What Clients Are Saying

“After 5 years of being in business, I began working with a PR agency. It’s been a fantastic experience and completely changed both my own business perspective, as well as that of professional peers, partners, and clients alike. When COVID hit, Katalyst took the initiative and was critical in pushing out information and alerting our customers to the fact that we were open and had begun to offer specialized products or procedures such as contactless pickup. It had taken me time to where I could afford and trust a PR firm, but I can say definitively that the money has been well spent. The momentum generated has been invaluable, and has assisted with brand management and brand awareness."

“In an industry not always known for it’s sincerity, Katherine brings a breath of fresh air and has managed to make PR personal again. Her genuine interest not only in the success of our PR efforts but in understanding us as people and as clients made working with her a shear pleasure. Having helped us develop from an unknown restaurant to putting us on the map as a dining destination and helping us grow to multiple restaurants, I have no hesitation in recommending Katherine.”

— ARTURO KASSEL, OWNER, WHISKNLADLE HOSPITALITY

“Katalyst PR exhibits an unflagging level of determination and puts forth tireless effort on behalf of their clients, constantly developing new, innovative and exciting ideas that lead to placement in a variety of outlets. Katalyst mixes equal parts passion, drive and responsiveness with courtesy, respect and professionalism. It’s a winning combination that few in San Diego pull off with as much class, grace and consideration as they do and it’s a pleasure when we have the opportunity to collaborate.”

— BRANDON HERNANDEZ, FREELANCE WRITER

“Katalyst PR is a creative and ingenious firm. Their reach of influencers goes beyond those connected with social media, and includes those whose strengths are everyday relationships and business contacts. They blend various communities (creatives + food industry + retail) to bring incredible results and long term beneficial relationships for their clients.”

“There’s a fine line in publicity between promoting your clients and making writers, editors and consumers feel like they’re being sold. I’ve always felt Katherine was being honest with me. She not only knows her industry, she knows the media and market she’s targeting, and positions her clients accordingly.”

— TROY JOHNSON, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE

“Not only do I have the best manager and publicist, but I also have a great friend in Katherine. After working together for over ten years, I can tell you that she has a great ability to navigate the media, offers great guidance and really understands what the best moves are to help me reach my goals. As I have grown my culinary and entertainment career she has helped to keep me centered and focused on the most important opportunities.”
