Who Typically Hires Chris as a Marketing Consultant

Marketing managers and CMOs who need a senior strategic resource for a specific project, campaign or growth phase, without the cost and process of hiring a full-time team member.

Founders and startup teams who need a fractional head of marketing to build the strategy, set up the systems and establish the team before a full-time hire makes sense.

Agencies who need a senior freelance resource to bolster a pitch, manage overflow or bring in specialist platform expertise for a specific client.

Brands in transition; rebranding, launching a new product, entering a new market, or rebuilding a social media presence that has lost its way.

If any of these sound like your situation, the next step is a conversation.

What Brands Say About Working With Chris

  • “We've been performing at some of Australia's biggest venues for over a decade, but our social media never reflected what we were actually delivering on the night. Catalyst Communications changed that. Since working together, our Instagram has grown significantly, our TikTok has taken off and — most importantly — we're seeing people come to our enquiry page directly from our social content. Chris understood our world quickly and translated it into content that actually performs. If you're a brand in the events or entertainment space wondering whether social media is worth the investment, the answer is yes — and Catalyst is who you want doing it. The best in the business!”

    — Louis, The Showtime Crew

  • "We loved working with Chris to help us execute our campaign. A professional team player that delivers above on his promise."

    — Agency Partner

  • "Chris has been amazing to work with. We've been partnering with him for over 10 years and he always answers even the smallest of questions we have. We're thrilled with the outcome."
