Hi there!
My name is Crystal Oakes and I teach entrepreneurs how to improve their brand and create authentic connections! Raised by serial entrepreneurs, I have such a heart for small businesses and the passionate people who create them!
After starting Oakes Creative House in college, I went on to spend 10+ years in the corporate world working with business leaders, developing strategies and leading marketing teams in 22 countries, before returning to my true passion of helping small business owners. Now I get to live my dreams of running my own (successful) business AND coaching other entrepreneurs how to reach their own goals!
One of the biggest things I hear business owners struggle with is they feel like they have NO idea what they’re doing when it comes to marketing their business — and it’s not doing anything for their bottom line!
I’m here to help you achieve your vision for success with advanced tools and training developed from my personal years of experience. I can’t wait to grow together!

For the Love of Business
Are you an entrepreneur or business owner that is looking for a community of people that have walked in your shoes, have been where you are and are willing to help you get to the next level? I felt like this was a real need in the business world, a community where we can come together, lift each other up and support each other in a true community over competition mindset. So, I decided to make a Facebook group to do just that! If you are a business owner and would like to help others, learn from others and embrace the community over competition mindset, then the For the LOVE of Business Facebook group is PERFECT for you!
