Based in New York, in the heart of Manhattan, DLPR (www.dlpr.com) is a leading independent public relations agency known for representing leaders in investment management, financial and professional services, and fintech. DLPR’s strategies help clients expand their share of voice, enhance their brand value and—most important—engage audiences in a competitive global marketplace.

Pedro Salazar PR (www.pedrosalazarpr.pt) is a boutique public relations agency located in Lisbon, Portugal’s coastal capital city. From crisis management to media relations and digital-PR, they develop and promote the editorial concepts and the communication strategies that allow the media to tell the best stories for their clients across Portugal.

“Both Dukas Linden Public Relations and Pedro SalazarPR are leaders in their respective markets of New York and Lisbon, and they embody the GCA’s values, strategic perspectives and high quality client service. Their addition to the GCA enables Global Communications Alliance members to further expand the on-the-ground reach of public relations, crisis communications and public affairs advice and delivery for our clients,” said Susan Smith, Chair of the GCA and Principal of Bluesky Strategy Group in Ottawa, Canada.

DLPR CEO Richard Dukas added, “Dukas Linden PR is very pleased to bring our financial communications and public relations expertise to the Global Communications Alliance. We look forward to leveraging the GCA’s global network for the benefit of our clients, and working with our GCA colleagues to expand their reach in the US financial communications market”.

Pedro Salazar, founder of pedrosalarpr.pt, agreed. “Pedero SalazarPR’s motto is about ‘making our clients’ business the news’. The Global Communications Alliance provides an opportunity for our clients to reach broader audiences and for GCA members to connect on-the-ground with the Portuguese market.
