Shaun Elley
Founder/President
Shaun was born and raised in Windsor, Colorado - Home to the largest FFA in America (or at least it was when he graduated) complete with drive your tractor to school today. Shaun escaped the rural life and went to college in Boulder, where he was introduced to the world of digital marketing and immediately knew that was the career path for him. After graduating from CU he eventually settled in the beautiful city of Denver and started in the PPC world. After working his way up at a local Ecommerce agency he decided in 2020 it was time to fulfill his life-long entrepreneurial dream and started Blue Ox Digital. When not at the office dominating the ping-pong table, Shaun enjoys the Colorado outdoors and slowly working down what seems to be a never ending project list at his house.

Manager of PPC
Rachel was born and raised in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs (home to the best zoo in America).

Layla Elley
Barketing Manager
Layla is one of Blue Ox Digital’s founding employees, who has been an employee since Blue Ox’s beginnings in 2021. Most days when she’s at the office, Layla can be found participating in client meetings, snoozing under desks, and looking pretty and professional in her doggy bed. While it may seem like Layla spends a lot of time sleeping on the job, she is a very good girl and an essential part of the Blue Ox Digital team and our company culture. Her skills of expertise include making puppy dog eyes and asking for head pats. Layla always has a smile on her face even though she might not have many teeth remaining. Layla self-identifies as a Hufflepuff due to her loyal and kind nature. Her favorite indulgences are French fries and steak, though she is currently in her fit doggo era. All company complaints can be handled with Layla, who takes this role very seriously between her naps.
