Who's behind this

Hi, I'm Bryan.

I run CatmanStudios Marketing solo, out of Knoxville. No account manager, no strategist, no relay chain between you and the person doing the work.

“You're emailing me, not opening a ticket.”
The background

How I got here

I've spent 25 years in technology. A dozen in IT, running servers and desktops and answering the phone when things went sideways. Since then, I've been building websites, mostly ecommerce, where traffic and user engagement are critical.

My background is development, not marketing, but nearly all of that work was on sites where revenue was the scoreboard. Visibility, traffic, and engagement were what put points on it, and I spent a long time learning which efforts actually moved them and which just filled up a report. The practical upside for you is that I automate the tedious parts myself.

That's not marketing-speak either. I've built a form that generates engineering drawings from customer input, automated order notifications from vendor emails, and a product-selector quiz that walks customers to the right choice. If your lead follow-up or booking flow needs actual logic behind it, that's exactly the kind of stuff I build.

That's also why the pricing looks the way it does. There's no office to fund, no account manager between you and the work, no salesperson taking a cut. You're hiring me, and I'm the one who shows up.

None of this is free of trade-offs. One person means one person's bandwidth, and there are weeks I'm slower than a five-person team would be. What you get instead is that the person who wrote the plan is the same one answering your email at 9pm when you're wondering if it's working. I'd rather be honest about that than promise you'll never notice I'm solo.
