Meet Insight

WE GET MARKETING!

The marketing world has changed tremendously since I started Insight Marketing in September 1997.  It is a fascinating, exciting time that allows smaller businesses to compete globally on the level of large corporations with big budgets.  We also get that sometimes your marketing and branding gets stale and you simply don’t have the time or don’t know where to start.  Give me a call if you are ready to hydrate your business, we will make it painless.
– Cathy M. Busick, owner/founder

She has successfully launched several marketing plans for our company that resulted in increased revenue and drove more traffic to our website.

She is a team player and certainly an asset to any organization.

Rare Talents and Integrity

It is rare that you come across such an extremely talented individual like Cathy Busick, President of Insight Marketing. I appreciated her attention to detail and creative approach in the design and strategic decisions made during my re-election campaign for Superior Court Judge. The professionalism and integrity of Cathy throughout the election cycle was unwavering, which allowed me as the candidate to respond to misinformation causing confusion to voters while remaining focused on running an honest, fact-based campaign. These unique talents possessed by Insight Marketing further allowed me to constantly drive meaningful engagement on social media. I developed a wonderful partnership with Cathy and her team. Their dedication to my website and all my social media management needs was evident to the viewer. Rest assured that your message will also be heard loud and clear with the assistance of Cathy. Insight Marketing was outstanding and their responsive service is beyond anything I could have imagined. Insight Marketing receives my highest recommendation. Cathy Busick is the marketing professional you will hire again.

Wish we had found sooner

The Insight Marketing team helped us revamp our entire brand.  Cathy made the entire process fun and enjoyable.  Advertising and marketing is useless without a great brand. Cathy knew how to turn our vision into a complete new look for our office.  Our new branding has allowed us to really perfect our marketing and advertising.  I wish we would have found Insight Marketing sooner.
