Financial and Tech PR Firm Dukas Public Relations Ranked Among Ten Fastest Growing Public Relations Firms for Third Straight Year

Posted on: Thursday, 26 March 2009, 15:00 CDT

O'Dwyer's '09 PR Agency Ranking Cites 47% Growth in 2008

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Dukas Public Relations (DPR) announced today that for the third straight year, it has been ranked as one of the ten fastest growing PR firms in the U.S. by O'Dwyer, a highly-respected PR industry observer and publisher. This growth came from DPR's financial public relations and tech pr practices, as well as from the addition of new service lines such as DPRI, a digital and interactive communications practice.

In 2008, DPR also ranked 85th, by total revenue, on Inc. Magazine's list of fastest-growing independently-owned private companies.

Dukas Public Relations sustained its growth in 2008 by continuing its focus on delivering top-tier media results and by expanding its hedge fund public relations practice. In total, DPR has 12 hedge fund clients, as well as five professional services firms that cater to the financial industry. DPR's tech pr practice also saw good growth in 2008.

DPR expanded its client service offerings with the launch of a digital and interactive communications division, Dukas Public Relations Interactive (DPRI). DPRI provides a full range of online PR services, enabling the agency to extend its reach across multiple Web 2.0 platforms and build upon its successful ROI-based PR campaigns.

In the next several weeks, DPR also plans to launch an investor relations and corporate communications practice.

"While 2008 was a record-setting year for DPR, 2009 is obviously going to be much more challenging. However, our business is strong, and we continue to add new clients," said Richard Dukas, President and CEO of Dukas Public Relations.
