Its about page says Alex Murray founded the business in Christchurch in 2023 after seven years in marketing roles in New Zealand and the UK, including more than four years freelancing. The team section says the agency is based in Christchurch and Auckland.
Named team members are Alex Murray as director and strategy lead, Matt Caldwell as SEO and Google Ads lead, and two contractors covering Meta ads and creative direction. Healthcare is one of several client sectors, alongside education, automotive and trades.
The agency focuses on Google Ads, SEO and AI SEO. Its Google Ads package includes campaign management, conversion tracking, a custom landing page and monthly reporting. The SEO and AI SEO package covers 20 to 40 focus keywords, on-page work, link building, quarterly audits and monthly reporting that includes AI visibility. It also runs Meta ads and builds websites, landing pages and CRM integrations as separate projects.
Catalyst lists Google Partner, Meta Business Partner and Shopify Plus credentials and says it is an UpstreamNZ approved supplier.
The healthcare evidence is a detailed case study for Refine Health, a physiotherapy business with clinics in Newmarket and St Heliers in Auckland.
