Amber Frankhuizen founded AFMKTG [A-F-Marketing] in 2018 on an ironing board. After burning out as a VP of Sales & Marketing in the corporate world, she set out to take a few months off before getting back to work, but her phone rang with people asking for help with marketing and social media. She set up shop with a laptop and a makeshift standing desk and founded what is now a booming creative marketing agency. Through the development of a comprehensive mentorship program, Amber has pioneered an approach to help other business owners attract young talent through internship programs while perpetuating her mission to help as many young professionals get the coaching and guidance they need.
