Naples, Florida, April 8, 2026 – Dragon Horse Agency, a marketing and business consulting firm headquartered in Naples, renowned for its innovative DragonONE platform—a comprehensive business strategy and marketing solution—and DragonIQ, the industry’s early adopter of artificial intelligence launched in 2016, takes pride in announcing that Co-Founder P. Blake Renda has been featured in the April editions of Old Naples News and North Naples News within each publication’s “Men of Vision” cover story. The editorial emphasizes the contributions of business and community leaders who are instrumental in driving progress, fostering innovation, and achieving sustained impact throughout Naples and the broader community.

In both publications, Renda is highlighted as Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Veeder Holdings LLC, a private investment and holding company overseeing Veedor I and a diverse portfolio of purpose-driven ventures, including Dragon Horse Agency, Dragon Horse Publishing, and Moxie Creed. Described as a “Vision Capitalist,” Renda’s leadership philosophy is anchored in the conviction that business should foster opportunity, fortify communities, and elevate society.

For Dragon Horse Agency, recognition signifies more than a personal achievement; it embodies the fundamental philosophy guiding our approach since inception. We believe strategy must be disciplined, creativity should be influential, and building a business means making a meaningful impact. Founded by Blake Renda and Julie Koester, the agency has evolved from its Naples origins into an innovative, global leader in marketing and consulting, serving diverse brands with a focus on strategic precision, compelling storytelling, performance excellence, and sustainable long-term value.

That same entrepreneurial vision is reflected in the “Men of Vision” coverage, which notes the continued growth of Veeder Holdings and the ventures built under its leadership.

“We are truly humbled to receive recognition in two esteemed Naples publications,” said P. Blake Renda, Co-Founder of Dragon Horse Agency. “For us, vision is not about standing still or chasing titles. It’s about purposefully building, taking responsibility for our impact, and creating work that empowers brands, businesses, and communities to move forward with meaning and intention.”

The April 2026 issues of the Old Naples News and the North Naples News frame their “Men of Vision” editions around leaders whose work contributes to shared progress in Naples across industries, including business, healthcare, hospitality, design, and finance. In Renda’s feature, the publications trace his career from media and entertainment to law, institutional investing, venture-building, and entrepreneurship, while emphasizing the resilience, discipline, and sense of purpose that continue to guide his work today.

This article outlines the parts of our model that clients typically notice first.  

It starts with the idea that “digital excellence” is not a one-off campaign. It is a system. GPMG underscores our strategy-first approach, including treating a brand as a long-term asset rather than a quick win. They describe that as a fiduciary mindset, where every decision ties back to business vision, market position, and long-term goals.  

GPMG highlights the creative work we deliver, including recognition for video, film, web, and campaign production. Not because awards are the goal, but because strong storytelling helps a brand land clearly and consistently across every channel. 

The Platforms Behind the Process

GPMG highlights two tools that support our operations. 

DragonONE is our proprietary platform that unifies business strategy, branding, full-service marketing, and analytics into a single, aligned framework.  The point is simple: planning and execution should not live in separate rooms.  

Also mentioned is DragonIQ, our AI-driven engine built to strengthen targeting, optimization, and decision-making across digital channels and evolving search ecosystems. The best part of this section is what it implies. AI is not the strategy. It supports it. It helps teams move faster, learn quicker, and make smarter calls when the market shifts.  

Why This Matters for Growth-Minded Brands

If you lead a business, you already know the most challenging part is not starting. It is staying aligned. GPMG frames Dragon Horse as a partner that blends consulting with execution, so marketing does not drift away from the bigger picture. They also list the full-service scope, from brand architecture and we to SEO, social, PR, media buying, and multimedia production, paired with C-suite level advisory.

For Immediate Release:  

Naples, Florida – October 13, 2025 – Dragon Horse Agency, the award-winning marketing and business consulting firm known for its disruptive creativity and strategic excellence, proudly celebrates its 10-year anniversary this month. What began as a bold idea between two visionaries in Naples, Florida, has evolved into a globally recognized firm with clients across industries and continents, redefining what it means to build brands that move culture and contribute to society.  

Founded in October of 2015 by P. Blake Renda and Julie Koester, Dragon Horse Agency launched with a clear mission: to merge strategy, innovation, and creativity in a way that navigates through and drives real-world performance through the platform called DragonONE. A decade later, that philosophy has become the agency’s trademark and the model adopted by others throughout the industry. From CannesLIONS finalist nominations to industry-first campaigns and early adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence with the 2016 launch of DragonIQ, Dragon Horse has continued to embody the art of business and the business of art.  

“Ten years ago, we embarked on a bold mission: to redefine the agency experience as a place where strategic business intelligence fuses seamlessly with genuine creative ingenuity,” said P. Blake Renda, Co-CEO & Co-Founder of Dragon Horse Agency. “Our vision was to establish an organization that values creativity as a powerful, quantifiable asset built on a foundation of proven business and investment acumen—essential to driving results. Today, our impact resonates from global platforms to local communities, and that profound reach inspires immense pride in what our family of dragons has accomplished.” 

A Decade of Vision and Velocity 

Over the past ten years, Dragon Horse has built a diverse portfolio spanning luxury brands, fine art, technology, lifestyle, hospitality, law, medical, consumer goods, philanthropy and much more. The agency’s proprietary DragonONE solution, which integrates strategic business consulting into full-service marketing, has enabled clients to scale faster, connect deeper, and achieve measurable growth in competitive markets.  

“Dragon Horse Agency’s success has always been rooted in collaboration, between our team, our clients, and the communities we serve,” said Julie Koester, Co-CEO & Co-Founder. “We’ve built Dragon Horse on passion, partnership, and purpose. This 10th anniversary isn’t about looking back; it’s about propelling forward, expanding our impact, continuing to innovate, and continuing to shape what creative excellence looks like in the next decade.” 

From Naples to the World 

With offices in Naples, Florida and Santa Monica, California, Dragon Horse continues to cultivate a truly global presence building on its founding values. The team of strategists, writers, designers, filmmakers, data experts, and others share one unifying belief: creativity is a force multiplier that drives business transformation.  

That vision has guided Dragon Horse through a decade of dynamic evolution, from pioneering new digital storytelling formats to redefining brand architecture for clients. Whether crafting cinematic campaigns, developing investor-ready business strategies, or amplifying philanthropic missions, the agency has made an art form of measurable marketing.  

Building the Future of Creative Strategy 

Looking ahead, Dragon Horse is poised for continued expansion as it continues to lean in on technology, such as AI-driven solutions, immersive media, and cross-platform storytelling. These innovations align with the agency’s commitment to staying ahead of cultural and technological shifts while keeping strategy at the core of every creative execution.  

“We’re entering our next chapter with more excitement, energy, and focus than ever before,” said Renda. “Our clients’ success stories inspire us daily. Every campaign, every launch, every piece of content is an opportunity to ignite curiosity and create lasting impact. The next decade of Dragon Horse will be defined by even bolder ideas, global collaborations, and purpose-driven creativity.” 

 Koester echoes the sentiment, stating, “Our tenth anniversary marks not just endurance, but evolution. The world has changed dramatically since we opened our doors, and so have the ways people connect with brands. Dragon Horse has never been afraid to adapt, to innovate, challenge, and to lead with heart. That’s our edge, and it always will be.”

The recognition comes from the globally respected Telly Awards, which spotlight outstanding work in video and television across all screens. Judged by the Telly Awards Judging Council—a collection of leading video and television experts from some of the most renowned companies in entertainment, publishing, and advertising—these honors are among the highest benchmarks for creative excellence in visual storytelling. 

“This is an incredibly proud moment for all of us,” said Julie Koester, Co-CEO of Dragon Horse Publishing. “Toofer &The Giblet has always had heart, but seeing that heart translated to screen in a way that resonates with audiences – and now the industry – is truly rewarding.

The transition from page to screen was made possible through a strategic partnership between Dragon Horse Publishing and FL6 Entertainment. The resulting animated trailer captured the spirit of Nimblewood – the whimsical woodland world where Toofer and The Giblet’s adventures unfold – while delivering a professionally produced, emotionally compelling cinematic experience. 

The project stood out not only for its narrative strength but also for its technical craftsmanship. From carefully paced editing to expressive narration and immersive sound design, the Toofer & The Giblet trailer exemplified the very best of what short-form storytelling can achieve. 

“Winning across multiple craft categories shows just how much passion and precision went into every frame,” said P. Blake Renda, Co-CEO of Dragon Horse Agency and Dragon Horse Publishing. “From animation to voiceover to final cut, this project was a masterclass in creative collaboration with our partner FL6 Entertainment. We knew we had something special, and we’re honored that the Telly Awards panel recognized it.” 

A Triumph of Collaboration 

The success of Toofer & The Giblet on the awards stage is also a testament to Dragon Horse Media’s DragonONE approach. This proprietary model fuses business strategy with full-service marketing and creative development. From ideation to post-production, Dragon Horse’s multidisciplinary team worked closely with animators, voice talent, and editors to bring a fully immersive experience to life – one that children and families can enjoy for generations to come. 

“These Telly wins are more than just trophies – they’re mile markers for where we’re headed as a company,” said Koester. “We’re committed to nurturing stories that matter, and to delivering them through every available medium – print, digital, film, and beyond.”  

 A Partnership with FL6 Entertainment That Brought Nimblewood to Life 

The success of Toofer & The Giblet’s animated trailer would not have been possible without the dynamic partnership between Dragon Horse Publishing and FL6 Entertainment. This collaboration merges the literary heart of the award-winning children’s series with the cinematic expertise of FL6, led by Tracy Beam and Dan Grodnik. Together, the teams have reimagined the whimsical world of Nimblewood for the screen – crafting a trailer that captures the warmth, humor, and timeless storytelling that Toofer and The Giblet are known for.  

“This is more than a content partnership – it’s a shared vision for what storytelling can be,” said Julie Koester. “We’re grateful to FL6 Entertainment for their passion, precision, and belief in Toofer & The Giblet.”  

“As we embark on this next chapter, our mission is clear—to create a series that not only entertains but also enriches the lives of children aged 3 to 12. Through the heartwarming adventures of Toofer & The Giblet, we aim to spark imagination, nurture empathy, and inspire curiosity in a way that lingers with young audiences long after the screen fades to black. This journey is about more than animation; it’s about crafting stories that matter, uplift, and empower the next generation,” said Tracy Beam, CEO FL6 Entertainment.
