Strategy.
Design. Shipped.
A boutique creative consultancy for teams without a full creative bench. We do the thinking, make the work, and ship the deliverables — without the agency overhead.
The thinking and the doing, in one place.
We help teams turn messy ideas into clear strategy, polished creative, and ready-to-use materials. Senior-level judgment, design taste, executional firepower — without the agency overhead.
You get one principal across the work, not a junior team running the file.
Founders
You're running the company and the brand. Catana takes the brand off your plate.
Small businesses
You have a team, but no one whose full-time job is brand. We become that person, on call.
Lean marketing teams
You have headcount but not bandwidth. We extend the team without expanding it.
Four disciplines.
One team.
We engage on a single discipline or run the whole stack. Most engagements pair strategy with one or two execution tracks — sized to the project, not the retainer.
Brand Strategy
Positioning, naming, messaging, voice. We align the team on what the brand stands for before we touch a single visual.
Creative Direction
The taste layer. We art-direct campaigns, photo + video shoots, and brand systems so everything ladders to one coherent point of view.
Design
Identity systems, websites, packaging, decks, social. Senior-led from sketch to final file.
Marketing Production
The deliverables your team actually needs in their inbox. Templates, source files, prepress, handoff. The work is only done when it ships.
A cleaner way
from idea
to done.
No discovery gauntlets. No 40-page brand bibles no one reads. Four phases, scoped to the work, with one principal across all of it.
Discover
A focused intake. We listen to the team, audit what exists, and define the real problem worth solving.
Direct
Strategy and creative direction land together. You leave this phase with a clear point of view, not a deck of options.
Design
We make the work — identity, web, packaging, campaigns — in tight loops with you, not over an inbox.
Deliver
Final files, templates, and a handoff your team can actually use. We stay on retainer if you want a creative partner on call.
Recent work.
A selected slice of recent client work — strategy, creative direction, and production across a major spirits portfolio.
Cat built the bridge between strategy and execution. The whole team uses it now — across brands, agencies, and budgets.
