Our Purpose
We connect good people with amazing brands
That’s what marketing really is. Connecting. Not manipulating. So we dive into the heart of our clients’ purpose, values, personality, wants and fears. We’re looking for fit. Between us and our clients. Between our clients and their tribe. Human connections are catalysts for amazing outcomes.
Our Difference
An agency like no other
It’s our principles and values that are the x-factor here. If you agree with these – we’re meant to be.
Good humans only
Within and without, we only collaborate with truthful and enthusiastic optimists. Life’s too short to do otherwise.
Strategy is essential
We only execute on marketing initiatives when a brand has a clear strategy. Otherwise, success is impossible.
Storytelling is everything
Humans connect via stories. We view every piece of content as an opportunity to welcome your audience into your brand story.
Marketing ≠ manipulation
Respecting customers is essential to successful connections and commercial relationships. We influence, not manipulate.
5-10x ROI
We strive to achieve 5-10x return on marketing investment for all our clients. We track this outcome to stay accountable.
Long term value creation
The best commercial outcomes are a consequence of long term brand building. However, we often get short term results.
The Dream Team
We’re greater than the
sum of our parts.

Client Success
Manesh takes the time to patiently understand your business and what you are aiming to achieve with your marketing assets… I have experienced a renewed passion for the work that we undertake and now have a deeper understanding of how to better control and maximise our return on investment for our marketing spend.
I was blown away by their research and understanding of not only our business but our competitors. Manesh brought great enthusiasm and humour to our sessions and made the journey really enjoyable. I went into the first session kicking and screaming, but was converted day 1 and was totally engaged in the process. The end result has firmly put our business on a course to achieve our marketing goals. Can’t recommend them enough.
The team at Catalyst have helped us transform our business. They’ve managed to completely reinvigorate the way we brand the company all the way from our marketing strategy, to our website migration, and content marketing/social media.
His ability to ask questions to create insights on my business and target audiences, follow enough of a process to provide structure and allow conversation to flow, his analysis into my potential market and competitors were amazing. His patience and enthusiasm got me through more challenging issues and allowed for further research and his subject matter expertise has got me to a place well beyond that I thought possible.
