Rogue is a team of friendly, competent professionals with diverse skills and expertise in the water industry. In 2019, we recognized a need to get in front of the discussions our customers were having to ensure their trust was maintained but weren’t sure where to begin. Rogue’s insights and guidance helped us immensely. Now, Rogue is a valuable partner in our efforts to improve our brand, anticipate customer expectations, and more effectively communicate the value of the services we provide.

Rogue Water has developed education materials that help water agencies think outside of the box when it comes to public outreach. Especially in a time of increasing drought, changing state mandates and an uncertain water future, they bring a new perspective to encourage the water industry to be more proactive in their engagement, while providing the tools and training they need to succeed.

Tia Lebherz, California Water Efficiency Partnership

I've heard quite a few times that storytelling is important and have learned the key elements to have and such but the H2duO did a great job of actually getting into the details needed to understand how to utilize this in our work. A big light bulb went off when they said that the main character is your intended audience and that we were the guide- that changed everything!
 
I really enjoyed all of the information and presentations in this module. Definitely bring back the H2duO! I also enjoyed the pre-session readings/podcasts.
