(Minneapolis, MN – September 2025) – The launch of Elevation Point, the growth accelerator and minority investor in registered investment advisors, has earned international recognition with a Gold Summit Creative Award. The honor went to cat&tonic, the Minneapolis-based agency that built Elevation Point’s brand, website, and go-to-market presence.
Developed in just three months, the project established Elevation Point’s market presence with a clear identity, digital strategy, and rapid traction among financial advisors. “Elevation Point wanted to launch quickly with both credibility and distinction in a competitive industry,” said Megan Devine, Owner and Lead Strategist at cat&tonic. “This award validates how smart strategy and creative execution can drive real business impact.”
The Summit Creative Award, now in its 30th year, is an international competition that recognizes outstanding creative work by small and mid-sized agencies. Entries are blind-judged by a panel of experts across five continents, with thousands of submissions from more than 25 countries.
