Who is HLJ Marketing?

Hi, I’m Hayley Louise Johnson- a digital marketing specialist with over 10 years of experience helping businesses achieve real results.

I’ve worked across industries like e-commerce, cosmetics, finance, industrial, wellness, and more, managing ad campaigns that deliver measurable growth.  

I started my performance marketing career agency-side, working with brands like BrewDog, Victoria’s Secret, and Amazon Prime Video, handling multi-million-pound budgets and leading cross-channel strategies.

Now, as a freelance consultant, I bring that big-brand experience to businesses of all shapes and sizes, creating bespoke strategies that work.  

I focus on practical, effective marketing: campaigns that drive leads, improve ROI, and make a tangible impact.

Whether it’s paid search, social ads, social media or an overarching digital strategy, I’m all about delivering results that matter to your business.

  • Today: Working with businesses across the world, achieving consistent growth through data-driven strategies and constant optimisations. I’ve managed everything from start-up accounts to high-profile campaigns, adapting to each client’s needs and goals.

It’s about more than just clicks & sales – it’s about delivering real, lasting impact.
