Our Story
We’re called “Rogue” Water for a reason. From our founding on a cocktail napkin in 2014 to our award-winning and industry-leading present, our mission has always been to revolutionize the water sector through communication and storytelling.
What makes us unique? We know water… but we aren’t all “water nerds.” Our team is a mix of water professionals and executive-level creative operatives from Madison Avenue to K Street to Hollywood.
Together, we represent over half-a-century of strategic communications and marketing experience. Together, we offer an enriched knowledge of water issues and the complex nuances of municipal politics, and a first-in-class track record for developing audience-centric communications that inspire and persuade.
We’re grateful to the clients and partners bold enough to go rogue with us. Are you bold enough to “go Rogue?”

Zeek
RIP
Our logo includes a chameleon (yes, we had one named Zeek). Sadly, Zeek passed away in September 2019 but his legacy lives on as we continue to help clients win over the lizard brains (amygdala) of their audience, adapt to their different audience’s needs, and bring color (out-of-the-box thinking) to a traditionally neutral toned, risk-averse, industry standard.
Awards
We believe if you’re going to show up for work at least forty hours a week anyway, you might as well aim for excellence.
