Hey there, I’m Cat Damare
The Person Behind the Riot
I've spent nearly a decade in corporate event design and brand strategy. I've worked with DMCs, non-profits, defense contractors, and small businesses across industries. I've sat in the rooms where big decisions get made and helped organizations show up in ways that actually land.
But the experience that changed everything wasn't a client project. It was my own.
What I actually do differently.
I don't hand you a deck and disappear. I'm in the room with you -- in real time, in front of you -- for every session. You leave with something you can actually use.
I'm also obsessed with staying ahead of every tool and technology available to my clients. AI isn't a buzzword in my world. It's a practical advantage I bring to every engagement -- and something I'm now teaching small business owners to use for themselves.
My clients don't just get deliverables. They get results.
Why "intentionally different"?
Because generic is expensive. A brand that looks like everyone else, sounds like everyone else, and blends into the noise isn't just forgettable -- it's costing you real business.
Petite Riot exists for the founders who are done with dusty marketing plans and off-the-shelf strategies. The ones who are ready to build something that actually looks and sounds like them -- and works as hard as they do.
That's the whole thing. That's why I’m here.
I've been where you are.
During the pandemic, my husband Mikey and I co-founded Chicory Productions, a production company we built from scratch in one of the hardest possible moments to start anything. I figured out the brand, the pitch, the operations, and the client relationships, All of it in real time with no roadmap and no margin for error.
It was hard. It was clarifying. And it taught me more about what small business owners actually need than any corporate engagement ever could.
Because here's what I learned firsthand: having great work isn't enough. You need a brand that communicates that work clearly. A strategy that gets you in front of the right people. A story that makes someone choose you before they've even met you.
That's the gap Petite Riot exists to close.
So, are you ready to build something that works?
No forms, no fuss.
Just a conversation about where you are and what you're building.
