You're interested in seeing what our oldest news article is (SEO nerd?)

You'll notice that the oldest news article on this website (apart from the one you're reading, which was actually written in October 2018) is from July 2014. But wait.... Catch was founded in 2007 right? That's right, but when we updated our website in October 2018 we made the decision not to migrate any news articles older than July 2014. Having analysed our SEO ranking factors we were confident that the vast majority of our SERPs is gained from posts between July 2014 and today (post-launch update: we were right!).

Interested about Catch's history?

Catch was founded by Jonathan Smith in 2007, and our first offices were on Archer Street in what was then a very seedy part of Soho, London. To learn more about the history of Catch, you can read an interview with Jonathan.
