wELCOME

Thank you very much for joining me here.

As the principal of The Darnell Works Agency — the go-to PR firm for bold business leaders and their organizations — my clients continually redefine cutting-edge creativity with their campaigns and high-profile film, TV, commercial, and experiential projects.

A widely published author with many film/TV credits on the production side, I’m also a pioneering creator of original content. The U.S. Air Force certified me as a Training Systems Specialist, and I’m very proud to have earned a Creative Writing Fellowship from Scripps Howard Foundation very early in my career. In my ongoing collaborations, I am especially drawn to filmmakers and studios.

Over the years, I’ve published and promoted many original books, custom publications, and art collections. To learn more about my background, past speaking engagements, and favorite topics:

Exclusives

As my author’s journey continues, I am studying my favorite trailblazers and building an original playlist. It’s great to know the results are providing provocative subjects for us to explore together, and creating new opportunities to experience and share good times.


Buzz

Through my clients and friends, I have a ringside seat to a lot of exciting developments in the creative industry. There are always cool new products, services, and happenings on the horizon. I look forward to serving as a gateway to rich, unique, actionable information.


Extras

Who doesn’t like a good deal? I feel very lucky to operate in a place where good things tend to abound. To honor your time and consideration, I am committed to adding extra-awesome dimensions to our exchanges. And of course, I’m always happy to hear from you.

“Readers are sure to enjoy exposure to Roger’s poetry, and hopefully the notion that writing as a practice helps keep us connected to our own lives . . . and in looking back, the history that exists within each of us.”

Katrina Cummings Stoll
Teacher

“For anyone who’s ever doubted themselves or questioned their purpose in life, Roger reminds us of just how far the discipline of tenacity can take you. His journey is one of constant discovery, vulnerability, and being shared through tender prose and stories of a life richly lived.”

Michele Lu Kumar
CEO, Priya PR, Inc.

“Our dreams rarely look the way we thought they would. Roger shows us a beautiful example of honoring, embracing, nurturing, and celebrating the dream that is.”

Joan Zimmerman
MA, LMFT

“For those who are staking out their own journeys in the creative-industrial complex, this book is for you. Roger shows how someone with the soul of an artist can successfully and confidently navigate that world, and at the same time displays his own considerable artistic talents. The book also shows another side of the ‘industry’ – one that includes people who care very much about art and soul, who respect and highly appreciate the extraordinary courage of poets and artists everywhere.”

Dr. John Minbiole
Assistant Teaching Professor, Penn State University
