What Katch International does

Katch International is a boutique PR, design, social media, and communications agency serving enterprise clients across luxury, hospitality, fashion, premium consumer, financial services, and entertainment. Founded in London by Georgie Woollams around 2006, the firm has grown from a two-person office into a 50+ person agency with regional hubs in London (UK), Dubai (UAE headquarters), and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), collectively trading as Katch International with sub-brands Katch London, Katch Dubai, and Katch Riyadh.

The firm's product surface comprises six integrated services: Brand Storytelling, Public Relations, Influencer Strategy, Brand Repositioning, Brand Alignments, and a Global Network/Local Knowledge offering. Delivery is built on a network-driven model in which bespoke teams of specialist consultants are assembled per client project, rather than a proprietary technology platform. The client roster is enterprise-heavy and includes TAG Heuer, Live Nation, Emaar, Four Seasons, Barclays, Marriott Bonvoy, Ritz Carlton, Nikon, Canon, HP, IHG, Atelier Swarovski, Guylian, Renault Lotus F1, and METT Hotels & Resorts, with case-study evidence of tier-1 media placements (e.g., Verdala Wellness Hotel coverage in The Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller, and The Times).

The business operates as a private, founder-led professional services firm with no disclosed external funding or parent company. Revenue is generated through project-based fees and retainer arrangements for ongoing PR and communications support; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through regional offices with a relationship- and referral-driven model leveraging cultural expertise across UK and GCC markets. Marketing is primarily organic — content marketing via the company blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, industry event presence (Cannes Lions), and earned media case studies.
