Parker’s Brick Builds

Parker’s Brick Builds provides a different way to market branded products. Created by the owner, Parker Owens, they custom design marketing products for businesses who want to give potential clients not just an item, but an experience with their brand. Instead of everyday swag like keychains, stress balls or coozies, Parker’s Brick Builds sells branded building kits that can showcase anything a company would want. Parker grew up in Noel, Missouri, and believes building his business here enables him to grow with Springfield, Missouri, and he’s loving every minute of it. Not only is Parker’s Brick Builds locally owned, but all design, printing and order fulfillment happens locally, too.

“Anyone can hand a potential client a phone charger or notepad with their logo on it. All of that just blends together. We want to make branded experiences. When someone gets a building set, they’ll spend time building it and interacting directly with your brand while doing a fun, memorable activity,” says Owens. “We can take a base design for a client and alter it for specific clients, events, shows or occasions.”

Parker’s Brick Builds can create seamless builds that fit into any company’s niche. For example, Parker’s team has created golf carts for various tournaments and courses, all branded with logos on the canopy of the cart. Their client list and portfolio show a wide variety of notable companies and builds: scale semi-trucks for Convoy of Hope, miniature banks for U.S. Bank, a traveling truck for T-Mobile, large office statues for retailers across Missouri and more. 

“People, especially Gen Z, don't want items, they want experiences,” says Owens. In fact, the inspiration for Parker’s Brick Builds began back in 2021 when Owens did a social media post about a building set that portrayed a literal dumpster fire with the headline, “Greatest Lego Set Ever.” This post gained nearly 2 million views in less than a week with hundreds of requests for the kit that didn’t actually exist at the time. Later, Owens took his idea to the next level to win first place at the Mizzou Entrepreneur Quest. He went on to be one of 12 finalists  in the Regnier Fellowship at UMKC and was one of only 14 entrepreneurs in the country to be invited by the SEC to participate in the SEC Pitch Competition. Since then, the idea has remained the same—to design marketing products for businesses that are branded building kits.

Parker’s Brick Builds has gained nationwide notoriety, and products are currently in 46 states with over 155 retail locations selling his nonbranded products. Owens says he’s “along for the ride of rapid growth,” stating the growth over the past two years has been spectacular, with his retail presence growing by nearly 400% since January 2024. Once the financial investment of this startup was met, all profits have been reinvested back into the business to support a full-time employee, two part-time employees and raw expenses. Owens is committed to getting up early and working late to get the job done during this growth phase. With every new client comes new requests and specifications for products, and he works directly with the clients to ensure that every minor detail is perfect before a product is finalized.

Owens is happy to have a conversation with any business that would like a customized marketing product building kit. To start a conversation, email him at
