Amber Brock: Helping Small Businesses Thrive Through Authentic Marketing

Amber Brock's story is not your typical Silicon Valley startup saga or a tale of overnight success. It's a narrative deeply rooted in small-town Texas, enriched by a fondness for storytelling and a passion for empowering local businesses. As the Founder and Creative Strategist of Mulberry Marketing Company , Amber has carved a unique niche in the competitive marketing landscape, focusing on the Architecture, Engineering, and Contractor (A/E/C) sector. Her approach prioritizes the human element at the core of business success. With a firm dedication to authenticity, Amber builds marketing strategies that not only reflect the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs but also resonate with the aspirations of real people.    

Discovering the Power of Storytelling   

Growing up in a community where big-box stores chipped away at the lifeblood of local businesses, Amber witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of small-town entrepreneurs. This instilled in her a deep appreciation for the dedication and resilience it takes to build something meaningful from the ground up. After college, Amber moved to Austin and started her career in accounting at Artisan Hardwood Floors, a small family business. Surrounded by a team of craftsmen and exquisite hardwood interiors, Amber recognized a powerful story waiting to be told. It wasn't just about selling wood, but forging connections and re-establishing Artisan as a trusted expert in their industry.   

While the practicality of accounting initially drew her in, the stories behind the numbers truly captured her imagination. This fascination with human motivation, coupled with her artistic leanings, ultimately led her to marketing—a field that blends data with creativity, offering a perfect marriage of her diverse interests.   

In an industry dominated by traditional gender roles, Amber often found herself as the only woman in the room, frequently expected to make coffee - though she rarely complied. However, her determination and passion for marketing propelled her forward. She became a valued member of Artisan's leadership team, a thought leader within the A/E/C sector, and, ultimately, Head of Marketing and Business Development. For over a decade, Amber immersed herself in the world of marketing for small A/E/C businesses, gaining invaluable insights and honing her skills.
