We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Amber, how do you define success?
Success is when you go after your dreams and follow your passions. It’s so many levels to success!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’ve always been passionate about following my passions. I have always loved helping others but I never knew exactly what I wanted to do career wise. I started a marketing agency that allows me to do way more than the average agency. Think of it as a one stop shop for elevating yourself and your brand. Being creative comes naturally to me. So being able to offer services such as creative development, social media management and brand identity allows me to do so. I started this agency in 2019 and in less than a year I was able to leave all of my part-time jobs and focus on Social Gourmet full time. It was NOT easy! A lot of long nights, NO’s, check to check months, distractions and much more. The one thing that kept me going was God. I had to learn how to accept everything for what it is. You can only control your actions and if someone or something happens it is meant to teach you a lesson and propel you forward. My story is that you can do ANYTHING! No one can tell you what you are capable of, No one can control your future, and Nothing is impossible. Never let anything or anyone put you in a box, you can do it all!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite spots in the city is definitely food spots. Anyplace with a great music, food and scenery.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My biggest motivation and encouragement is my family. They are soooo supportive and loving. Whenever I need them they are always there!
