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.”

Dragons Take Over the West Coast

Dragon Horse — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 18:32:33 +0000

It all began as notes on the back of a napkin in 2015 and now the successful Naples-based business is taking over Santa Monica, California.

Dragon Horse Agency has grown to about 25 clients and 15 employees. It has two office locations in Florida and recently opened a location in Santa Monica at 100 Wilshire Building.

“Given Los Angeles’ depth and diversity of industry, resources, talent and top universities, DHA’s presence in Los Angeles will allow Dragon Horse to expand and also enhance our platform, offering the best and most comprehensive products and services to our clients, while bolstering our unwavering commitment to excellence and delivering the exceptional in terms of quality, professional expertise, reach and cost,” says Patrick Blake Renda, Dragon Horse Agency’s co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer.

The new location sits right in what is considered the epicenter of the creative capital of the world. Some have even referred to it as Wall Street West. Once the potential in L.A. was realized, it became an objective for Dragon Horse to open an office there to expand its services and brand.

“It was very serendipitous, the planets aligned,” says Koester, Dragon Horse co-founder, noting that they also have clients in L.A. and have been building their clientele in southern California.

Dragon Horse Agency works to attract the best talent possible and is proud of its growth and its team. “We have a terrific family of dragons and baby dragons,” Renda says. “We have one of our staff members who has been with us for five years, starting as an intern and has now grown to be our social media manager. She has grown in her capability and professionalism—now she has her own office at headquarters. That is the kind of culture we promote here at Dragon Horse.”
