Featured Project - Catalyst Marketing Communications

Featured Project
Childcare Learning Centers (CLC) is an organization that has been serving families in the Fairfield County
community since 1902. The Center provides innovative, high-quality and affordable early childhood education
programs for children and comprehensive family support services, including parenting education. It is
recognized as the third largest pre-K program in Connecticut and the second largest in Fairfield County.
CLC hired Catalyst to help publicize the organization’s newly hired CEO. This provided the opportunity to not
only promote the CEO’s diverse experience and goals for the organization, but also to reinforce the strength
of the organization and its many accomplishments. Catalyst stepped in and helped review all announcement
preparations and materials. Specifically, the public relations plan included the development and distribution of
a press release, creation of talking points and a CLC fact sheet, as well as an aggressive media relations effort to
secure placements and interviews with the new CEO.
Overall, CLC was extremely pleased with the coverage. Catalyst’s effort yielded:
• Great coverage from local media outlets with placements secured in all major local publications including:
Connecticut Post, Danbury News-Times, Greenwich Time, The (Stamford) Advocate, Fairfield County Business
Journal, Greenwich Post, The Stamford Times and Stamford Daily Voice.
• An in-depth Q&A with The Advocate that ran on the front page of the Sunday “Business” section.
• Placements that were estimated to have made more than 400,000 impressions and worth over $47,000 in
corresponding advertising value.
