Customer story: How Catapult 26 scaled brand consistency across teams
See how Catapult 26 centralized brand files, sped up approvals, and gave partners one reliable destination for current assets and guidance.
Key takeaways
- Catapult 26 replaced scattered folders and stale docs with one shared brand hub.
- A single URL for partners reduced version mismatch and repetitive support requests.
- Documented workflows made campaign launches faster and approvals more predictable.
Catapult 26 was moving fast, but its brand operations were fragmented. Internal teams and external partners were pulling logos, color values, and messaging from different places. The result was familiar: duplicate assets, avoidable revisions, and launch delays. This customer story explains how they rebuilt their process around a single source of truth.
The challenge
- Brand assets lived across shared drives, chat threads, and individual desktop folders.
- Agencies regularly requested "latest" files because ownership was unclear.
- Design and marketing teams spent review cycles correcting preventable off-brand outputs.
What Catapult 26 changed
- Created one public-facing brand destination for approved logos, color systems, and typography usage.
- Moved private workflow notes into controlled sections so internal guidance stayed accessible without exposing sensitive material.
- Standardized handoff links by routing every campaign kickoff to the same Brand Vitals URL.
Operational outcomes
Within the first rollout period, Catapult 26 reported fewer duplicate-file questions and noticeably faster design approvals. Teams no longer debated which logo file or palette was current. Stakeholders reviewed against the same live reference, which shortened feedback loops and reduced rework.
Customer insight: "Giving everyone the same reference point changed our speed. We stopped hunting for assets and started shipping campaigns."
How to apply this to your team
- Publish a single hub URL and make it mandatory in every brief template.
- Define which sections are public versus private before inviting partners.
- Review your hub monthly to archive outdated assets and refresh guidance.
