We're a "Top 100" agency

We're proud to announce that we've made it into the top 100 of The Drum’s annual Independent Agencies Census.

We've earned our 76th spot through winning some fantastic clients (some we can talk about, some we can't), growing our UX and strategy offering while creating exciting platforms for some of the UK's best known brands.

Jonathan Smith, Founder & Managing Director at Catch, said; "This is our 3rd time in recent years in a UK Top 100 list, and we couldn't be happier at this recognition for a great team effort. Being in The Drum’s annual census makes it all the more special as we're listed against other independent, owner-managed, agencies which we respect and admire"

The annual Independent Agencies Census is the most comprehensive study of its kind on UK marcomms firms. The Drum crunch two years’ worth of financial figures from agencies across the country to compare their performance on a range of financial metrics including turnover, turnover per head and gross profit.

Cameron Clarke, Deputy Editor at The Drum, said; “The Census is the definitive barometer of agencies' financial performance and it was pleasing to see an increase in agencies participating in our rigorous research process this year".

A new generation of students

This week we launched the first phase of the brand new University of Salford website.

The website is part of a large digital transformation project currently being undertaken by the University of Salford, with Catch working as their digital partner to help transform their public facing website to meet the needs of a new generation of students.

In this first phase a brand new course finder to improve the user experience for current and prospective students finding out about the University’s offering.

This project presented the ideal opportunity to audit content and improve the user experience across the site. With so many facets of the University managing disparate sections of the site, thousands of unique pages had been created using multiple content management systems and microsites.

The previous site was very organisation-centric so the new site presented the chance to move to a more user-centred experience. In order to gather requirements from both the University’s internal stakeholders and the students’ perspective, a huge amount of user research was undertaken to inform the UX, including interviews and workshops. We also collected feedback from the previous site to highlight areas of improvement, in addition to new feature requests and suggestions.

This MVP site launch is just beginning and we’ll continue to deliver updates throughout 2019 against our roadmap, with exciting new features, always based on our users’ feedback.
