Built for ownership.
Plaid Park is an IP advisory and brokerage firm — built on two decades of Fortune 500 creative strategy and a personal stake in the work it represents. See how we engage.
The Practitioner
20+ years inside the Fortune 500.
Plaid Park is built on two decades of creative strategy at the Fortune 500 level, with leadership tenure inside the Omnicom network across consumer, retail, and entertainment categories.
That experience now serves a narrower brief: helping independent creators, brand owners, and rights holders identify, value, and monetize what they already own.
What We Do
Audit. Position. Broker.
We audit intellectual property, position it for the market, and represent owners in licensing deals, option agreements, and acquisitions — supported by full-lifecycle capabilities across strategy, product, sales, legal, and royalty management.

We believe the most enduring companies aren't built on services alone. They're built on ideas they own.
Founder
Askia Jones
Askia Jones spent over two decades at the highest levels of brand strategy and creative direction — leading work for Fortune 500 companies through some of the world's most respected agency networks, including Omnicom. He has built identity systems, launched campaigns, and shaped the creative infrastructure of brands that operate at a global scale.
When generative AI began compressing the traditional agency model, Askia didn't adapt — he pivoted with intention. He founded Plaid Park to do what agencies never could: build, own, and broker intellectual property with the same rigor he once applied to his clients' most valuable assets.
Today he works at the intersection of brand strategy, IP valuation, and creative brokerage — helping independent creators and rights holders understand what they own, protect it properly, and position it for the commercial opportunities it deserves.
"We find undervalued creative IP and help get it the deals it deserves."
Beyond the Agency
A practitioner with skin in the game.
Plaid Park isn't theoretical. The same instincts we bring to client work are the ones we use on our own IP — every day, in public.
Published IP Creator
Active titles, real audience, and firsthand experience navigating the economics of creator-owned work.
Indie Comic Community Voice
A public point of view on creator-owned economics, rights stewardship, and the realities of independent publishing.
Domain Portfolio Investor & Broker
Positions across category-defining names — treating digital real estate as a long-horizon asset class.
Trademark Owner
Multiple registered brands and properties under active stewardship, with working knowledge of the protection lifecycle.
Leveling the playing field
A significant part of what we do at Plaid Park is level the playing field for independent creators. The same strategic frameworks we applied to Fortune 500 brands are now available to indie comic creators, independent developers, and small IP owners who are ready to treat their work like the asset it actually is. We believe the next major franchise is probably sitting in someone's sketchbook right now — and we intend to help find it, value it, and get it where it belongs.
