Above the line. Below the line. There is no line. It's been obliterated by technology which has dramatically transformed the way people shop. A new era requires a new approach. Our approach. Our tools, process and experience make us uniquely able to connect people, brands and retailers.
CatapultRPM was formed in 2012 as a union of two top agencies uniquely qualified to help brands inspire purchase.
Our talented retail experts have hands-on, working knowledge of the biggest key retailers in the country. Senior Retail Strategists located in the cities where retailers are headquartered ensure proper in-store execution and measure success firsthand. Our experts average over ten years experience — the most in the industry. Their skills, contacts, and resources ensure that everything happens in-store exactly as it should.
Our proprietary idea-generating process combines insights from our extensive research and resource network to create a platform that will drive results for the retailer, the consumer, and your brand. We use the Concept Connect® process to create customized, effective strategies that bridge the gap between brand and shopper to turn casual buyers into loyal consumers.
Storehouse Connect® is a wealth of information we leverage to keep our employees and clients up-to-date with what is actually happening in the world of retail marketing. We continuously collect retail co-marketing activity for key retailers & manufacturers in Grocery, Drug, Convenience & Mass channels. Circular ads, online activity, and in-store activity are updated weekly into a browsable data warehouse.
Knowing the importance of social media, we created CatapultRPM RADAR™, our social listening service. With CatapultRPM RADAR, our goal is to harness the power of social media to identify what conversations are taking place, what to pay attention to, participate in and leverage. We achieve this through a scalable, five-step, best-in-class process. This service allows for our clients to feel more informed and in control in their marketing efforts. Do you know what your audience is saying about your brand? You should.
To get the right insights you need to reach out to the right kinds of shoppers and ask the right kinds of questions. So, we created the CatapultRPM Shopper Lab, a proprietary online community of 3,500 members we’ve screened as shoppers, spanning a range of retailers and industries. The community lets us take the pulse of key shopper targets, gauge behaviors, and even drill down to assess attitudes at the retailer level.
Digital Shopper Marketing™ integrates digital media with retail-focused messaging, promotion and design initiatives to meet shopper needs and drive sales, while supporting retailer/manufacturer brand equities. These solutions give our clients an opportunity to establish direct 1:1 conversations with their most-valuable targets while enhancing customer loyalty beyond the typical 17-minute shopping trip. Way beyond.
