Independent communications and PR agency Katch International has revealed that its current portfolio of clients has risen to 59, solidified by a high client retention rate, with a large proportion of clients re-signing year on year.
Over the past year, the agency has also witnessed international growth and the acquisition of several high-profile clients such as EL&N London, Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi Resort, and VEO Fitness under the Emaar portfolio.
One of its most notable new partnerships included winning the Four Seasons brand as a client, for which Katch now handles PR across the GCC market, including several properties in the UAE, the Maldives, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, among other destinations.

The communications and PR agency – which recently celebrated its 14th anniversary – has also worked on some commendable live events. It has collaborated with Live Nation Middle East for several shows including for Trevor Noah, Dave Chappelle Scorpions, OneRepublic, and the inaugural edition of Abu Dhabi Comedy Week, which was a sold-out success. The agency was also instrumental in orchestrating the PR for the UNTOLD Festival Dubai.
Reflecting on the agency’s journey, Georgie Woollams, the Founder of Katch International, said, “We are immensely proud of what we have achieved over the past 14 years. Our standing in the market hasn’t been earned overnight and it is all thanks to the dedication and creativity of our team, along with the enduring relationships we have built with our clients. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many more years of innovation, growth, and doing things the Katch way.”
Internal incentives and international expansion at Katch
The agency also highlighted its employment structure while marking close to a decade and a half of helping brands and clients with PR and communications.
Catering to a diverse team that speaks nearly 15 different languages, the agency rewards long-term employees with a percentage of the company’s annual profit, and has also introduced a comprehensive range of incentives, including a unique maternity/paternity policy that provides new mothers with three months of paid leave followed by three months of work-from-home, and new fathers with one week of paternity leave followed by one month of work-from-home.
The agency opened its Saudi Arabia office earlier this year, serving Saudi clients with localised expertise and fostering closer relationships with key stakeholders.
“Continuously expanding, with plans to do business in more parts of Asia and the US shortly, Katch is poised to explore new markets and perfect its craft further,” the agency confirmed in a statement.
