Brand, digital presence, market intelligence, and custom AI systems for small and mid-sized organizations.

Catalyst works on the distance between what your organization is and what it could be.

Catalyst Studio

Brand, messaging, websites, and digital presence for organizations that have outgrown how they show up.

Strategy comes before aesthetics. We start with the business, the audience, and the market — then build the system that expresses it.

Brand strategy & identity

Positioning, naming, logo, color system, typography, voice, and visual language. Everything that makes a business recognizable and cohesive across every touchpoint. We deliver a system that scales, not a logo file.

Web design & development

Websites that convert. Clean, fast, mobile-first, and built to communicate what your business actually does. From single-page sites to full e-commerce — strategy through deployment.

Social branding & strategy

Profile assets, visual templates, brand guidelines for social platforms, and strategic direction. We build the system and advise on strategy; you and your team own the execution.

Ongoing digital support

Site updates, design refreshes, platform expansions, and performance optimization — so you don't outgrow your digital presence six months after launch.

Catalyst Intelligence

Substantive analysis and clear direction for organizations that need better signal before their next move.

Not raw alerts or a news digest. A tailored intelligence product built around your objectives, your competitive set, and the decisions actually in front of you.

Recurring intelligence briefs

Ongoing, tailored monitoring and analysis across a curated source universe refined over time. We track the developments that matter, filter out the noise, and deliver analysis designed to save time and improve decision quality. The value compounds as our understanding of your business deepens.

Bespoke research projects

Discrete, scoped engagements built around a specific strategic question, opportunity, or audit. Competitive landscape analysis. Brand audits. Industry assessments. Opportunity and risk evaluations. Each project is defined by a clear scope, timeline, and deliverable.

Catalyst AI Build

Custom AI systems that increase productivity and improve work quality, giving you back time for what's important and what comes next.

We build for the work you already do. The system drafts, structures, and assists. Your people review, decide, and own the result.

Deliverable systems

Turn a defined set of inputs into a branded, client-ready document. Property comparisons, market briefs, findings memos, candidate assessments, account briefs — produced in your voice, at your standard, without starting from scratch.

Writing systems

Load the institutional knowledge, constrain the voice, and produce a strong first draft. Grant applications, RFP responses, proposals, donor communications, board memos. The knowledge stops living in one person's head.

Decision support

Messy inputs structured into evidence, risks, open questions, and a recommended next step. Market entry, vendor comparison, opportunity assessment, hiring decisions — the preparation handled so the judgment stays yours.

Who we are

Twenty years and hundreds of projects in the making.

Catalyst is built by operators. Product, technology, and marketing people who spent two decades shipping software, building companies, and creating brands, mostly inside companies where the outcome was our problem.

That work taught us what actually moves a business: knowing the customer, saying clearly what you do, showing up well, understanding the market you're in, and using AI where it earns its keep. The three practices are those lessons, organized.
