Catalyst Marketing Agency has appointed Michael Nelson as its next Head of Growth, marking a significant step in the organization's ten-year strategic plan. Nelson brings over a decade of revenue operations leadership across communications, technology, startup, and nonprofit sectors to his new role. In his position, Nelson will work across all six of Catalyst's U.S. offices to identify growth opportunities including client acquisition and strategic partnerships. He will also play a key role in shaping the agency's embedded offering, which provides end-to-end marketing support for teams needing full-stack marketing department capabilities without the overhead costs.
Catalyst's President, Rion Haber, emphasized Nelson's qualifications for the role, stating that his track record of building scalable revenue strategies makes him the ideal leader for the agency's next growth phase. Haber noted that Nelson's passion for supporting fast-growing teams directly aligns with Catalyst's mission to become the most recognized agency partner for organizations bridging capability gaps in today's complex marketing ecosystem. Nelson's career has focused on developing partnerships that amplify growth, with previous experience working with major brands including Microsoft, Goodwill, and Mondavi Wines as Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for an enterprise loyalty and customer retention platform.
Most recently, Nelson led sales and account management at Engage Raise, a donor platform for public affairs professionals. His deep understanding of growth-stage organizations is expected to not only solidify Catalyst's reputation as a leader in marketing services but also drive stronger outcomes for its clients. Nelson expressed that Catalyst's approach resonated with him because it addresses one of the most common challenges facing growing teams: delivering seamless omnichannel messaging that modern audiences expect without the commitment of building large in-house teams. He noted that this capability will become increasingly relevant as artificial intelligence continues to fundamentally transform business operations.
The appointment comes as Catalyst Marketing Agency continues its leadership in the communications space, supporting some of the world's fastest-growing organizations since its founding in 2007. The agency's integrated marketing solution is designed specifically to empower marketing leaders by providing comprehensive communications team capabilities while minimizing overhead expenses.
