Meet the Owner
Hi, I'm Haley Jones, Ph.D. - a local Iredell County marketer who helps busineses grow through smart, creative digital marketing.
​
Whether you're a small shop or an established company, I'm here to help you connect with your customers, tell your story and get results. With nearly 10 years of experience in marketing (plus a Ph.D. and a genuine love for storytelling), I know how to create content that actually works - not just looks pretty.​
​
I founded HLJ Marketing, LLC because I believe local businesses deserve professional marketing that's affordable, effective, and tailored to your goals. Think of me as your specialized generalist: I can help with a little bit of everything from social media and content creation to strategy and analytics.
