A sextant is a marine navigational tool used to measure the angular distance between a point on the horizon and a celestial body. It is used to determine a navigator’s position and in the 18th through early 20th centuries, helped ships find their way on long voyages.
The historical instrument has since been replaced by more advanced technology, but the principal remains the same. If you know where you are, where you want to go, and what True North is, you can find your way.

Rich with History & Inspiration (and Amazing Coffee)
Sextant Marketing is centrally located in the heart of Tampa’s historic Latin District. Florida’s only National Historic Landmark District on the West Coast offers a unique blend of walkability, amenities, community support, and of course the BEST café con leche, making it the perfect “home port” for Sextant. This is where we come together to brainstorm, to create, to work as a tight-knight crew prepared to help students and universities chart a course to success.
And don’t be surprised to hear the horn and rumbling sound of a train or the crow of a rooster during a meeting.

Historic District
Ybor City was founded in 1885 by Vicente Martinez-Ybor. Vicente was a Cuban cigar maker who brought the craft of cigar making and a group of Cuban and Spanish immigrants to the neighborhood of Tampa that would eventually bear his name.
The Sextant office itself is located where once stood a restaurant that offered a warm welcome, free rations, and maybe even kitchen knives to Cuban exiles plotting for independence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”50″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”0″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ back_color=”color-wayh” overlay_alpha=”100″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ shift_y=”0″ style=”inherited”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”4″ style=”dark” back_color=”color-116392″ overlay_alpha=”100″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”3″ mobile_width=”0″ css_animation=”zoom-in” animation_delay=”200″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ width=”1/3″][vc_icon icon=”fa fa-ship” icon_color=”color-xsdn” size=”fa-4x” align=”” title=”Bustling Port”]Steps away from Florida’s largest port (by size and tonnage), Ybor is filled with tourists arriving and departing on cruise ships hailing from around the world.

Hand-Rolled Cigars
When Vicente relocated his burned cigar factory from Key West to Tampa, he brought along a group of Cuban and Spanish immigrants. They were later joined by Sicilian-Italian immigrants, many of whom learned the art of hand rolling cigars.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”100″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”3″ mobile_width=”0″ css_animation=”zoom-in” animation_delay=”400″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ width=”1/3″ mobile_height=”260″][vc_column_text]
What makes Ybor the right place for our business?
Maybe it’s the supportive, growing community of businesses moving into the neighborhood. Or, it’s the walkability that gives us all a chance to get outside and be inspired. Perhaps it’s the local shop where we meet for Cuban coffee to chat about our goals for the week. The open floor plans, creative spaces, and balconies bring us together to collaborate.
With new boutique hotels, eclectic restaurants, and a central location Ybor City is the perfect place to be for visiting clients.

Clucky Neighbors
Legally protected by Tampa’s Bird Sanctuary Law, Ybor’s own flock of roosters and hens are descendents of the chickens brought to Tampa by Vincente himself.
