Econsultancy Top 100 Agency

We’re proud to announce that we feature in Econsultancy’s Top 100 Digital Agencies Report.

The Econsultancy Top 100 report is an independent overview of the most significant digital agency players in the UK. The report lists the top 100 Digital Marketing, Design and Build, Technical and Creative Agencies ranked based on their total UK fee income from digital marketing.

Quick stats at-a-glance;

  • 23rd in agencies a decade old

  • 53rd in independently owned agencies

  • 57th in "full service and marketing” agencies

  • 98th of all UK digital agencies on the list

Founder and Managing Director Jonathan Smith commented; "All credit to the team for our debut on the Top 100 list. We're significantly punching above our weight as an agency of around 30 people to be featured alongside big consultancies Accenture Interactive, SapientRazorfish and IBM, and large digital shops like DigitasLBi, AKQA and Zone.

We think of ourselves as small but perfectly formed, and Econsultancy bill the list as 'the definitive listing of the UK's largest digital agencies'. With Accenture Interactive in the top spot with £284,660,000 of UK fee income, it's little surprise Catch comes in at #98 overall!

With so much incredible work in the pipeline, multiple DADI nominations, and significant pitch wins recently with Worldpay and Watford FC, I’m looking forwards to the coming year with our fantastic team".

DADIs - Best Use of VR nomination

We're thrilled to announce that our Fantasy Flight VR experience for Thomas Cook Airlines has been nominated for Best Use of VR in the 2016 DADI awards. We are up against some stiff competition with campaigns for Google, Virgin and Reebok, so let's get our game faces on and see what happens on awards night, Oct 19th!

Thomas Cook Airlines' engaged Catch as their social agency of record, and in March 2016 we launched a new activation for them, "Fantasy Flight". It brings to life 360-degree exploration that lets you try before you fly.

Best experienced on mobile devices via the YouTube app, viewers change their perspective of Thomas Cook Airlines’ refurbished premium and economy class cabins in real-time by moving their device around. The video features real pilots and cabin crew going about their normal duties while the cabin comes to life with characters connected to three new routes launching 2016.

If the user explores thoroughly they can find clues to three of the airline’s newest destinations which could win them a £3,000 Los Angeles holiday.

“We’ve used recently-developed 360-degree video technology to open the doors of our great new cabins on our Airbus A330 fleet.”

Tom Morely, Senior Marketing Manager Thomas Cook Airlines

Founding Partner of Catch, Jonathan Smith, said: “2016 is set to be Virtual Reality’s breakout year. This new technology is perfectly placed to highlight Thomas Cook Airlines’ new routes and high-end A330 aircraft. We used three GoPro cameras assembled to capture an entire spherical perspective of the cabin scene, creating an innovative experience. We had a lot of fun with a 50+ strong crew of actors, airline staff and impersonators to bring the new destinations into the cabin, as well as providing clues which viewers can find to enter a competition to win a holiday to LA.”

Senior Marketing Manager for Thomas Cook Airlines, Tom Morey, said: “We’ve used recently-developed 360-degree video technology to open the doors of our great new cabins on our Airbus A330 fleet."

“By summer this year, we’ll be operating seven of these long haul aircraft on direct flights from Manchester to Miami, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Orlando and Las Vegas. Customers don’t have to wait and see how it looks, they can find out right now by interacting with these amazing videos.”
