cat&tonic

Hello neighbor. We’re cat&tonic. We’re a team of strategists and creatives with an office just up the road in the North Loop. We exist to help organizations like yours find and start conversations with the people you want to talk to. You could call it marketing, branding, advertising, or promotion. It doesn’t matter what you call it. It matters how you do it.

Here’s our approach: We find the values and motivators of your audience—people looking to further their education, as well as those who are looking for something new but aren't sure how to get there or even what it looks like. Because it’s not just other universities you’re competing with. It’s inertia, apathy, and information overload. By connecting with them on an emotional level, you’ll have a much better chance of getting their attention and starting a meaningful conversation.

In the 2+ decades since we opened our doors, we’ve partnered with your fellow colleagues at CLA, TLI, and HJSMC on multiple successful branding, marketing, and advertising initiatives. We've also done work for other continuing education organizations, including NWHSU and PLUS.

Our services include marketing strategy, brand voice, brand positioning, brand refresh, brand overhaul, marketing automation, creative, design, copywriting, content planning, content creation, website design, website development, email marketing, digital display advertising, retargeting, social media strategy, video production, SEO, and pay-per-click advertising.
