Today’s communications challenges don’t fit neatly into advertising, public relations, organizing, or digital marketing.
Neither do our solutions.
Big challenges deserve bold solutions.
Catalyst Campaigns combines strategic communications, narrative development, audience research, rapid response, earned
and paid media, digital engagement, and cultural organizing to help organizations shape public opinion, mobilize supporters,
and create meaningful change.
Unconventional Problems Require
Unconventional Campaigns
When the stakes are high, conventional communications often aren’t enough.
The issue may be too complex. The narrative may be working against you. Public attention may be elsewhere. Or everyone may be using the same playbook.
Catalyst identifies the strategic opportunities others miss and develops creative, integrated campaigns that combine research, storytelling, media, advertising, organizing, culture, and digital engagement to change the conversation and move people to action.

The United States Rugby Players Association (USRPA), already the recognized bargaining representative for players on the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Teams, began organizing Major League Rugby players around…
No More Side Hustles
Although women’s soccer is one of the most successful professional women’s sports in the United States, approximately one-third of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) players are paid the League’s minimum salary, just $22,000 per year; three-fourths of the League’s athletes reportedly make under $31,000. In 2017, the players formally unionized as a means to combat these pay inequities and work towards fairer contracts, more transparency, and safer working conditions.
