AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WITH LEGENDARY ROOTS
2017 we celebrated eight years as Digney & Co. with a legacy of over 40 years in public relations as one of the industry’s remaining independent firms.
Since my first assignment in the 70s, I have been mentored by some of the greatest names in publicity, and worked with hundreds of boldfaced names —from stage and screen, business and philanthropy—from around the globe.
It has been my honor and privilege to plan, execute or support scores of major events including, two presidential inaugurals, major movie premieres and Broadway openings, The Grammy® Awards, Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, luxury resorts, world-class attractions, and for decades, one of the largest charity galas in the world.
