Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I thought I wanted to pursue a career in theatre, but once I landed a job as a marketing assistant at a popular South End restaurant, the rest was history.
I love using data and research to develop informed, exciting, and results-driven marketing campaigns that make people feel something. Storytelling has always been a passion of mine, and I enjoy translating business plans into effective, enchanting content and copy that brings people together.
Hayley Denker Marketing is a strategic marketing company that prioritizes client relationships and transparent analytics.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
My clients are always thrilled with the level of enthusiasm I bring to their brand — I get very passionate about my clients! But beyond that, we deliver results. We never start a project without clearly defining what success looks like.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
To get out of my own way. That’s my #1 resolution this year!
What is your favorite book?
Of all time?! Too hard to answer! I just read The Alice Network and loved it. I also love The Secrets of Six Figure Women, Start With Why, and You Are A Badass At Making Money.
What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, an organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)
Audible and my podcast app — always filled with educational things I want to learn. I make sure I’m continuously learning something new in my field so I can always deliver the best for my clients.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Don’t dumb yourself down for anyone. If someone doesn’t like you because you shine too bright, that’s their problem. There are plenty of amazing people who will love you exactly as you are!
How do you enjoy your free time?
Hanging with my kids — they are the best! I love doing crafts, hosting friends and family at my house (the door is literally always open), and listening to live music.
What is something that not many people know about you?
I worked as a character at Walt Disney World — and that’s where I met my husband!
