Heather Jones's Review Sourced from Google
I recently worked with Catapult on a new apartment community project, and the finished product was outstanding. They were creative, very thorough, quick with communication, and on time with delivery. I've since referred them to other clients and would welcome the opportunity to work with them again.
Margaret Zukas's Review Sourced from Google
A couple of years ago I was looking for an agency to redesign a product package. After interviewing several agencies Catapult Strategic Design clearly rose to the top. They truly understood that we needed a strategic design partner for the brand rather than just a new package. We have since worked together on many projects as they are our go-to agency for most of our marketing design needs. The team at Catapult is fun to work with and never disappoints.
Frank Yoke's Review Sourced from Google
I have worked with Catapult Strategic Design for the last four years on 3 design projects a year and my company has been involved with Catapult for several years before that. They have also designed my personal website. My rating on all of these projects would be 5 star.

Christine is the best! She takes ideas & makes them 10 times better. And she actually helps implement them! I’m a business owner with 100’s of ideas, but struggle with making it happen. That’s where Christine helps!
Lauren Trivison's Review Sourced from Google
Christine has changed the life of my business with her expertise! I have learned so much from her over the years and I know my career wouldn’t be where it is today without her. I cannot recommend her work enough and she is my go to referral if you need social media!
Ashley Cone's Review Sourced from Google
Christine and her team are incredible, I really cannot recommend them enough. I’ve seen Christine work actual magic for clients I’ve shared with her, while also hiring her for our own services. Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!

My company tapped BRING to help tell a human interest story for a national client. Not only do they get the importance of the emotional connection through branding with video production, they brought extra tools and a great attitude and some subtle ideas to help make the impact needed. All while meeting the deadline and staying within my budget. The subjects being interviewed in the feature were so impressed that that sent a box of swag, and personal hand written thank you notes about the sensitivity and professionalism of the crew. A great win for my company, we will use them again!

Over 80% of US ad spend across tech/electronics (87.1%), retail (82.9%), and consumer packaged goods (80.2%) niche is allocated for digital media.
Tech and electronics companies rarely invest in traditional advertising, putting only 12.9% of their budget into print, radio, TV, or OOH.
Retail isn’t far behind, with just 17.1% of the ad spend going to legacy formats.

Advertising costs in the US start from $900 for digital campaigns and can go as high as $100,000 for TV ads. The pricing depends on the region, platform, campaign, reach, targeting, creative quality, and the channel.
Overall, the estimates present a stark contrast between the high, fixed expense of traditional television and the flexible options in digital media.
| Type of media channel | Platform / campaign type | Cost |

Approximate timeframes for advertising projects are:
Depending on the platform, top ad agencies typically update creatives every 2-6 weeks, while targeting and bid/keyword adjustments are often reviewed weekly.
Here’s how often other ads are typically updates once a campaign is live:
Generally, updates are prompted by creative fatigue or targeting inefficiencies, i.e., when click-through rates drop, cost per acquisition rises, or conversion rates fall.
