Our History

Catapult May Be A New Name TO The Industry, But The Company Has A Rich And Dynamic History.

Catapult began as a part of Ryan Partnership with an expertise in developing national consumer promotions that create impact.

In 1994, in response to retailer consolidation, we were the first agency to offer seamless national consumer promotion and customer marketing plan development and execution. We developed integrated consumer/customer marketing programs that leveraged our understanding of the brand, consumer and retail landscape and that would achieve the incremental display and actionable sales results our clients were looking for.

Soon afterwards, clients requested this action-oriented approach be used to lead the integrated planning process as we leveraged our expertise in merchandising, direct marketing, interactive, advertising, packaging and cultural marketing to assure the consumer and the customer heard a single voice.

Catapult was launched as an independent subsidiary of D.L. Ryan Companies in September 2005, signaling a new era in agency offerings. The genesis of the launch was the increasing need for manufacturers and service providers to balance brand, consumer and retailer marketing efforts under a single, consistent communication platform.

Today, Catapult provides clients with an integrated agency resource that is client-centric and not dependent on independent operating silos. This means that our clients enjoy multidiscipline support through a Single Point of Client Contact.

Catapult continues to be an independent subsidiary of D.L. Ryan Companies and uniquely focuses on balancing the importance of building brand value, consumer loyalty and retailer support. With over 125 employees in Westport, CT, Los Angeles, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Nashville, TN and Bentonville, AR, Catapult is the nexus of brand, consumer and customer marketing.
