In the beginning, there was a girl who loved to write stories. Her local library in Blackpool rewarded such skills in storytelling with awards and recognition, which she loved. She wanted to spread the joy that recognition brings. She wanted to make headlines in the media. She was diligent enough to meet every deadline. She was clever enough to create stories that stood out from all the others.

The ideas underpinning Catapult’s PR and content marketing storytelling and customer conversations have been ingenious, stupendously creative and attention-grabbing. They have engaged audiences for more than two decades. Clients of all shapes and sizes, from London to Northumberland, demand Catapult’s storytelling prowess.

Catapult PR opened its doors in March 1998, from its first office at the quaint Marsh Mill Village in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire. We stayed there for more or less a decade, before moving to offices in Bispham, near Blackpool. We then relocated to Poulton-le-Fylde in 2011/12, before making our last move, to Metro House in Blackpool, close to the M55. This has been our home since May 2018.

Creativity is undoubtedly embedded in our DNA. It’s our hallmark, it’s what breathes life into our campaigns and content, it’s our differentiator as a Lancashire PR agency and it’s the reason why we attract clients from all over the UK and from Europe too. Clients come to us for our expertise and through word-of-mouth recommendation in over 75% of cases. We are not your typical regional PR agency and regularly attract London-based clients.

In 2018, we won the national CIPR Excellence Award for the ‘Best Travel, Leisure and Tourism PR Campaign’ in the country, suggesting we know a thing or two about this type of public relations. The Excellence Awards are regarded as the ultimate accolade in our sector, so we are very proud.
