About Catapult
From our base in the centre of the Ipswich docklands regeneration, Catapult dedicates itself to propelling clients' businesses forward through being steadfastly customer‑focused.
Founded on the passion, dedication and experience of directors Emma Dow and Peter Jenkins, we believe our combination of high‑quality creativity, precise targeting and realistic pricing structure enables us to provide hard‑hitting solutions that bring success.
Core disciplines
Design
We've built our reputation on inventive, creative design for print. Married with intelligent targeting, our fresh ideas have been applied to everything from flyers to folders, brochures to packaging, and all points in between. Our print management service helps to ensure that all production issues are accounted for and nasty surprises prevented.
Advertising
Catapult's imaginative, structured campaigns have shouted about major company launches. They've promoted products, services and events, and they've reinforced corporate values and market presence. Our ideas and messages are devised, pulled apart and honed to work as hard as possible to produce genuine, quantifiable results.
Corporate identities & branding
The purest form of design. Distilling personalities, commodities and values into a single graphic can be the most enigmatic, but rewarding design challenge. The results are applied across stationery and other media with care and consistency.
Digital media
We can help you harness new technology with complete web solutions. Sophisticated back-end technology, including e-commerce and online booking, is supported by an internet marketing service with search engine positioning that will help maximise both hits and profitability.
Packaging
Our dynamic packaging has found its way onto the shelves of some of the biggest names in retail. And once there, they've leapt off them. We've created packs that look great and sell hard for both named brands and own labels.
Point of sale & exhibitions
With POS and exhibition stands that have gone on to sell as far afield as North America, we produce graphics that combine pulling power with clarity, and technology with practicality.
PR & marketing
Our in-house public relations and marketing wing enables us to offer a fully rounded consultancy service. See the dedicated section in the main menu for further details of the extensive ways in which we can support you and help you develop your business.
Photography
We have built excellent, close relationships with photographers over the years giving us total confidence in their ability to interpret our briefs. That doesn't stop us from art directing though.
Copywriting
The ability to find the right words to articulate your message is a critical asset in your communications. Catapult can help you present your strengths both clearly and creatively to engage and stimulate.

Catapult & Stratton PR Win Prestigious Award
The Haven Gateway brochure, ‘Careers in Construction – Get the Bigger Picture’ has been recognised by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations at its East Anglia Pride Awards 2008. A Gold Award was won under the category ‘Best Use of Photography or Design’. The brochure was also short listed as a finalist for the ‘Best Publication’ category.
Catapult The Answer For SCC
Catapult recently won the contract to design the website for ANSWER (A North Sea Way to Energy-efficient Regions), an ambitious new initiative led by Suffolk County Council, with partners in the UK, Belgium, Germany and Norway. The project involves regional leaders in the response to climate change in a series of innovative activities designed to raise awareness and promote energy efficiency.
Say Hello To Mat
Catapult is pretty darn chuffed to welcome Mat to the team. His originality, 9 years' experience and unfailing willingness have already proved his timely acquisition to be the coup we suspected when we snapped him up. What he doesn't bring with him is hair, but then we're getting pretty used to that at Catapult. Previous clients trusted to Mat include Greene King, e-on, National Express, ITFC, Higgins Homes, Crest Homes and City Living Developments.
Stuff That's Keeping Us Busy
Other new projects in the Catapult world include:
NHS website: Children & Young People's Healthy Ambitions Resource Site – a comprehensive healthy living community website for families, teenagers and children in Suffolk.
City Living Developments:
Dynamic signage for both their new quayside offices and the waterfront apartment development.

Testimonials
Stuart Boon:
Currencies Direct
“When we select any partner we need to be sure they will be an extension of our own organisation, not just a supplier. Catapult took the time to listen and learn, but were not afraid to challenge our own thoughts. We have an aggressive agenda that's not always documented in detail, but the design team responds time after time with great creative, on time and without fuss. This makes our testing time and time to market that bit quicker which is a real bonus.”
Richard Morton:
Haven Gateway Partnership
“A big thank you from the Harwich team for all your hard work in producing a fantastic design for the Cruise Shipping Miami exhibition. As always, your team's attention to detail made sure that you created a professional looking stand that highlighted both the branding of Harwich and a sense of the quality of place we were promoting. Once again, many thanks and we look forward to working with you again in the future.”
Jo Abbott:

“From the word go, our business was really understood. They have an excellent grasp of what we want to achieve, and the work they do for us always communicates our message exactly the way we want it.”
Godfrey Spanner:
Onslow Suffolk Ltd
“I was very impressed with their input into ‘Suffolk for SnOasis’ campaign and feel that the positive outcome achieved with Mid Suffolk Council owes much to the enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the team.”
Paul Howlett:
Haven Gateway Partnership
“Cutting through the PR fluff, Sue and the team deliver a no-nonsense, efficient and tenacious service that achieves results. Their work around our construction initiatives project has led to more profile than I thought possible from a range of well written case studies, brochures, press releases and events.”
