“Danny Deraney is the hardest working man in show business. Not only does he take his job as your representative seriously, but he treats you as he would his family or a beloved friend. Yes, he will provide you with unimaginable results, but he will also truly care for you and about you. He is a gift.”

“There is no one more hard working or loyal.”

Rosanna Arquette
LA Premiere of "Sharknado 2: The Second One"

“…if it weren’t for Danny Deraney’s efforts, all I’d be is anonymous.”

Thunder Levin, Screenwriter, Director

“Danny saw my plea on Twitter when I couldn’t afford a publicist and rode to my rescue when the Sharknado seemed like it might be blowing through town without me. He booked me on Good Morning America, CNN, and countless other press opportunities that I never would have landed without him. He was even the one who referred me to my new agent! I’m not sure if writing Sharknado makes me famous or infamous, or just very lucky, but if it weren’t for Danny Deraney’s efforts, all I’d be is anonymous.”

“The thing about Danny is that he knows how to think outside the box, but without wasting away into fantasy. He always hooked us up with great guests and was really flexible, too. On top that, he was one of the few publicists that I didn’t roll my eyes at when listening to their voicemails. Once he knows what you want, he gets it for you – it’s as simple as that.

A great guy, a fun guy and someone who knows how to advocate for a client without being obnoxious – that’s a trifecta if I’ve ever seen one!”
