Josh Kilen

Josh founded Cascade Digital Marketing in 2016 after nearly two decades in marketing, publishing, and media. He'd seen how the agency model worked from the inside and how often it failed the businesses it was supposed to serve. So he built something different: an agency that starts with research and measures everything against revenue.

He holds Google Ads certifications across Search, Display, Video, and Mobile. He's a graduate of Central Washington University, where he served as ASCWU Vice President of Academic Affairs and Managing Editor of the campus newspaper. He's written over 30 books on marketing and AI-enhanced research, and he publishes regularly on what's working in digital marketing for professional organizations.

Based in Tacoma, Josh personally leads strategy for every client engagement. The 3-5 new clients per quarter limit isn't a marketing gimmick. It's the only way to do the work at the depth these firms deserve.
