Many small and medium-sized businesses or agencies have the exact same creative leadership needs as a more established enterprise. Unfortunately, most can’t afford a full-time, in-house resource.
Standing Oaks fills that gap. Founded to offer marketing support—and, if needed, access to a network of talent—with an extensive background to deliver a holistic brand approach and execution to help companies of all sizes grow. Supported by a depth of Fortune 500 brand expertise, we’re driven to provide “big agency” thought leadership to small and medium-sized businesses.
Just as an acorn is 100% oak, so too is a brand or company. Planted in the right place and given the correct nourishment, it’s able to grow and take on a stable and long-lasting stance to become an oak of the industry™—strong, dependable, wise and fruitful.
We want to be an integrated part of your development without adding permanently to your overhead. Through this partnership, we both grow taller and stronger as we stand together.
How can we help you grow?
