Malcolm Gladwell of “The Tipping Point” fame would call Ron Rogers a “connector,” someone with that special gift of bringing diverse people and ideas together. Perhaps that is why, when we asked our founder and CEO if there was one thing for which he wanted The Rogers Group to be known, his answer was, “Our commitment to community building and diversity. If we’re the agency that people who care want to be part of, we’ll deliver everything our clients need and more.”
Over the course of his 30+ year career, Ron has helped develop strategies, and long-term marketing and communication programs, for some of the world’s most important companies, non-profit organizations and government entities. He is also widely recognized for his ability to bring corporate and non-profit organizations together and for forging partnerships between the public and the private sectors.
Ron often takes a leadership role in legislative and regulatory issues, outreach to ethnic communities and local community affairs, often personally serving as a liaison between key public officials and corporate decision makers.
Ron is the driving force behind the agency’s extensive pro bono work for various charitable and non-profit organizations. He is vice chair of the board of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, a board member of the L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce, and is a founding board member of the Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research. He is also a founding member of the Los Angeles Police Foundation, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and currently serves as founding chair of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. For more than 25 years, Ron has served on the board of the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. In the past, Ron served on the boards of Community Advocates; Coro, a political leadership organization; and Outward Bound. Over his illustrious career, Ron has frequently been requested as an “on call” advisor to public officials.
A Los Angeles native, Ron began his career in the entertainment industry. Later, he transitioned into the corporate arena.
