Crystal Oakes

Designer. Business Owner. Public Speaker.

Let me tell you – I LOVE people. I love meeting them. Laughing with them. Learning from them. Growing alongside them. And, one of my favorites, teaching them.

We can learn a lot about ourselves and our industry from others. One of the reasons I’m in love with public speaking is that I not only have the chance to pass on my experience to other entrepreneurs, but I also learn from their thoughtful questions and insight.

That being said, I’d LOVE to be a part of your event. Whether you are hosting a zoom panel or a branding brunch, I’m SO there.

Hi, I’m Crystal!

You may know me as the owner of Oakes Creative House. I am! And I love it. At OCH, I passionately help small businesses and nonprofits level up their marketing and branding. My team and I offer support for all things writing, designing and web-development. BUT, as a small business owner myself, I know that there isn’t always the budget to hire a full-service agency, especially as you’re just getting started.

That’s why I love speaking and educating.

In my 15 years as a marketer, I’ve marketed in 22 countries, completed a corporate website relaunch in 6 languages, oversaw the creation of over 90 websites, 175 logos, 60 catalogs, 200 photoshoots and have helped over 355 clients level-up their branding!*

That being said, I have experience to go around! And I want to share it with you. Whether you are looking to learn how to establish and accomplish business goals, get started on a refreshed, professional-level brand, or learn how to become a master freelancer, I’ve got you!

As someone who was once a freelancer and new business owner, and who now owns a rapidly growing business, I’m ready to meet you where you are at and help you turn passion into success.

Local to OKC OR virtual

I love volunteering, but I (sadly) can’t be everywhere all at once! If you’d like me to attend your event outside of the OKC metro, I’d be happy to talk payment options with you personally.

The Marketing Lounge

Struggling to make marketing a consistent priority? Guess what! You’re not alone. We’ve seen a lot of business owners and solopreneurs struggle with consistency in their marketing, unfortunately stripping them of immense growth and opportunity. Yikes! So, we decided to launch The Marketing Lounge, a monthly membership for entrepreneurs to continue their education and marketing with group accountability.
