OUR STORY

Founded in 2010, Katalyst has offices in San Diego and Santa Barbara and provides public relations, social media, digital marketing and brand strategy to hospitality, travel, arts, real estate and CPG clients. We work with travel, culinary, and lifestyle clients who share our belief that authentic connection builds community and drives everything worthwhile.

DEPTH OVER VOLUME.

From our team to our clients to the media contacts we've cultivated over years, everyone here chooses to be part of work that resonates. Katalyst isn't about quick publicity or vanity metrics. We're about creating connections that strengthen culture and improve how brands and people engage with each other.

INTENTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS. 

Lasting connections take time and care. Each story we craft, each relationship we build, each party we plan and moment we create is designed to strengthen the bond between a brand and the communities it truly aligns with. So whether you're launching or expanding, we know that growth isn't about being everything to everyone. By deeply understanding who you serve, our approach ensures your message reaches the people who matter most.

BRANDS WE BELIEVE IN.

We’re picky and choose carefully. We only work with brands we're excited about and can stand proudly behind. This allows us to tell authentic stories, land meaningful press coverage, send coveted invites, and execute well-attended events.
