Josh Harcus and Sara Harcus Co-Owners of Huify
We love inbound marketing because we’ve seen the results it provides for us and for our clients. Lead conversion rates are significantly higher than industry averages when a company serves as a resource and not a soapbox. Founded in 2012, we are a gallant group of skilled individuals who are passionate about what we do. Our team has an abundance of variety, with backgrounds in marketing, writing, and graphic design. Our office is located in coastal Wilmington, NC. When not hard at work you’ll find Hüify members lurking in the nearby coffee shop, lounging in the company hammock, or conquering video games in the conference room. Josh serves as the Head of Inbound Strategy at Hüify. His experience has helped him steer Hüify in the direction of online marketing. Long gone are the fluffy vanity metrics as a means for indicating success – Josh has turned the company’s focus to genuine, measurable, and attainable outcomes that help take Hüify’s clients beyond the stagnating threshold of mediocrity and into new levels of reach for their brand. Josh began to capitalize on his talent for performing at a young age with the start of his first company, Magik Productions. After growing his company and professionally busking for 12 years, Josh added DJ’ing to his business arsenal, which he used to pull off the largest student-led event in UNCW history. Over 2,500 students attended the event, which was organized completely through Facebook. The success of this event testified to the growing magnitude of social media’s effect on human interaction. Josh has consulted brands such as Car and Driver, Springer Global Publishing, and Compact Power Equipment Rental. He has also spoken at conferences alongside Google, Facebook, Bing, and Hubspot. Sara Harcus graduated from UNCW with a B.S. in Chemistry in December 2012. On that same day she married her husband and best friend, Josh Harcus. She now owns and operates Hüify with Josh as the Head of Content Development. The analytical training she received at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UNCW has helped contribute to Hüify’s overall mission of decreasing the cost of acquiring new customers for their clients.
