Our Story

We help you Act With Clarity™

Cascade Insights helps organizations seize opportunities in the B2B tech sector via a variety of market research & marketing services. We take a lot of pride in our specialization.

We don’t work outside the B2B tech sector, and we don’t do B2C.

Our clients range from enterprise tech giants to startups. Some are traditional technology companies and some are from fields such as finance, healthcare, education, etc. and have a B2B tech sector initiative.

Focused & Boutique

If we work together, you can expect us to provide a right-sized team on every project. We’ll put the right people and the right amount of people on the task of answering your business problem.  

Importantly, all of the folks you’ll meet are our full-time employees. We’re not a cabal of contractors like some other firms you know.

Though all of our analysts and creatives specialize in the B2B tech sector, the senior leadership of our company supervises every single project. This is not one of those firms where the fate of the project depends on outsourcing or low-level staff.

B2B Market Research &
Marketing You Can Trust

We don’t believe in conducting our work behind a velvet curtain. Your investment in our expertise will be met with regular updates on our progress.

If you have any questions during a project, we’ll always answer within 24 hours.

Finally, our deliverables are executive ready and don’t require any repackaging to get the point across to your leadership team.

Principles for Cascadians

  • We help our clients Act With Clarity™. We do this by making the truth visible.
  • All our work benefits from getting multiple perspectives from peers, managers, and clients.
  • When we share feedback with teammates or clients, we do it to educate and with a great deal of empathy, not in an attempt to pontificate.
  • The limelight isn’t a spotlight. It’s something we can share as a team.
  • We own up to our failures without being nudged or pushed to do so.
  • While we aren’t a democracy and decisions aren’t open to a vote, leaders recognize that listening is a crucial skill.
  • When given a task, a project, or an opportunity to grow, we own it, and we don’t deflect our work onto others.
  • We respect the flexibility and freedom that we enjoy with remote work, all the while holding ourselves accountable to do our job and stay communicative with our team and clients.
  • We believe in staying “constantly curious,” educating ourselves on industry best practices and new technologies, and growing our understanding of our clients’ challenges, problems, and opportunities.
  • Growth comes from asking great questions, whether these questions are directed at managers, teammates, or clients. This is true regardless of how long you have been at Cascade.
  • We focus on more than just the job at hand. Instead, we always strive to see how our work complements that of teammates and the company’s overall direction.
  • We are always evaluating our processes and toolbox, and we are happy to make changes that can benefit peers, clients, or the company’s overall performance.
