Tex Barker CEO of UNHOOKED.AI Business AI Solutions3

TEX

Tex Barker is an entrepreneur and marketing architect based in Manhattan Beach, California.

He bootstrapped, built, operated, and sold brands by pairing sharp strategy with relentless execution. Before UNHOOKED, he led growth across real estate, e-commerce, publishing, and charters—launching systems that made phones ring and carts ping. 

Who is Tex Barker

Tex Barker is an entrepreneur and marketing architect based in Manhattan Beach, California.

Before founding and scaling companies, he cut his teeth in Mexican politics, running marketing campaigns for candidates through 2015. After that, he pivoted hard into business—building, operating, and selling brands that moved millions by pairing sharp strategy with relentless execution.

Tex has bootstrapped, launched and exited several six- and seven-figure ventures, including Velitex Real Estate Group; Night Owl Liquors (a pre-UberEats era liquor-delivery startup); Barker Publishing (founded in 2018 and sold in 2024, growing to 33 employees while serving independent authors); and Ozean Charters, an online yacht and private-jet charter company in Cabo built and sold in 2025.

Across every venture, his edge has been full-stack growth mastery: Google Ads, SEO, AEO, geo-targeting, online funnels, content engines, AI automations, and AI-driven media production.

He’s also an author. His first children’s book, Jax To The Rescue (2021), follows Jax—his real dog—on missions to help stray dogs find loving homes, inspired by the Res-Q-Us Foundation, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit he co-founded. His next title, Waves of Friendship, about an 8-year-old surfer named Luk and a talking turtle, Tiko, is slated for late 2025.

In 2025, Tex and his sister, Denisse, launched UNHOOKED | AI Marketing Agency.

The agency builds high-end campaigns, media productions, and AI automations for mid-market and enterprise teams ready to scale. UNHOOKED’s fast, sales-first model: launch in about three weeks, then improve weekly with simple, human reporting.

Born in 1986, Tex has lived in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Cabo, and Mexico City. He’s a snowboarder and golf fan who believes the best marketing is human, hybrid with AI engines.

Favorite metric: booked conversations with real buyers.

DENISSE BARKER CFO AND COFOUNDER UNHOOKED.AI

DENISSE

Strategy that scales. Denisse Barker—Accenture marketing director and co-founder of UNHOOKED—builds high-end campaigns, media, and AI automations for teams that want measurable growth, not guesswork. Mexico City–based. Diver. Builder. Relentlessly outcome-driven.

Who is Denisse Barker

Denisse Barker is a Mexico City–born business consultant and marketing director at Accenture, where she helps enterprise teams turn strategy into measurable growth. A sharp operator with a builder’s mindset, she’s worked across go-to-market, performance marketing, and AI-enabled transformation—bridging brand, data, and execution to move real numbers.

In 2025, Denisse and her brother, Tex, co-founded Barker Brothers LLC (BarkerBros.ai)—a tribute to their father, Arthur Barker, who passed away from COVID in 2020. BarkerBros.ai is based in Manhattan Beach, California, with branch offices in Los Angeles and Miami (United States), and San Jose Del Cabo and Mexico City (Mexico). The agency develops high-end campaigns, media productions, and AI automations for mid-market and enterprise companies ready to scale.

Born on April 30, 1988, and based in Mexico City, Denisse is as comfortable in deep strategy as she is in deep water: she loves scuba diving with sharks, traveling, mountain biking, and hiking—and unwinds with her fiancé whenever she’s not on a trail or a plane.

What our partners
feel after launch

  • Your mornings start with booked calls, not inbox triage

  • A one-page weekly brief shows what moved money and what we’ll change next

  • Evenings feel lighter because follow-ups run themselves

  • Your team works deals, not guesswork

OUR COMPANY STORY

We started UNHOOKED after seeing teams drown in meetings, decks, and dashboards that didn’t move sales. We kept what works—fast launches, clean pages, and instant replies—and cut what doesn’t. Today we serve brands across the U.S. and beyond with one simple promise: ship first, improve weekly, and talk like humans.

OUR PROMISE

If we miss the leading indicators we plan together in 90 days, we work at no additional fee until we hit them or credit your next month.

Clear. Human. Fair.

OUR VALUES

Clarity: plain words win

Speed: launch to learn

Care: treat every dollar like our own

Ownership: build real assets you keep

Proof: show work, show change, show results

START NOW

We’ll build a plan that makes sense for your sales goals, timeline, and resources.

No messing around. No hidden fees.

  1. United States
    You need buyers who are ready now. We set up search and social so they find you, then give them a fast path to book or buy. Our assistant answers in seconds and saves your evenings. Clean pages. Clear next steps. A real lift in calls and orders without extra staff.

    Canada
     Across provinces, trust and clarity win. We tune the message for your market, run focused campaigns, and add an assistant that books meetings in English or French when needed. You’ll feel the lift in answered inquiries and a lighter inbox in week one after launch.

    Mexico
     Move fast and keep it simple. We launch focused campaigns in Spanish or English and wire an assistant that answers leads after hours. Your page makes the next step clear. The result: more booked calls and less time chasing messages.

    Argentina
     Markets swing, but people still want quick answers. We build a clean page, tight campaigns, and an assistant that keeps chats alive while you work. Expect a steadier flow of real conversations and fewer dead ends.

     Different regions, same goal: make it easy to say yes. We align your message, launch tidy campaigns, and add an assistant that books without fuss. Your time goes to customers, not admin.

    United Kingdom
     Proof beats promises. We ship a simple funnel that shows up where people search, then helps them book now—not “someday.” The assistant handles first replies so your team stays on deals, not inbox triage.

    Australia
     Time zones shouldn’t cost you leads. We run ads on your hours and add an assistant that works while you sleep. You wake up to booked calls, not missed chances. Clean, calm, steady.
