The GBM Life – Ambar A

What’s your role at GoldenBird and what does a typical day look like for you?
Account and Operations Coordinator. Basically, a little bit of everything! I’m the one creating content calendars, keeping an eye on our system automations, and tackling whatever unexpected projects pop up.
What’s the best part of working at GoldenBird?
The total autonomy. I love having the freedom to work whenever and however I want. But the real best part? Getting to work alongside my sister and my comadre every single day.
What’s something about social media that most people get wrong?
That it’s just a digital playground. Let’s be real: social media is a powerful, primary sales channel.
What’s the best piece of advice you’d give a business owner about their social media?
Consistency is everything. You need a reliable posting cadence, a cohesive visual aesthetic, and a defined brand tone. If your feed looks messy or chaotic, people aren’t going to follow, interact, or connect with you.
What platform do you think is the most underrated for businesses?
TikTok!!!
Hot Takes
Instagram or TikTok, pick one forever.
TikTok.
Reels or carousels, which performs better in your opinion?
Carousels with videos mixed into them. It’s the ultimate engagement cheat code.
Is posting every day actually necessary? Be honest.
Honestly? It depends entirely on your goals and your specific target audience. Quality and strategy over quantity, always.
What’s one thing businesses post that makes you cringe?
Blatantly obvious AI-generated photos, or low-res phone pictures slapped with messy, mismatched Instagram Story text. Please, just don’t!

How did you get into social media?
I’ve been fully immersed in social media since day one of my marketing career. When you start out in a digital marketing agency, it becomes your entire world right out of the gate!
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?
I love the cozy side of life, including cooking and homemaking, and I dream of being a mom one day. But at the exact same time, I am deeply ambitious. I fully intend to be a corporate powerhouse, like a CMO or Marketing Manager for a major global corporation. You can absolutely do both!
What’s your go-to order at a coffee shop?
An Iced Caramel Macchiato with extra caramel. (Yes, I have a massive sweet tooth).

It depends on the day, but I’m definitely more of a morning person!
