About Ember
Most agencies have never made payroll, never sat with a slow season, and never had to decide between a new hire and a new van. We have. Ember exists because we know what it's like to do everything alone, and we know what kind of marketing partner we always wished we had.
That partner tracks revenue, not vanity metrics. Answers the phone. Tells you the truth about what's working and what isn't. That's the agency we built.
Our Story
Ember wasn't started by career agency people looking for a niche. It was started by two business owners who learned marketing because their own businesses depended on it.
We started running our own businesses and learned the hard way what it means to wear every hat: sales, service, hiring, books, and marketing.
Between in-house and agency work, we've spent a combined 30+ years doing marketing professionally across hundreds of brands and local markets.
Ember brings both sides together: the operator's understanding of what a booked job is worth, and the marketer's playbook for getting more of them.
Leadership
Two founders, one standard: if it doesn't grow your revenue, we don't care how good it looks on a report.
Binh has been building and running businesses since 2008. His marketing career spans search, local SEO, and the operational systems that turn campaigns into booked jobs, built across hundreds of brand engagements.
Marvin has been an owner-operator since 2008 and a marketer for longer. He has built campaigns, brands, and demand programs for hundreds of companies, from single-truck operations to multi-location businesses.
What We Believe
Rankings, impressions, and clicks are just embers. They only matter if they fuel the outcome. We report on calls, booked jobs, and revenue.
We've sat in the owner's chair. We treat your budget the way we treat our own: skeptically, carefully, and with a bias toward what compounds.
We spent years doing everything ourselves. We know exactly where owners lose time and money on marketing. Our job is to take that weight off your plate.
Trends change. Google changes. AI is rewriting search. The businesses that win are built on fundamentals: visibility, trust, follow-up, and retention.
