Our Core Values

We value being genuine, being relevant and enhancing every communication your organization has with your customers.

19 Oaks is...

Engaged and Responsive. We are available with our ideas and our time – with clients, and with our community.
Curious. We want to know the why and how of what works (and what doesn't). We’re hungry to learn more about your customers, your sales cycles, your goals and your story.
Creative. We're idea people who aren't clever merely for the sake of cleverness. We believe that great creative delivers value.
Process Driven. We believe that that a clearly defined, thoughtful, and inclusive process drives quality, repeatable outcomes.
Results Driven. All strategies, campaigns, content and actions we recommend or execute have a specific purpose that informs our next move.
