              catalyst 

We're your trusted, strategic, branding and design partner. A consortium of talented, multidisciplinary 

problem solvers, we turn our creativity into a catalyst to reaching your marketing and branding goals. 

Patrick Florville, as founder and team leader, has over 35 years’ experience, creating effective, time-tested branding and marketing strategies that consistently turn clients' goals into measurable and sustainable results.

 

Patrick’s education initially started in pre-med. Ultimately, winning a full scholarship, he attended The School of Visual Arts in NYC, earning a Bachelor degree in graphic design and communications. He credits his former curriculum -- biology, physics and calculcus -- to have instilled and shaped the problem-solving discipline inherent in his creative process.

 

Our clients are small and large. Local, national and global. They include emerging brands, leading organizations and companies across diverse industries. Financial, Non-profits, Youth & Education, Health & Cosmetics, Telecom, Travel & Entertainment and Publishing. Our emerging brands clients benefit from our extensive experience working with the Fortune 100s. 

 

As a parent of a daughter with a disability, Patrick is a fervent advocate to causes and programs which strengthen and enrich the lives of differently abled individuals. Professionally, he brings that passion and expertise in helping improve customer service for consumers with disabilities. And promote, elevate and empower the disability market segment within corporations.
