About our name: “la neta” is a Mexican slang term that can mean “the nature of things” or something that is considered a universal truth. It is used similarly (although more often) to how the word “legit” is used in English.

Ambar is a queer Mexican American strategist and creative focused on utilizing community power to advance social justice issues. Ambar is passionate about creative storytelling in the advocacy space and empowering leaders and organizations to build powerful brands and campaigns. 

Living between a rural town in Vermont and CDMX, Ambar’s mother was an immigrant raising four kids who often struggled to make ends meet in this country. Working alongside her from a young age inspired Ambar to question and begin fighting the systemic structures and injustices that harm and oppress many communities. 

Ambar has over twelve years of experience working in design and marketing. She began her first consulting firm nearly ten years ago, where they developed creative marketing campaigns for startups in Los Angeles. During this work, she became dedicated to social justice and consulting for nonprofits. In 2018, Ambar launched Neta to build a space for similar-minded team members with social justice, electoral, creative, and marketing experience who are dedicated to providing organizations with important creative, marketing, and advocacy capacity and resources. 

Ambar is proud to be an art school dropout who has dedicated her career to continuous learning and advancing her professional expertise. In 2023, Ambar completed the LBAN at Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative - Education: Scaling Up Your Venture. Ambar is a Tory Burch Foundation Entrepreneur and a 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival Fellow.
