On autumn nights in 1944, more than 70,000 Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians slipped into the Baltic’s cold darkness, steering overloaded fishing boats toward neutral Sweden as the Red Army returned. Eighty years later, their descendants gather on Gotland’s beaches and Tallinn Bay to honor the perilous voyage, preserve family stories, and reflect on how that flight still shapes Nordic culture and identity.

The European Union – a bloc of 27 member states with roughly 449 million people – is the world’s second-largest economy, at about $19.9 trillion GDP (nominal, forecast 2025). By comparison, the United States alone (~336 million people) boasts roughly $27.4 trillion GDP (2023).

A polished bio and a slick headshot might get you noticed once—but they won’t make people remember you, trust you, or seek you out when stakes are high. The leaders and creatives who turn their names into magnets play a deeper, longer game. They obsess over the subtle signals most of us ignore—the mindset behind the message, the reputation behind the logo, the microscopic favicon in a crowded browser tab.

In 2015, co-founders P. Blake Renda and Julie W. Koester were huddled around a kitchen table in Naples, Florida, sketching plans for a different marketing agency. They had a bold vision: a one-stop firm blending rigorous business strategy with full-service, white glove business marketing services under one roof. Fast-forward to today, and that kitchen-table startup—Dragon Horse Agency—has grown into a multi-award-winning international firm with offices in Florida and California.
