As Howie Mandel put it: “Catapult Entertainment has been CATAPULTED”!
Millions of people were amazed by the company and fell in love with our network television presentations on the number 1 hit show America’s Got Talent. Howard Stern bowed to us and called us a “million dollar act”, Heidi Klum still has a crush on us and Mel B wanted our bodies!
Catapult has been touring worldwide ever since. We have performed live for the royal family in Saudi Arabia, wowed audiences in Geneva, Stockholm, Lagos Nigeria, Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, Vienna and more.
Many major corporations have hired Catapult to represent their brand and tell their story including Bridgestone Tires, Girl Scouts USA, John Deere Tractor, Project Hope, YMCA, Pfizer Pharmaceutical, and many more.
Television and film credits include four network appearances on America’s Got Talent, several films for internet and appearances by the company’s director, Adam Battelstein, on Good Morning America, The Today show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and the 2007 Academy Awards.
