Light touch, serious results

We are a small highly experienced team who thrive on getting under the skin of different causes and brands, and achieving brilliant results for our clients. We know the charity sector really well — from both a client and agency perspective. But although we’ve had plenty of commercial experience, our hearts are well and truly in the not for profit sector.

This is the more unusual bit though — we look beyond the charity sector for inspiration and leading thinking. We’re more interested in what we can learn about your brand and supporters from what commercial brands are doing. We really don’t like tired charity formulaic work.

Our approach is strategic (we’re big on planning), yet it’s highly pragmatic, creative and results oriented. In short, with Catalyst you get the best of both worlds: people who understand the sector and all its issues, idiosyncrasies and subtleties but who are fresh in their thinking.


“Catalyst have helped us produce a large volume of work in the build-up to our busiest time — Christmas. Together, we have produced two inserts, two press ads, a direct mail pack and eight different online ads. Catalyst’s creative work is always of an exceptionally high standard. Their account management is consistently reliable and their strategic input is invaluable.”
