Craig Duncan

President/Managing Director, Cutters Studios

Years ago, I set out to only work with the best of the best, and Roger Darnell epitomizes that standard. As Chief PR Counsel for Cutters Studios since 2014, his impact on our organization’s success is beyond measure. Roger is a true partner in every sense of the word. He really takes the time to get to know the culture and the spirit of the companies he represents. Roger’s unique approach and clear strategy have been a guiding light for our company. He has become a part of us, and I can’t imagine where we would be without him.

Judy Wolff

VP Director of Business Development, Sarofsky

Roger Darnell is an exception in the world of Public Relations, where there is so much mediocrity. He is endlessly curious, asks intelligent questions, considers and listens with great focus and extends himself way beyond expectation. His ability to dissect challenging problems and come up with successful creative solutions for the advertising, production, media and entertainment communities is only matched by his humanity and deep understanding of what's at stake for all of us as we strive for success in this complex and changing world.

Zack Kingdon

Co-Founder & Director of Parnerships, Extended Reality Group

When we started working with Roger our goals were to share our top projects and business developments and to place them in front of a wider target-audience. Shortly after we realized what Roger brought to the table greatly surpassed our expectations. Working with Roger has been pivotal in how we organize and deliver our brand image and press kits. His expert organization, strategic planning, deep network, and straight-forward communication are just a few of the tools that make him an incredible Creative Partner and a PR & Marketing Alchemist. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with Roger is truly privileged and will find his astute and adept approach extremely rewarding.

Chad Hutson

CSO, Dimensional Innovations | Former Co-Founder & CEO, Leviathan

Leviathan is a company I helped get off the ground in 2010, and on all counts I'd consider it a success...though without Roger Darnell as our public relations partner, there's no doubt that the success would be significantly diminished. Roger helped give our company a face and a voice through articles in numerous industry and general publications as well as social media, both domestically and internationally, which is a dream for any modest startup. His counsel provided my partners and me with the knowledge and opportunities to speak at prestigious events, giving us not only notoriety but also confidence to stand among giants of our business.

Ric Peralta

Founder, Peralta Consultants & RogueID | Former Chairman, CEO, & Managing Partner, ATTIK

Roger has always been a tremendous advocate for our brand. His integrity in messaging cannot be matched. I have often had difficult situations where his advice has proven integral to the ultimate positive result. Roger is a trusted advisor.

Bevin McNamara

Filmmaker, Creative Director| Former Editor in Chief, Motionographer

...As editor-in-chief of Motionographer, the motion design industry’s digital trade publication, his kind of respect MATTERS BIG TIME. It is obvious in his insightful press releases that he has an extraordinary understanding of the industry and advocates with passion for his roster of talent.

Jason White

Director, Experience Design | Former Co-Founder & CCO, Leviathan

You have to work with Roger. That's what I tell anyone who needs to craft incredible stories and shape their public image. I've been collaborating with Roger for the better part of a decade, and his vast experience with the industry took our studio to extraordinary heights. I've seen tremendous results from our ongoing efforts that fanned the flames for our reputation. Roger is very professional, persistent, and a joy to work with. Roger goes above and beyond every time, and I can't recommend him enough.

Denis Krylov

Co-Founder & CEO, Transparent House

We’ve been working with Roger for the past 6 years and he has not only helped us to get our work in front of millions of people but he also provided guidance on what’s the best way for us to get there. This is what makes Roger’s way of working with clients so unique - he will always advise you if the projects you give him are worth “PR efforts” so that you don’t waste your time and money on something what can easily just live on your website’s portfolio. If he sees a potential in what you give him, he will go out his way to make sure your work gets noted and published. He knows the industry and its people, understands the current trends and in general is a super pleasant person to work with. I’d highly recommend Roger Darnell and his agency for all your strategic public relations needs.
