“We interviewed multiple ‘top’ PR agencies to help us launch the Donors of Color Network’s climate justice campaign. Many declined once they saw the funders and philanthropies our campaign planned to publicly engage. But not Riff City. Riff City told us they thrive in David vs. Goliath battles and their advocacy and media efforts are helping to strengthen the movement so we can win on climate.”
“As a repeat (2x!) customer of Riff, I can attest to their hustle and creativity in bringing stories to life for organizations that live at the intersection of humanity and technology.

“Riff City has helped bring the most significant policy changes to the military justice system in history. Riff gives our troops and their families a voice, pressures elected leaders to support reform, and has brought the epidemic of sexual violence, victim retaliation and racism in the military out of the shadows and into the national spotlight.”
“Riff City excels in combining creative thinking, strategic communications, as well as deep media and domain expertise to help build government technology companies into industry leaders.
