When it comes to marketing, authenticity is everything. And for us at Rep Lock Marketing, nothing feels more authentic—or exciting—than being recognized in EASTside Magazine, a publication that’s as much a part of the Austin community as breakfast tacos and live music.
This feature is a moment to celebrate, not just for our team but for every local business we’ve had the privilege to work with. It’s also a great opportunity to share our story, highlight what makes us different, and thank the Austin community for supporting us every step of the way.
So, pull up a chair, and let’s dive into what makes Rep Lock Marketing tick and why this recognition is a testament to our mission of helping local businesses thrive.

From Local Roots to Local Marketing Experts
Every business has a story, and ours begins right here in Austin. Rep Lock Marketing was born out of a simple idea: that marketing agencies should feel like a true partner, not just a vendor. We wanted to create a team that understood the unique challenges of running a local business and offered solutions tailored to our neighbors—not generic templates or cookie-cutter campaigns.
Our founders, including our Director of Marketing and Co-Founder, Bray Taylor, are proud Austinites who know the ins and outs of this community. With over 15 years of experience in digital marketing, Bray has a deep understanding of what it takes to make businesses stand out in a competitive landscape.
But it’s not just about expertise; it’s about heart. From day one, we’ve focused on building relationships with our clients, listening to their goals, and working alongside them to create strategies that deliver real results.
The Rep Lock Difference: Grit, Data, and Heart
When EASTside Magazine described us as “blue-collar nerds,” we couldn’t have been more thrilled. It perfectly captures who we are: hardworking, hands-on, and unapologetically passionate about helping businesses succeed.
1. Hardworking Grit
We approach every project with a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality. Whether it’s a small mom-and-pop shop or a growing home services company, we put in the effort to truly understand their needs. Our goal isn’t just to create campaigns—it’s to build lasting partnerships.
2. Data-Driven Strategy
In the digital age, gut feelings only get you so far. That’s why we lean on data to inform every decision we make. From understanding audience behavior to optimizing ad performance, we use analytics to ensure our strategies are as effective as possible.
3. Neighborly Heart
At Rep Lock, we believe marketing isn’t just about selling—it’s about connecting. That’s why we take a neighborly approach, treating every client like a friend and every project like it’s personal.
This trifecta of grit, data, and heart is what sets us apart—and it’s what EASTside Magazine recognized in their feature.
What Being Featured in EASTside Magazine Means to Us
Being featured in EASTside Magazine is more than just an honor—it’s a moment of reflection and gratitude. As a business deeply rooted in Austin, we’ve always aimed to serve our community in a way that feels genuine and impactful.
EASTside’s recognition reinforces the idea that marketing isn’t just about ads and strategies; it’s about building relationships, solving problems, and helping local businesses thrive. To see our story shared in such a respected local publication reminds us why we do what we do: to make a difference for our neighbors.
