About Catalina AI

Your Partners in the AI Revolution

From Marketing Trenches to AI Frontiers

At Catalina AI, we build intelligent automation systems for sales and marketing. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the potential of AI and the practical needs of a growing business, delivering robust solutions that create a lasting competitive advantage.

Our story is a fusion of deep technical expertise and real-world marketing experience. We began our journey as Catalina Digital, a digital marketing agency where we were in the trenches with our clients every day. We helped DTC e-commerce brands drive traffic and revenue through hands-on SEO and meta advertising campaigns. This experience was invaluable—it gave us a firsthand, unfiltered understanding of the bottlenecks, the manual grind, and the immense untapped opportunities for automation in every sales and marketing workflow.

It was this insight that sparked our evolution. We saw that the real value wasn't just in executing these tasks for our clients, but in building intelligent systems that could automate them entirely. We knew we had the unique combination of skills to do it. This is when Catalina Digital transformed into Catalina AI, a company built not just on theory, but on years of practical, in-the-field experience.
