What Catapult Creative does

Catapult Creative is a Dayton, Ohio-based, privately-held full-service digital marketing agency founded in 2013. The firm operates from a single headquarters at 10 N. Ludlow St. and serves a diverse mix of enterprise, mid-market, SMB, nonprofit, and government clients across verticals including real estate and home builders, gaming and entertainment (e.g., Dolphin Hat Games/Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza), sports (Dayton Dragons), manufacturing and technology (PUI Audio, Honeywell), restaurants and food service, higher education (University of Dayton), museums, and government contractors (Woolpert Digital Innovations). Its integrated offering spans eight service lines: branding and design, website design and development, digital marketing and social media, SEO and website analytics, email marketing, photography, marketing strategy, and video and animation.

Underlying technology is built around mainstream agency stacks: WordPress for web and e-commerce builds (supporting WooPayments, Stripe, Square, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, Authorize.net), Google Analytics for measurement, geofencing and connected TV/OTT platforms for paid media, and a generative AI tooling layer (Adobe Firefly, Kive, Luma Dream Machine, Suno, ChatGPT) used to accelerate video, image, audio, and copywriting production. The agency is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA on its own site and integrates accessibility into procurement. No proprietary platform, model, or API is offered; the firm's intellectual property is concentrated in its case-study portfolio and performance marketing methodology.

The business model is professional-services agency revenue. Pricing is quote-based with stated budget tiers of $1-5K, $5-10K, $10-20K, and $20-50K+, with project timelines ranging from 1-3 months to 6+ months, and billing on retainer, hourly, or flat-fee structures depending on engagement. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct outreach, website inquiries, referrals, and case-study demonstrations, targeting both local Dayton clients and national accounts. The firm employs 11-50 staff, has built 250+ websites over its operating history, and has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public-company aspirations — operating as a founder-led independent agency.

• LYFE Marketing: Mid-sized digital marketing agency offering social media, PPC, SEO, and web design. Comparable in service breadth and mid-market positioning, although tends to skew more SMB than Catapult.
• SocialSEO: Mid-sized digital marketing agency with SEO, PPC, and social media focus. Comparable integrated service model and pricing tier; direct competitor for performance-driven clients of similar size.
• Bullseye Strategy: Mid-sized full-service digital marketing agency offering branding, web design, and performance marketing services. Comparable integrated agency model with similar mid-market B2B/consumer client focus.
• Adept Marketing: Midwest-based full-service digital marketing agency with comparable service scope (branding, web, digital marketing, content) and a similar B2B/industrial client roster. Comparable size and integrated agency model.
• SmartSites: Mid-market digital marketing agency specializing in web design, SEO, and PPC. Comparable in service mix and operationally similar service tiers, with a comparable SMB-to-mid-market client base.
• The James Agency: Mid-sized full-service branding, web, and digital marketing agency headquartered in Phoenix, AZ.

Broad incumbents

• Power Digital Marketing: Mid-to-large full-service digital marketing agency with a comparable service stack (branding, web, performance media, content, SEO). Useful comparable for what a multi-vertical performance agency looks like at scale.
