PRESIDENT, BALLON DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING

Durée & Company’s commitment to excellence, creativity and out-of-the-box approach has set a new benchmark in providing results-oriented campaigns for any industry. With over two decades in pre-construction luxury developments, I understand the importance of engaging the right PR firm to create outstanding media opportunities in this very competitive space. Durée & Company exceeded my expectations when the firm was engaged to be the exclusive PR firm for both Hemisphere Sales Group and our client, Sabbia Beach. Securing two magazine cover opportunities in less than a week and creating newsworthy stories, Durée & Company successfully created a media campaign that put Pompano Beach on the map. President Durée Ross’ innate ability to manage any challenge, and the personal interest she takes with all of her clients, go above and beyond public relations. I regard Durée & Company as the best of the best, and highly recommend Durée and her team to achieve success for any project or company.

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, BRAVO | BRIO RESTAURANT GROUP

I have had the pleasure of working with Durée & Company since 2008. They have proven themselves to be an integral part of our day-to-day activities even though they are in South Florida and we are based in Columbus, Ohio. That said, they are tremendous communicators, diligent, organized and a priceless asset to our company. True business partners in every sense of the word, we see the positive impact they bring to our restaurants located in Florida through the positive media attention, PR and event opportunities presented to us and the follow through on making sure everything we do is promoted to the fullest. I can’t thank Durée and her team enough for all they have done and continue to do for us. They are great ambassadors for our brands!

SHAREHOLDER & ATTORNEY, BRYANT MILLER OLIVE P.A.

I resisted the whole idea of engaging a public relations firm for our law firm. I didn’t think we needed it and it just didn’t feel right. Within weeks, Durée & Company showed me how wrong I was. They invested a lot of up-front time getting to know us and tailored their services to our sensitivities and needs. At the same time, we learned from them how we could benefit from public relations services in ways we never imagined and with which we were totally comfortable. Durée & Company has found opportunities for us we never would have known about without them. They have enhanced our practices and provided experienced, solid advice. They have been there for us days, nights, and weekends. With Durée & Company, we made a wise investment. We also made good friends.

This particular property required an extra level of care and sensitivity, which presented some additional layers to work through. However, you were still able to deliver amazing coverage and meet the needs of the team/client.

MARKETING MANAGER, COOPER’S HAWK WINERY

Working with Durée & Company has been a remarkable experience. I cannot stress enough how much we value and appreciate Durée and her team’s efforts in our newest restaurant opening. We seek to partner with a local PR firm that are experts in the market, well connected in the community, and have the experience necessary to react quickly to rapidly changing trends – and the team not only brought these qualities, but an enormous energy, detail, and innovation to every project. They were able to help increase our media exposure significantly in the South Florida market, and effectively get us published in a variety of news outlets. In addition to their professionalism, they are just plain fun to work with and we’ve had an extremely successful opening of our newest winery & restaurant!

PRESIDENT, FRANCES HERRERA INTERIOR DESIGN

Durée Ross and her team deliver! Having used her services for my Interior Design business, she has set a new bar for what I consider service excellence. The amount of exposure she creates for my business which moved from New York City far exceeded my expectations. She definitely means what she stands for which is “under promising and always over delivering!” Not only is she professional and creative, but also caring and a pleasure to work with.

The LOOP Fort Lauderdale Beach
CONSULTANT, CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT, LAS OLAS OCEANSIDE PARK SYSTEM

Over the past twenty-plus years, I have worked with several Public Relations Firms on various client initiatives. From the start of our collaboration to launch the Las Olas Oceanside Park System, it was evident that Duree & Company and the team of “Dynamos” were not your average PR professionals. Their strategic approach to giving a platform for “the LOOPs’” purpose and place immediately set them apart. Nearly three years later, they continue to weave storylines and pitches that resonate across various media channels to keep our journey relevant and fresh, with new opportunities for the City of Fort Lauderdale to shine.

On the professional side, to say they’ve exceeded expectations would be an understatement. The sheer amount of coverage across various mediums – from print and online to the grand stage of television – is nothing short of remarkable. I have often wondered if they have a magic wand with our name engraved on it.

However, it’s not often you come across a team that excels not only in their craft but also in their interpersonal and communication skills. One of the many aspects distinguishing the D & Co Dynamos’ is their immediacy in communicating successful outcomes in both real-time and through detailed month-end recap reports. The extra touch of the “On behalf of our media outreach” email is the highlight of my inbox.

All that said, and beyond professional achievements, the “Dynamos” are quite simply a pleasure to work with. Their genuine commitment and the firm’s culture make every interaction enjoyable, fostering a partner relationship filled with shared success. As we continue our journey with them, I am excited to see how they’ll continue to work their magic for Las Olas Oceanside Park.

PRESIDENT, MARKER CONSTRUCTION GROUP

Durée & Company has been instrumental in getting us extensive press and exposure, not just as a company but as individuals. We have received press in a number of leading publications, including the Miami Herald, Forbes and FOX Business. Durée & Company has also helped us achieve notable awards, including the South Florida Business Journal’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies and Influential Business Women of the year. We are so appreciative of their efforts and the results they have achieved for us in a short amount of time.

FOUNDER, MLE LAW

Smart, aggressive, dynamic and everything in between, Durée and her team are my number 1 asset! They’ve provided more meaningful exposure for me in 6 months than I’ve achieved in 16 years. In short, they’re worth every penny and then some! Oh, and they’re just plain good people. For me, there’s no better in the business!

FOUNDING PARTNER, MR. CANNABIS LAW

Having a PR agency in place was one of the best business decisions I could have made, and the results have certainly paid off! Durée & Company has gone above and beyond in every aspect of their work for me and my companies. With a thorough understanding of the cannabis industry, Durée and her team always come prepared with ideas and a solid plan. I would absolutely recommend Durée & Company to anyone who is looking to for a PR partner to deliver results and help elevate their business.

CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, RISING TIDE CAR WASH

Over my 25 years of being a successful entrepreneur, I never hired a public relations firm. Based on my recent experience with Durée & Company, that was a mistake. When I created the social enterprise Rising Tide Car Wash in 2013, I made a clear decision not to use conventional advertising to power it, but rather to engage earned media to drive consumer awareness. In order to build this high profile, we needed top-notch PR talent. That’s what we got with Durée & Company. A good PR company gets you press, but a great PR company like Durée & Company teaches you how to handle it, and guides you through the process to get the best results. Durée takes a great interest in the success of our business. She is a fully integrated part of our management team, and there for us 24/7. This extra effort translates into exceptional results. Her intimate knowledge of our goals and strategies enables us to get the very best results from earned media and community outreach.

PROJECT MANAGER, RIVERWALK A&E DISTRICT

I have had the great privilege to work with Durée & Company for more than two years. Every single member of this firm is bright, engaging, creative and committed to exceeding their client’s expectations. Having been myself in the field of public relations and marketing for nearly 30 years, and working at several agencies throughout that time, I am well versed in what characteristics separate one agency from the next. I am pleased to share that Durée Ross and her team have a superior work ethic and complete understanding of the media and how to best leverage those relationships to deliver their clients maximum results. There is never a time that I, or any member of my team at the Riverwalk A&E District, make a request of the agency and are met with anything other than a positive, can-do attitude. The agency has delivered results for me at every turn and their enthusiasm toward helping me promote our cultural destination is exhilarating. Durée Ross and her team of professionals are among the finest in our industry. I look forward to having the pleasure of working with this amazing group for many years to come.

CHIEF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, SAPOZNIK

Selecting the right PR agency was a critical component for our 30th anniversary milestone year. We needed guidance regarding the overall plan for the year. Durée & Company was able to develop the strategy and execution to effectively communicate and promote our 30th anniversary. They are a very dedicated, hardworking team of professionals that were committed to our success. Knowing that they were as passionate as we were about our efforts, made Durée and her team a very valuable asset to our company.

I wanted to thank each of you for the incredible effort you put into making 2024 FLIBS such a success. Bringing Pier Sixty-Six to life this year required a great deal of collaboration, coordination and hard work from logistics and hospitality to setup and on-the-ground support. Who knew you could make an unfinished condo interior truly stunning? Thank you Durée and her incredible team.

HOST OF THE WOLF OF ALL STREETS PODCAST, SCOTT MELKER

In a short time, Durée and her team have garnered national business, investing and fintech media coverage for my brand. I was seeking a PR partner that understood the complexities and fast pace of the cryptocurrency industry and was fortunate to find Durée & Company. Her team was always quick to respond and worked around my busy schedule. I would absolutely recommend Durée & Company to anyone looking for a results-driven PR partner.

PRESIDENT/CEO, SPECIAL NEEDS GROUP/ SPECIAL NEEDS AT SEA

Prior to working with Durée & Company, we would spend money on magazine ads. We really did not see a return on our investment. Choosing to redirect our budget towards the PR services provided by Durée & Company was the best marketing decision we have ever made. Durée’s company has gotten us the television, newspaper, magazine, and local organization exposure we had yearned for. We feel that the money spent on Durée & Company’s services has given us an exponential return on our brand recognition. Money well spent.

The team at Durée & Company always has our best interest in mind and works proactively to secure opportunities for Veritas Farms on a local and national level. We have put forth a number of business objectives that have been met through a myriad of media opportunities. A recent win on a national business network was truly impactful for our company and reflected in our bottom line. We thank Durée and her team for their concerted efforts and for always being available when we need them.
