In today’s oversaturated digital landscape, where thousands of agencies promise the same recycled strategies, one firm has broken through the noise with a level of execution and intelligence that’s impossible to ignore. Vanguard Marketing & Branding, co-founded by Jacob Logan, Shiraz Bardakjian, and Carter Cooke, has quickly become the go-to growth engine for ambitious businesses that are done playing small.
With its roots in Florida and a rapidly growing presence across the U.S. and abroad, Vanguard has positioned itself as far more than a traditional marketing agency. It’s a full-scale business accelerator — built to scale startups into real companies, and transform established brands into category dominators.
“Working with Vanguard felt like strapping a jet engine to my brand,” said one client, reflecting the high-performance results that have become synonymous with the firm’s work.
A Founding Team Built for War
The agency’s rapid rise can be directly traced back to the synergy between its three founders.
- Jacob Logan, a master of brand psychology and narrative design, is the mind behind the agency’s identity-driven approach. His ability to create brand ecosystems that feel elite has made him one of the most in-demand strategists in the emerging business world.
- Shiraz Bardakjian, known for his operational sharpness and relentless focus on execution, ensures every campaign is delivered with precision. He leads client success and systems integration with the kind of attention to detail that makes seven-figure scale not just possible — but predictable.
- Carter Cooke is the architect of Vanguard’s digital infrastructure. From advanced ad systems to funnel design and automation, he’s built a backend engine that allows Vanguard’s clients to dominate attention and convert it into revenue — on autopilot.
Together, this trio doesn’t just offer marketing services — they offer a path to power.
“Jacob and his team aren’t just experts — they’re assassins in the marketing game. They saw angles I never would’ve thought of,” shared another client.
More Than Marketing — It’s a Growth System
What separates Vanguard from the endless stream of agencies out there is its full-spectrum methodology. Rather than focusing on just content or ads, Vanguard builds complete growth infrastructures from the ground up.
Their services are stacked with intention, offering everything a brand needs to go from cluttered and confusing to clean, compelling, and cash-flowing:
- Brand Identity Architecture: Custom visual design, positioning frameworks, and copy that commands respect.
- Paid Advertising: Sophisticated campaign buildouts across Meta, TikTok, Google, and YouTube.
- Funnel Creation + Automation: Seamless customer journeys from first touch to purchase — optimized at every step.
- CRM Integration & Lead Systems: Automated follow-ups, sales pipelines, and backend tracking that convert cold traffic into lifetime customers.
- Web Design & Conversion Strategy: High-performance websites that aren’t just beautiful — they’re built to close.
Every element is tied into a bespoke Marketing Blueprint — a proprietary system Vanguard builds for each client to deliver scalable, measurable outcomes. This is not generic “one-size-fits-all” execution. This is tailored warfare.
“They built us a brand that made us look like we already ‘made it’ — then helped us actually get there,” said another client.
The Psychology of Prestige
What also sets Vanguard apart is its understanding of perception engineering. This agency doesn’t just generate leads — it builds brands that command trust, pricing power, and emotional resonance.
Their work with luxury brands, nightlife ventures, automotive brokerages, and hospitality empires proves that they know how to market high-ticket services with precision. And that skill has translated to explosive results across every industry they touch — from liquor startups in India to car rental companies in Miami.
When asked about their philosophy, Logan puts it simply:
“We don’t just build brands — we build machines that scale.”
Results-Driven, Reputation-Proven
Their roster of testimonials speaks volumes:
“Every meeting felt like I was stepping into a war room with generals who had my back.”
“Vanguard made us feel like the next big thing — and then made everyone else believe it too.”
“These guys don’t miss. Every deliverable, every strategy call, every ad campaign — it’s just different when you work with people who actually care about your outcome.”
A New Class of Agency
In a world where marketing has become diluted, overpromised, and underdelivered, Vanguard Marketing & Branding stands as a new class of agency — one that treats marketing not as an expense, but as a calculated investment with returns.
Their process is unapologetically bold. Their style is elite. And their results speak for themselves.
If you’re a founder looking to break through your current ceiling, or a brand ready to evolve into a category king — Vanguard isn’t just a service provider. They’re the growth partner built for your next level.
