“Catywampus” is a southern colloquialism that means “off-kilter” or “unexpected.” It’s a state of mind that influences every marketing project we work on, whether online or in the real world. Our projects usually include some combination of the following: Research, strategy, interface design, identity design, packaging, web development, analysis, and beer. Those little colored squares below should give you a pretty good idea of what we do.

In case you were wondering, Catywampus is not an advertising agency. We’re a small shop founded by Doug Cholewa, who has been in the interactive/creative business since 1996. That kinda makes him an elder statesman in web years, although he doesn’t have one of those majestic hats. Maybe you should buy him one.
