Consulting Catalyst Consulting

We’re here to assist with your Catholic initiative.

Strategy and Business Plan Assessment
Catalyst Consulting will assess your business plan to maximize your venture’s impact and potential. If you have yet to develop your business plan, we will help hone your team’s ideas, objectives, and desired KPIs, while offering practical counsel that will guide your business plan creation.
In our advisory role, we can also serve your executive team, providing coaching and mentoring as needed.
Product-Market Fit
To achieve sustainable growth, your organization needs clear and objective counsel regarding which of your ideas or products will, or will not, succeed. This is Catalyst Consulting’s specialty. We have helped create more than 500 products and services for Catholic ventures over the past 30 years, resulting in product and service sales totaling more than $225 million. We know how to identify and modify ideas B2C and B2B buyers and clients want and need—and which ideas to avoid.
Working with your team, we will collaboratively identify and help launch the right products and ideas … to the right markets … at the right time.
_{NOTE: Publishing projects cannot be considered at this time.}
Marketing
As the adage goes, a great product or idea unknown to the world will die on the vine. Marketing is a Catalyst Consulting core competency.
Products under Matthew Pinto’s direction have reached some of the highest levels of success and penetration in the last 50 years of Catholic marketing in the United States and beyond. We welcome the opportunity to help your company’s or ministry’s best products and ideas reach deep into the Catholic ecosystem.
Branding and Packaging
Your story is not complete until it comes to life visually and texturally. Catalyst Consulting will help get you there, guiding you toward the decisions that strengthen your brand identity, so that you can develop compelling packaging and execute effective marketing strategies.
We’ll help you hone your brand’s core elements—mission, vision, values, persona, positioning—highlighting your who, why, and how. Working with you, we’ll craft responsive messaging and finesse your language, voice, and tone in a manner that can be applied seamlessly to any communication channel.
Business Development
Drawing upon our deep roots in the Catholic ecosystem, we’ll work closely with you and your leadership team to identify new opportunities, foster relationships, and create actionable plans that support long-term growth.
Whether growth for you means expanding into new markets or lead generation through introductions to other catalysts, we’ll formulate a strategy suited to your business and aspirations, and we’ll open to you our network built over three decades.
Business Operations
When it comes to the bottom line, efficiency is key. Together, we’ll review and assess processes, systems, resources, and workflows, keeping the care and dignity of your staff top of mind. Examining questions related to business operations, we help your organization gain traction and optimize for success.
Through careful cost-benefit analysis, we’ll identify areas to increase investment, areas where spending can be reduced, and opportunities for revenue diversification.
