Why does the enduring success of Roger Darnell and The Darnell Works Agency deserve your attention? As 2025 dawns, the acclaimed author, publisher, and creator is set to celebrate 25 years of strategic PR excellence. Representing top-tier creative businesses like Cutters Studios, Fivestone Studios, and Hyperquake, Darnell is eager to share the invaluable insights and lessons he’s amassed since founding DWA in Los Angeles in 2000. With a robust educational background and a record of accolades that spans the globe, Darnell’s journey offers a masterclass in using communications skills to achieve phenomenal success.
Through his pioneering work, Darnell leveraged two B.A. Communications degrees from The University of Central Florida, along with training received through the U.S. Air Force Reserve, to place himself on a career path that has proven to be exceptional. Operating as an independent communications consultant has allowed him to work remotely, side-by-side with premier talents and business leaders worldwide. To educate others interested in this rewarding career field, he recently published two books through Taylor & Francis/Routledge Books: “The Communications Consultant’s Foundation” helps the next generation of smart communicators – in all fields – take their professional pursuits to the highest levels; and “The Communications Consultant’s Master Plan” helps experienced communications pros fortify and expand their expertise, identify and pursue advanced career opportunities, and optimize all aspects and phases of their and their clients’ businesses, from start-up through to succession.
To say the least, Darnell was blown away by the advance praise he received for both books. For one powerful example, here are the words of Modern Work consultant and Thought Leader Brett Knowles: “Who would have thought that great communications were so deeply rooted in the strategy and fabric of the target organization? Answer: Everyone who is great at it! Darnell has revealed where his magical body of work has come from – it comes from that systemic understanding of the organizations he is communicating about. We are lucky to have him share with us the wisdom he has gained and his ‘tricks of the trade.’ Thanks for making it easier to follow in your footsteps!”
Reflecting on DWA’s sustained success, Darnell is extremely proud of the insights contained within recommendations he has received on LinkedIn from the “Who’s Who” of business leaders he has been privileged to work with. Together, these glowing testimonials reveal what has set DWA apart for entrepreneurs seeking to elevate their brands and achieve sustainable growth. Based on that treasury of hard-earned feedback, here are three reasons for entrepreneurs to consider working with DWA.

Spanning momentous educational opportunities, conferences and iconic events, this premium content is also syndicated by Creativepool, the world’s leading creative industry network connecting talent, agencies, brands, and service providers to opportunities across the globe.
Among Darnell’s LinkedIn recommendations, one to-the-point comment from a high-profile, London-based creative director suggests following his lead and talking to Darnell, “If you want advice, expertise and enthusiasm from a very honest warm human being.” The invitation to reach out and keep in touch remains wide open.
