Meet the team: Emma Brock - Head of Marketing

It’s time for our next Meet the Team instalment, and this time we’re taking you to the Marketing Department to meet our Head of Marketing, Emma. Originally from Cardiff, Emma studied Visual Communications in London, and has worked in Sydney and Dubai before settling down in the South West, a place that her and her husband had always dreamed of living.

Where are you from?

Cardiff, Wales. Even after living away most of my adult life it’s somewhere I’ll always call home.

How long have you been working at Mercedes-Benz South West?

Six years, which have flown by.

Favourite Mercedes-Benz model?

The G-Class. I lived in Dubai for two years and was lucky enough to go on more than a few desert and off-road adventures. Seeing a G-Wagon in Dubai was the norm, seeing them now always brings back memories of fun times.

Most memorable day at work you’ve ever had?

I’ve been lucky enough to have rather a few, but the most memorable are those shared with the team, I just love the comradery.

Favourite part of the job?

I love the creativity of working in Marketing, but as a manager my favourite part of the job is seeing people grow, overcome challenges, and flourish.

What’s your favourite animal?

Pretty much any baby animal, especially the fluffy ones, they are too cute.

What’s your favourite place to visit in the South West?

I’m lucky enough to have lived next to Dartmoor for almost eight years and it’s still one of my go-to places. Another favourite is the North Coast of Devon, I’ve run the entire coastline and have some lovely memories of looking out to sea and seeing the Welsh Coastline looking back at me at sunrise.

What’s your go-to song or radio station to listen to in the car? 

I’m a bit of a picker and a chooser, but one go to is Capital Dance or any of the 90s radio stations.

How many attempts did it take you to pass your driving test?

Oh dear… I was a bit of a late starter when it comes to driving, which was probably why it took three times.

What’s your favourite film?

That’s a tough one, but it would have to be something I grew up with, Grease, Dirty Dancing  The Goonies, Lost Boys, or Stand By Me. I could watch any of these all day long.

What’s at the top of your bucket list?

I’ve got a few, to see the Northern Lights, to go on a safari, and to run the Dragons Back, the Spine of Wales.

What would be your Karaoke song?

Anything from Grease or Dirty Dancing, because they’re the only songs I actually know all the words too.

Tipple of choice?

Probably a cup of Chai Tea these days.

First concert you ever went to?

Oh how embarrassing, I think it was a Radio One concert, which me and my best friend attended at Barry Island when Peter Andre was headlining.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

My brother is getting married this year, which is very exciting.
