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.

Where are things getting stuck?
Most of our work starts when something valuable is scattered, outdated, or harder than it should be.
Our public presence no longer matches who we are.
Your website, messaging, or brand feels outdated, unclear, or smaller than the organization has become. We build the presence that catches up.
Catalyst StudioWe can't keep up with everything that's changing.
Market shifts, emerging technology, competitive threats, opportunities you can't see from inside the business. We deliver intelligence you can act on.
Catalyst IntelligenceWe keep recreating the same work.
Reports, proposals, grants, and client materials take too much time to produce from scratch. We build systems that reduce the effort and improve the output.

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.
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.
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.
