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.

“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.

“Recognition like this is meaningful because it reflects the kind of business culture we strive to foster,” said Julie Koester, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Dragon Horse Agency. “At Dragon Horse, we believe that excellent work begins with core values, thoughtful decision-making, and a commitment to doing the hard parts well.

Naples, FL – May 21, 2025 – Dragon Horse Media is proud to announce that Toofer & The Giblet, the beloved children’s series brought to life through animation, has been honored with three prestigious 2025 Telly Awards for excellence in video production and storytelling.

The awards include:

Silver – General: Book Trailer

Silver – Craft: Editing

Bronze – Craft: Voiceover & Narration

View Trailer Here: https://www.tooferandthegiblet.com/trailer/

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. These awards validate our belief in the timeless power of story, animation, and the magic that happens when both come together.”

Toofer & The Giblet began as an award-winning children’s book series known for its charming characters, gentle life lessons, and richly illustrated storytelling. 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.

About the Telly Awards
