As someone new to marketing, my Cogent Team took of me under their wing and helped me every step of the way. Jordan, my account manager was the best! Rick and Jon added depth and understanding to our conversations. Together they created a campaign that has already shown results. I feel lucky to have worked with such professionals.

Jordan, Heather, Alejandro, and Rick put together a new clean, modern website for our company, and, just weeks into it being live, we are already seeing it drive new business!

Our experience with cogent analytics was great! As a family owned small business we grew at a faster rate than we were expecting, cogent came in, identified our areas of struggle, many of which we were aware of, but could never formulate the proper plan to fix, their staff were great in giving us information to improve systems we already had, as well as give us new systems to use going forward, we are thankful for their help, and look forward to continuing to grow as a company thanks to the help of Laticia, Ed and the rest of the cogent staff.

The Discovery process was very different than what I expected from start to finish. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Analyst was prepared, polished and well informed. He had a very informative approach with a zest for the facts and how Cogent could help us maximize our business model. 2. We now have a new excitement for what the future holds. We are relieved to know we have a realistic achievable plan and not just a daily grind. 3. Our future work load will now be intentional and executed with a team and not just one or two individuals working long and tireless hours. We now have a defined plan and not just a dream! 4. Stay tuned! I'll make sure I share our progress! Good, bad or indifferent.

When we first engaged Cogent Analytics, we knew we had significant growth opportunities ahead of us, but we lacked the organizational clarity, operational structure, and strategic framework necessary to fully realize our potential. The Cogent team, especially our exceptional project leader, Alex Sansone, guided us through a comprehensive discovery process that fundamentally changed the way we view and operate our business. After moving to the implementation phase of the project under the guidance of our Project Director Randall Sullivan, we were very fortunate to be able to work with Davit Khvartskia whose expertise in the implementation of secure and efficient AI process and tools is revolutionizing the way we do business now and in the future.

So far so good. I learned a lot in the discovery and decided to move forward with the next big step. Wade is a good guy and taught me a lot. The entire staff here is excited and ready for phase 2.

I had the pleasure of working with Zack Al-Mahayni and the Cogent team to restructure our company and optimize my role as General Manager of Elite Pipeline Services. We operate a unique business model, and Zack successfully navigated our complex company dynamics. He successfully improved communication channels across our division while significantly boosting overall efficiencies and productivity. I highly recommend Cogent's business services to any organization looking to scale and or streamline operations.

I was skeptical about this engagement at first. After a few months of working with Cogent I have nothing but great things to say. I have learned tons and with Cogent’s guidance I honestly think our company will flourish. My team: Sarah, Shaffer, Rex, Ryan and Eric

Let's talk

Here’s what happens when advisors do the work instead of just talking about it

  • We have a team that’s starting to feel empowered and not just employed.

  • My experience with Cogent was life-changing.

  • Roles are clearer, expectations are better defined, and our leadership team is finally working in sync.
