There has always been a dream of a digital consulting agency that knew and could deliever exactly the work needed to achieve real business goals in the social and digital space. Joy founded Digital Halcyon to be just that consulting firm. Working with Marshall, they have evolved Hays Internet Marketing into a company that combines experience and insight with forsight to make digital and social experiences into a competitive advantage.
Founder / Managing Partner
As a self-described intrapreneur, Joy's career began on the technology and business management side and then shifted towards marketing with the majority of her career on the client side with such high profile employment as Worldwide Manager of Social Media for Texas Instruments, Chief Storyteller for AT&T, and Sr. Director of Digital Brand Strategy and Social Media for Capital One. As a sought out speaker, she has held keynote sessions on social media across the country. Joy was named one of the top 40 under 40 by Brand Innovators, won the PR News Social Media Icon Award and made the Social Media Today's "2017 Movers & Shakers List". She holds a BBA from Texas Christian University in International Marketing with minors in Computer Science and Japanese and a MS in E-commerce from University of Texas at Dallas.
Having moved to Virginia, Joy now understands how great the outdoors can be (minus the mosquitos) with her two little boys.
Partner
While obtaining his MBA from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, Marshall founded Hays Internet Marketing, Inc. in 1996 with one client, quickly followed by many more and offices full of web developers. The company had a whirlwind of media coverage for many years from the Wall Street Journal to a profile on CNN thanks to popular content websites the company created in the early dotcom days. Being a true gemini, Marshall has also been involved in other entrepreneur endeavors along the way, including online retailing, job boards, car washes, and even a gourmet food truck. Marshall even got to live out a childhood fantasy of becoming a co-host of a weekend radio talk show. He is currently serving as an entrepreneur mentor at Startup Virginia, a non-profit incubator for high growth technology companies.
