Founded by entrepreneur Joshua Paul Hooks, the company brings together a leadership team with extensive experience in building, scaling, and exiting companies across multiple industries.

"Most marketing agencies focus on campaigns. We focus on building businesses," said John Aguilar, Chief Operating Officer of Iconic Brand Group. "As a Tampa-based business consulting firm, we bring real-world operator experience into every client engagement, helping companies grow with strategy, systems, and execution, not guesswork."

A Tampa Business Consulting Firm Built on Operator Experience

Iconic Brand Group differentiates itself from traditional marketing agencies and consulting firms by operating as an operator-led business consulting and marketing firm.

The leadership team includes:

  • Joshua Paul Hooks, Founder and CEO, a Tampa-based entrepreneur and business consultant known for scaling startups and advising companies across multiple industries
  • John Aguilar, Director of Operations, specializing in systems, logistics, and scalable business infrastructure
  • Brennen Lesser, Chief Marketing Officer, an expert in digital marketing strategy, paid media, and content-driven growth
  • Dean Pratt, Systems and Infrastructure Strategist, focused on building proprietary automation systems and scalable digital frameworks

In addition to its executive team, Iconic Brand Group is supported by an expansive advisory network of strategic partners, investors, and industry experts, giving clients access to capital connections, high-level strategy, and cross-industry expertise.

As a Florida-based consulting firm, Iconic Brand Group is rapidly expanding its footprint beyond Tampa, opening additional offices and working with clients across the United States.

How Iconic Brand Group Delivers Value To Its Clients

As a modern business consulting firm and marketing agency, Iconic Brand Group focuses on four core pillars of value:

Money
Driving revenue growth, reducing inefficiencies, and unlocking access to capital

Time
Accelerating results through proven business systems and frameworks

Risk Mitigation
Minimizing costly mistakes with operator-led strategy and execution

Status
Elevating brand authority and positioning clients as leaders in their markets

This approach reflects the firm's belief that successful businesses require aligned strategy, operations, and marketing, not siloed services or "one size fits all packages".

A Boutique Tampa Marketing Agency with National Reach

Unlike high-volume agencies, Iconic Brand Group operates as a boutique marketing agency and consulting firm, partnering with a select group of clients to ensure deeper engagement and stronger results.

"Our focus is not on how many clients we take on, but how much impact we create," said Brennen Lesser. "As a Tampa marketing agency, we integrate directly into our clients' businesses, aligning marketing with real business objectives."

With John Aguilar leading operational execution, the firm ensures that strategies are supported by scalable systems and efficient processes, allowing businesses to grow sustainably.

Services include:

  • Business consulting and growth strategy
  • Operational systems development and process optimization
  • Brand positioning and go-to-market strategy
  • Content creation and multimedia marketing
  • Paid advertising and performance marketing campaigns
  • Advanced programmatic SEO and website infrastructure

This full-service model positions Iconic Brand Group as a leading business consulting and marketing agency in Tampa, Florida, capable of delivering both strategy and execution under one roof.

Leveraging a Powerful Advisory Network for Client Success

Clients benefit from:

  • High-level business advisory support
  • Investor and capital connections
  • Strategic partnerships and introductions
  • Industry-specific expertise across multiple verticals

"Access to the right people can change the trajectory of a business," Pratt said. "Through our network, we help clients unlock opportunities that go far beyond traditional consulting or marketing services."
