About Catchings Creative
Raisedon themat.
Cody Catchings started training Taekwondo at four years old and grew up in his family's martial arts school. Today he helps schools across the US fill their classes.
Based in Oklahoma City. Working with schools nationwide.
A martial artist who learned marketing
Most agencies will work with anyone who pays them. Catchings Creative was built inside a martial arts school.
Cody grew up on the mat and behind the front desk, so he understands what makes or breaks a school: trial classes that turn into enrollments, the busy seasons, belt tests, and the parents who make the decisions. That's the experience behind every website, campaign, and strategy call.
No customer service reps. No wannabe entrepreneurs trying to take your money. When you're in a meeting, you're talking to the person who builds your marketing, and who's going to explain it and help your school.
