Design assisted us in developing a logo for our apple fruit development project. Their creativity, knowledge, guidance, and patience through the process was remarkable. We are very happy with the resulting concept and image. We highly recommend Josh and Travis at CDMD for your media marketing needs.
Cougar Digital has been so incredible to work with! They are always able to turn our words and ideas into a beautiful finished product quickly. The staff is responsive and professional and we love working with Josh. He is a true artist and always delivers a stunning product. Thank you Cougar!
Cougar digital has been an awesome! Basin Pacific Insurance could not be more happy about the work that they have done, the personal experience, and the creative ideas! Keep up the good work! Josh Toner/ Basin Pacific Insurance
Josh, with Cougar Digital, is so amazing to work with. He far exceeded my quick turn around time on a logo design that we had him help us with. His expertise in his field has been very beneficial to our business. Josh truly lives the "Givers Gain" philosophy!
Ordered new business cards and was extremely pleased with the speed and service! Definitely recommend for your next marketing push!
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.
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.
Cougar Digital has been extremely easy to work with. The owner and staff are all courteous and friendly. We're really happy with our experience with the whole team and their overhaul they did on our website. I would definitely recommend them if you're needing to update your website. They've been great and are always happy to help!
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
So great to have a guy like Josh and the Cougar Digital team in your corner. Professional, fast, and awesome to work with.
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.
Excellent service and good pricing. It was a pleasure working with Travis and his team. I highly recommend them!
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.
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.
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 working with Josh! Super easy to work with and really knows his stuff - especially when it comes to lighting and editing for interior shots. The photos turned out amazing, with just the right vibe we were going for. We ended up adding a few extra shot requests last minute, and Josh had no problem fitting them in. He also helped with staging, which made a big difference, and the drone footage was a great bonus. His pricing was very reasonable for the quality we got. Great value for money. We’ll definitely be hiring him again for future shoots!
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 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.
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!
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.
Josh did a great job on my headshot. He provided a timely appointment and spent the time to make sure he got the best shot. He was even willing to try several different locations. I would recommend him for anybody looking to update the professional photos.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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!
Easy to work with, delivered what I asked for, competent, quality work by nice guys.
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!
Josh did a great job on our logo! He even let us sit with him at his personal computer so we could be involved with the finishing touches. Thanks Josh and Thanks Cougar Digital!!
