Faiz Hanif
Faiz leads growth strategy at CCC. He learns how each client's business actually wins work, then builds the plan to help it win more.

Faiz Hanif is CEO and co-founder of Catalyst Creatives Co. He studied marketing and entrepreneurship at Indiana University, and started CCC with Mahd during his final year there.
He and Mahd started CCC after hearing owner after owner describe paying a lot for marketing and getting very poor service, or none at all. Faiz saw the problem in the delivery, not the tools.
That's why he keeps CCC small on purpose. We never take on more than 15 clients at a time, and we don't go after new ones until current clients are well served.

- Whether we're the right fit right now
Small on purpose.
- 01
Never more than 15 clients
We cap our client list at 15. Until we can say we've nailed service delivery for a client, we don't go after more.
- 02
No one on more than 2 clients
Faiz and Mahd lead a team of eight people on client work. Nobody on it works on more than two clients at a time, so your work never waits in a long queue.
- 03
We learn your business first
It starts with a discovery meeting. After you sign, a detailed onboarding questionnaire, designed and vetted by market leaders, maps how you run, your gaps, your strengths and what makes your people different. Then we build a plan to beat the competitors in your area.
- 04
Services added one at a time
We didn't launch with nine services. Each one was added after Mahd researched what works best and how to set it up properly.
