About Derring-Do Inc.
Founded in 2018 by communications veteran Jesse Kent, Derring-Do Inc. emerged from a clear gap in how real estate and proptech companies approached media engagement. Kent’s background—first at a boutique PR firm representing high-profile real estate personalities, then as head of communications for Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Northeast Region, and later at the startup Triplemint—gave him firsthand insight into how quickly the media landscape was shifting for property-focused businesses. The agency’s name, drawn from a term meaning “brave acts,” reflects a philosophy of taking calculated risks to secure meaningful press coverage rather than relying on safe, predictable pitches. Based in New York, United States, at 245 E 39th St, Derring-Do Inc. has built a reputation for helping companies in real estate technology, commercial real estate, and mortgage banking navigate a crowded media environment.
Core Focus: Real Estate, Proptech, and Mortgage Communications
Derring-Do Inc. concentrates its work on the intersection of real estate and communications, with a particular emphasis on proptech—the technology platforms and services reshaping how properties are bought, sold, and managed. The agency also serves mortgage bankers, retail real estate firms, and commercial real estate companies. Rather than spreading across unrelated industries, Derring-Do has deepened its expertise in these verticals, allowing the team to understand complex topics like property data analytics, mortgage lending cycles, and retail leasing trends. This specialization means clients benefit from media strategies that are grounded in industry knowledge rather than generic PR tactics. The agency has developed a track record of helping clients achieve press coverage growth in reputable outlets, using media diversification to reach audiences across business, finance, and trade publications.
