About Derring-Do
Derring-Do is a specialized real-estate public relations firm founded in New York City in 2018 by Jesse Kent, a communications expert with more than ten years of experience. “Derring-do” refers to an act of courage. It is the ethos the firm lives by and the type of work our clients can expect and count on: brave, bold and groundbreaking. Derring-Do works with top-producing individual real estate agents, brokers, and mortgage bankers, large brokerage firms, data and analytics companies, and a Proptech-focused VC firm.
Derring-Do’s clients have grown their press coverage by 750% in months, expanded their client base ten-fold, and many of them are regularly quoted in highly reputable outlets. The firm’s diverse client portfolio enables them to multiply story opportunities for each individual client: a mortgage story can feature a real estate agent and vice versa.
