Meet The Founder
Derek Hayden
Derek Hayden founded Protégé Sales & Marketing with a simple belief: small businesses deserve effective marketing without the complexity, inflated costs, or cookie-cutter approach of a traditional agency.
With a background in sales, marketing, business development, and entrepreneurship, Derek understands the challenges business owners face because he’s experienced them firsthand. Generating leads, building a recognizable brand, earning customer trust, and figuring out where to spend marketing dollars can be difficult—especially when you’re also trying to run the day-to-day operations of a business.
That experience shaped Protégé’s practical, results-focused approach to marketing.
Derek works primarily with local businesses, contractors, and service-based companies to strengthen their presence both online and in their communities.
