Read all our Google reviews ↗“Have been using Catalyst for a few years now, great to work with. Have monthly site performance, updates and SEO reports. Been one of the best business relationships that i’ve made. Nothing negative to say, will use for quite some time to come.”
“We’ve been working with Catalyst for the last year and have been consistently impressed. They’re strategic, responsive, and bring great energy to everything they do. Chris has a great manner—professional, commercial, organised and able to explain the analytical side in plain English. It’s clear they genuinely care about delivering results. Highly recommend.”
“We have been working with Chris at Catalyst for 1 year now, and I have waited until now to post a review to see what a difference they are able to make to The Implant Centre.
Chris and his team are exceptional, highly recommended, a very fair price point and have shown very good results. Our website traffic is beyond anything we have had before, leading to increased patient numbers.
I had expected the focus to be just on getting more hits on the website, but they really care about what the patients will then read and see on the site, and are helping do a much deeper level with writing blogs and even our interaction with other dental practices.
Being 'spoon-fed' this allows us to focus on our own work - in the past we have always been asked to write everything which can be a huge barrier.
He is very good at not 'pushing' too many ways to just spend more and more money on this as well.
Highly recommended to say the least!
Thank you Chris and your team.”
“It's been fantastic working with Chris and his Team from Catalyst Marketing. They've really helped our business grow and have boosted our online presence much more than we could have hoped.
I would highly recommend.”
“Really pleased with the work Catalyst did! The team are extremely friendly and accommodating, whether you're in Brighton or further afield. Couldn't recommend them enough :)”
“Catalyst have been carrying out my SEO work now for 6 months and the results have been great. There has been a noticeable increase in traffic to my website and enquiries which have come through web searches.
We are only a small organisation but Chris was able to cater the services to meet our budgets and provide great value.
I would highly recommend.”
“Working with Catalyst has made a real difference to our online visibility. Their approach to SEO has helped us climb the rankings for key search terms in our local areas, and we’re seeing more traffic coming through as a result. They’ve also been easy to work with and a real asset to our marketing efforts.”
“Great knowledge of marketing. Supportive team. Quick to resolve issues. 👍”
“Was a pleasure working with Chris and team for the Jealous Sweets campaign.”
“Top quality SEO for my removals company. Will definitely recommend to friends!”

Read our marketing FAQsLastToLeave was founded by Chris Turnbull, who started out in agency marketing over 12 years ago and set up his own agency to make marketing properly effective with none of the fuss. Chris still works in the business every day.
Yes. LastToLeave was previously called Catalyst. The agency is still based in Brighton. Many of our Google reviews were written before the name changed, which is why some of them mention Catalyst.
LastToLeave is based in Brighton, Sussex, in the United Kingdom. We work with multi-location service businesses across the UK. You can call us on 01273 058535 or email hello@lasttoleave.co.uk.
LastToLeave runs strategy, performance marketing and clarity as one plan. Strategy covers roadmaps, tracking, budgets and your ideal customer profile (ICP), the type of customer worth winning most. Performance covers SEO, Google Ads, email, content, CRO and AI search. CRO means turning more website visitors into enquiries. AI search, also called LLM search, means getting tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews to recommend your business.
LastToLeave works best with established, owner-led service businesses with more than one location that want to become regionally recognised. You want long-term growth and a partner accountable for results. We are not the right fit for early-stage brands, anyone after overnight wins, or businesses that want a one-size-fits-all agency.
You get a dedicated account manager as your single point of contact. We agree the KPIs your business is judged on, report every month, review progress every quarter and plan 12 months ahead with a roadmap. If you have a sales team, we work with them too, so marketing and sales chase the same goals.
The discovery call is free, with no pitch deck and no obligation. We look at where your business is now and where you want it to be. Then we tell you straight whether LastToLeave is the right fit. If it is, the next step is a growth plan built around your market.
