PAPER JACKET MARKETING, LLC
LAND O' LAKES, FLORIDA

It was the summer of 2012 when the founders of Paper Jacket, John and Jeremy Hicks, were enjoying some espresso, discussing how they should one day begin a company that combined their strengths of marketing, experience, and passion. Many ideas were tossed around, until finally they realized that this journey was nothing new. They had always been thinking outside the box and doing creative stuff since they were kids. One memory, in particular, was when on a rainy day John and Jeremy decided to do something…a little unorthodox… Out of the blue, John and Jeremy picked up a bunch of old newspaper and furiously began folding, taping and cutting (making a huge mess that “Mother” did not appreciate). Little did they know that what he was constructing was an omen of what was to come for the two brothers! After some time, Jeremy was dressed in his very own, custom-tailored suit. Only it was a suit–pants, tie, and jacket–that was made completely out of paper. It was a sign that the Hicks brothers would one day be working together to push the boundaries of creativity, strategy, and fun that is now known as Paper Jacket Marketing.
