The Rep Lock Story: From Small Business Hustle to Marketing Success

At Rep Lock Marketing, we don’t have a flashy story filled with corporate buzzwords or big-name clients. What we do have is a journey built on grit, resilience, and a deep understanding of what small businesses need to thrive. Our story is about real people solving real problems—and creating something extraordinary along the way.

How It All Began

In 2016, Benjamin Haugh found himself at a crossroads. As the owner of a Central Texas service company, Ben realized that traditional marketing methods—like Yellow Pages ads and relying on word-of-mouth—weren’t bringing in the customers they once did. Business was slowing down, and the competitive landscape was changing fast.

Ben didn’t have a background in marketing—his expertise was in running a service business. But when faced with the choice to adapt or fall behind, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

 Nights turned into early mornings as Ben immersed himself in SEO, PPC campaigns, and all things Google. Marketing became his second language—not by choice, but by necessity.

But as every small business owner knows, success doesn’t happen in isolation.

Building a Team of Problem Solvers

Chris Moreno is Ben’s literal “right-hand man” on the job site. He’s the guy you could always count on, whether it was tearing down drywall or managing a tough project. 

When Ben asked for help navigating the digital marketing world, Chris didn’t hesitate. He swapped his tools for a laptop and dove headfirst into online marketing courses. 

Chris quickly became a vital part of the operation, helping test strategies that started bringing in real results.

As the two continued to build momentum, Ben knew they needed someone with both business marketing expertise and a deep appreciation for small business challenges. That’s when he called on his longtime friend, Bray Taylor.

 With years of experience in both small-scale and corporate marketing—and a lifetime spent watching his father run a small business—Bray brought a unique blend of strategy and empathy to the team. His insights elevated what Ben and Chris had already built, turning their efforts into a scalable system.

Together, the trio created something that not only worked for Ben’s business but could work for other small businesses, too. And just like that, Rep Lock Marketing was born.

A Proven Formula for Small Business Growth

What started as a personal project to save one struggling company has grown into a full-fledged marketing agency dedicated to helping small businesses succeed. 

Thanks to the strategies Ben, Chris, and Bray developed, Ben’s business didn’t just survive—it thrived. Today, it’s ranked among Central Texas’ top-rated businesses in its industry.

And that’s just the beginning. Rep Lock Marketing has since helped countless other small businesses achieve similar success, using the same tried-and-true approach that worked for Ben.
