Dubai, 10 February 2009; 2009 started on a timely note for boutique public relations agency, d'pr, with its appointment as the regional communications agency for Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweller, Roger Dubuis.  

d'pr will be responsible for creating awareness of the brand within a sophisticated, trend-setting niche market in the GCC region, through a strategically targeted and creative brand building campaign.
