Dubai-headquartered PR, events, and experiential agency, Katch International, has announced several new client wins across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as the agency celebrates its 15th anniversary.
In UAE, Katch has welcomed KIGO - a new omakase restaurant at Four Seasons DIFC, Adaline - a dinner-show by Fundamental Hospitality, and 71 Steak and Grill - a homegrown wood-fire grilling and slow-smoking craft, which has expanded from Ajman and Sharjah into Dubai. In the realm of live events, Katch will again take charge of the PR for the Dubai Comedy Festival, handling communications for the fifth consecutive year.
Jetour, a global automotive brand exclusively partnered with Elite Group Holding, has also chosen Katch to handle its communications as it enters the UAE market. In beauty, Sterling Perfumes has joined Katch’s roster, and in the hospitality sector, the team has welcomed Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane and Four Seasons Astir Palace, Athens.
In Saudi Arabia, the team added Rixos Murjana, the Kingdom’s all-inclusive resort, to its client portfolio, building on the agency’s existing portfolio in the Kingdom, which includes Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, The Hotel Galleria Jeddah, Curio Collection by Hilton, and Address Jabal Omar Makkah. In addition to these new signings, Katch is also set to host the Four Seasons Riyadh x Piaget Afternoon Tea.
Dhara Bhatia, Group PR Director of Katch International, commented, “Our recent client wins reflect the trust that leading global and regional brands continue to place in us, and we are incredibly proud to be part of their journeys. Our portfolio has never been more diverse than it is now, and as we expand across both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, we are just as dedicated to delivering bold, creative, and culturally resonant campaigns that truly connect with audiences.”
Outside the region, the agency has been appointed to manage PR in both the UK and GCC markets for the Verdala Wellness Hotel in Malta. Additionally, Katch has welcomed the Four Seasons China Collection, handling communications for the brand’s distinguished properties across the country.

Specialist corporate and financial communications consultancy, 3CPR, has launched CLARIO, an AI-powered reporting dashboard.
CLARIO - standing for Clarity and Innovation - was developed in-house by 3CPR’s data scientist. It tracks media coverage outcomes and key programme metrics, allowing clients to access live reporting and download charts, graphs, and data for internal use.
According to the consultancy, unlike broader media monitoring platforms, CLARIO focuses on the work undertaken by 3CPR and the resulting outcomes. It has also enabled the agency to move from half-yearly or annual reporting to an always-on model, reducing the time required to compile reports manually.
3CPR Founding Partner, Paul Cheal, said: “Media outcomes remain a key metric for PR performance, but for too long we have been stuck using tedious, time-consuming spreadsheets and relying on reporting that focuses on hindsight. AI provides a generational opportunity to change our approach - linking our activity to tangible business outcomes and providing real time visibility of strategic opportunities.
“The CLARIO platform offers a near real time view of media outcomes, tailored to each organisation’s goals and KPIs. It provides significant time saving for PR teams and delivers greater transparency to clients.
“We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients. In the spirit of lifting our profession as a whole, we are offering a white label version for corporates or agencies who want to revamp how they report on their proactive activities and media campaign outcomes.”
Ashbury in Hong Kong has welcomed Sidney Leng as Associate Director, Advisory. In his new role, he is responsible for strategic communications advisory for the firm’s clients.

Many communications teams have experimented with AI, but few have successfully embedded it into their day-to-day workflows.
Join Telum Media for this insightful session exploring how leading communications teams have moved beyond one-off prompts to implement AI in ways that deliver consistent, measurable value.
Our panel of experts will provide practical insights into what works, what doesn't, and how to turn AI from a useful tool into an integral part of your communications strategy.
