Testimonials
Marriott International, Inc.
“CatchOn is a team who truly cares about the client and their brands. Their understanding of brands allows them to think through brand positioning, from strategy to execution. In particular, given their understanding of trends in the hospitality, travel, design and F&B fields, they have been able to offer us constructive and relevant insights as we strategize to drive awareness and preference for our hotels in Asia. The team has fronted numerous brand positioning workshops which has really helped us define unique, compelling positioning statements for our hotels and formed the basis of our PR and marketing communications strategies. The team has also handled a few of our brand PR campaigns for the Asia Pacific region including outreach to the China market.”

Unafraid to point out shaky direction or strategy, the agency acts in true partnership with clients to develop new approaches and steer them towards greater success. Whether a brand launch or repositioning, crisis situation or new competitor threat, CatchOn provides advice with insight, solution-oriented strategy, and execution with finesse.”

CatchOn very kindly held our hand and guided us through the plans. They made some BIG promises and again I was amazed as I watched them make it all a reality. They are well connected and are able to deliver on what they say. Most importantly, they worked with us strategically and created a sensible and effective plan to make our initial launch and ongoing PR campaign a huge success.”

“CatchOn proved to be an excellent partner in every respect. The agency managed both the pre and post-event PR campaign, as well as managing the international press at the events themselves, with huge professionalism and efficiency. The media coverage – pre and post event – has also outweighed last year’s results several times over. CatchOn has an international outlook but attention to detail, efficient and well-structured reporting systems and the ability to innovate and react quickly.”
