“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” Christopher Amos, the Owner and Chief Digital Architect of No Boundaries Marketing Group, lives by these words from Will Rogers. For Chris, persistence is crucial—no matter how tough the journey or how solitary the path may feel.
Though Christopher Amos is now a well-established marketing professional, his career path was anything but typical. After graduating, he entered the financial industry, lured by the high salaries. However, the constant pressure and corporate structure didn’t resonate with him, and he soon realized that a cubicle-based job wasn’t his calling.
During a lunch meeting with a friend in the telecom marketing sector, Amos found an unexpected opportunity. His friend invited him to consider a career in marketing, and even though he had job security in finance, Chris chose to take the leap. He thrives in environments where creativity and collaboration lead to growth, and this shift felt like the right move.
Once in marketing, Chris quickly found his footing. With a solid background in business and marketing, he excelled in the industry. Looking back, he says, “I’ve been fortunate to have a career where I’ve worked with some of the brightest minds in marketing and advertising.”
Chris believes that there’s no universal solution for every business. Every company has its own strengths and challenges, and as a marketing strategist, his role is to highlight what works and improve what doesn’t. This tailored approach has earned him a strong reputation in the marketing world.
At No Boundaries Marketing Group, Chris leads a tightly-knit team that he describes as “marketing and advertising rockstars.” Each member contributes diverse expertise, ranging from marketing skills to tech support and small business insights. Together, they collaborate to provide creative, customized marketing solutions for their clients.
Chris sees himself not only as a leader but also as a mentor, helping his team members grow professionally. “I challenge my team to think creatively, solve problems, and communicate effectively,” he says. Ensuring his team has the resources they need to succeed is a priority, and watching them thrive is a source of pride for him.
No Boundaries Marketing Group stands apart from typical marketing agencies. Launched just before the pandemic, the company saw rapid growth, doubling its revenue within the first year. Chris attributes this success to their focus on helping clients. “True success comes from helping other businesses grow,” he explains.
The pandemic posed unprecedented challenges for businesses, forcing many to pivot toward digital solutions. Chris saw this as an opportunity. By leveraging social media marketing, e-commerce strategies, and data-driven approaches, No Boundaries Marketing Group stayed ahead of the curve and outpaced the competition.
Chris draws strength and inspiration from his wife, Joleen Amos, who is not only his life partner but also the co-owner of No Boundaries Marketing Group. He describes Joleen as both resilient and deeply compassionate, with an unwavering commitment to their clients, team, and community. Together, they face both personal and professional challenges, forming a powerful team.
Chris urges others to follow what brings them joy, even if it means taking risks. He admits there were moments when he thought about returning to his finance career for stability but reflects on the countless opportunities and achievements that came from choosing a different path.
His words of wisdom: “Stay focused on your goals. Take time to reflect, adapt, and persevere. Never stop striving to achieve your dreams.”
