Author, publisher, creator, and career guide Roger Darnell is the principal of The Darnell Works Agency, the go-to PR firm for bold business leaders and their organizations. Since launching in 2000, the agency’s clients have succeeded brilliantly, scoring top industry accolades, and collaborating with world-leading creative marketers to continually redefine cutting-edge creativity. Collectively, their projects have spanned original feature, short, and brand films, TV series, music videos, film and TV main titles and idents, top-rated Super Bowl spots, iconic network promos for major networks, and even Olympics openers.
A widely published author with global business contacts and numerous credits on independent feature films and network TV series, Roger is also the creator of the original travelogue series, “Rare Air.” Certified as a U.S. Air Force Training Systems Specialist and winner of a Scripps-Howard Foundation fellowship for creative writing, he is especially drawn to filmmakers and studios. Through his partnership, his clients have secured festival screenings, distribution deals, panel appearances and keynote speaking engagements at prominent business and creative-industry conferences worldwide.
Supporting authors and artists, Roger has published and promoted many original books, custom publications, and art collections. In line with his values, he regularly contributes to non-profits aimed at protecting the environment and endangered species and helping homeless and other at-risk individuals. Married to Beth Darnell since 1992, and father to Amelia and Riley, Roger also takes immense pride in each of the recommendations he has received from clients and colleagues on LinkedIn, and in his friendships with some of the planet’s coolest people.
