Strategy

Superboost your campaigns
A successful campaign is all in the planning. We’ll define your audience, understand their wants and needs, then package your cause in a motivating way that moves hearts, changes minds and inspires action, ultimately making the world a better place.

Consumer Research

Get to know the people who matter
We’ll start every campaign by getting under the skin of your target audience, finding out how they think, feel and act. And these dynamite research findings will inform your entire strategy. 

Insight

Don’t sit in the dark – get some insight
We’ll find nuggets lurking in your data that show you the way forward. We’ll evaluate the results, providing you with intelligent and reliable data that translates into a clear, actionable plan that firmly shapes everything from creative to media selection.

Creative

Great creative starts with inspired planning
Good creative must be compelling. And that starts by getting to know your organisation, your cause and the needs and values of your target market. Winning hearts and minds, we create ideas that resonate deeply and deliver exceptional results.

Media

We know what works – and what doesn’t.
Catalyst Media, our dynamic media planning and buying service, will provide space and time across a multitude of platforms, from TV, radio and online, to direct mail and inserts. While touching even the hardest to reach audiences, we’ll make sure your campaign stands out.

Print

Light touch, rigorous approach
With over 40 years’ experience across all the disciplines of print and production, we bring a wealth of knowledge on everything from paper sourcing to innovative print formats.

TV

Be seen on screen
Whether it’s promoting brand, changing opinion, raising funds or providing an umbrella for a larger integrated campaign, moving image is everywhere and is essential to getting your message across on multi-channel.

Digital

"I've been working with Catalyst on our legacy programme for years. Catalyst have fed their experience and wisdom into our strategy, and developed effective media plans and innovative creative ideas. They offer also excellent supporter research which has helped make our marketing very donor focused. They are a pleasure to work with."

John Hutchin, Greenpeace

"We have worked with Catalyst for several years on some of our most successful campaigns. As well as supplying creative and production for our direct marketing materials, they have helped us refine our mailing selections and segmentation, so we are more efficient and making considerable savings! They are always available and do all they can to help us meet our objectives. From strategic advice and analysis, to DRTV adverts and DM, they are a core component of the Tearfund team."

Jon Ackroyd, Tearfund
