I write, record, edit, and mix words and music.

Aaron M. Rogers has been called worse, but he is (among other things) a copywriter, social media professional, freelance marketing consultant, publicist, and audio engineer in Akron, Ohio. He’s not psyched to be writing his own bio in the third person, but that’s how it goes. He is not the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

He’s helped Blue Microphones, Death By Audio Effects Pedals, A Place To Bury Strangers, Dedstrange Records, Seymour Duncan, Stompbox Sonic, Ultimate Ears, the Kenmore Neighborhood Alliance, the Rialto Theatre, Eastside Rehearsal, EarthQuaker Devices, Future Children and Relaxer; plus clients in the healthcare, home improvement, retail, event, SaaS, travel and food service industries engage with audiences and grow their revenue with snappy copy (he claims it’ll be better than this bio) and effective and efficient social media strategies. He’ll write your tweets, too.

As the first full-time copywriter at EarthQuaker Devices, he worked to develop the voice and social media persona of a growing effects pedal start-up desperate and eager to cultivate an audience and change the conversation in musical instrument marketing to make room for new voices, new instruments, and new music. If EarthQuaker Devices said it from 2016-18, he wrote it. He also replied to (most of) your comments. Others he hid.

“I built a whole bunch of pedals, too,” he says. “It ruled.”

In 2017-18, Aaron was a member of EarthQuaker’s International Business Development committee where he contributed marketing strategy and written materials for translation which helped the company secure a distribution deal in Japan with Yamaha and win the US Small Business Administration’s 2018-19 Exporter of the Year Award.

Aaron has over 18 years of experience in the music industry. But he’s not even that old. How is that possible? Well, he started playing bass and booking his own shows when he was 15, was mixing live sound in local venues by 19, spent the last 8 years in the musical instrument business (he likes it there), worked at a record store for a while, and doesn’t know what else to do.

As a live sound engineer, he’s mixed FOH and monitors for pop-punk hitmakers The Ataris, Drummer (w/ Patrick Carney of The Black Keys), David J of goth pioneers Bauhaus, actor Corey Feldman, JUNO award-winning metal band KEN Mode, desert rockers Totimoshi, abstract bluesmen Jack and Robert Kidney (15-60-75 the Numbers Band), and about 600 other bands. Between 2012–2016, he played the bass guitar in some wacky time signatures with Ultrasphinx alongside Ian Cummins (Actual Form, Obnox) and Joe Dennis (the Party of Helicopters), touring the Midwest and East Coast and self-releasing a 7” and LP.

In the recording studio, his credits include Annabel’s debut LP Each and Everyone (CYLS Records), Ultrasphinx’s self-titled record, and Jean- Emmanuel Deluxe’s Rouen Dreams, which features collaborations with April March, whose “Chick Habit” is heard in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof; Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas, and krautrock legend Werner "Zappi" Diermaier of Faust; produced by Kevin Coral (the Witch Hazel Sound).

While attending the University of Akron, Aaron received the English department’s 2014 Pixley Award for "outstanding ability and promise in the fields of literature, music, and speech.”

Whether you’re in need of someone to write the instruction manual for a new piece of gear, social strategy and analysis, email marketing, pitching to media, audio recording / editing / mixing, live sound, blog posts, interviews, or something else entirely–he wants to help.
