Oak Street Social's services are outstanding. Sometimes it is as if they are a part of our team by weaving in what JT Env. is doing or spreading the stories that relate to the industries where we assist our clients, or simply just running with what they have to offer for social media. They are life savers when it comes to growing and satisfying our followers. And the followers that we have gained have been quality followers, that says a lot for Oak Street Social's dedication and that isn't something that just happens overnight.October 26, 2017

Pros:

  • The women at Oak Street are amazing and always looking for the best way to display your brand or product. They truly care about you and your company and building a strong relationship and foundation to produce the best work.

  • The OSS team is beyond a pleasure to work with! Working on the creative side of some amazing video projects with OSS, my experience with everyone never fails to be a true delight! I am fortunate enough to work closely with Johanna Grange, who not only allows but encourages me to flex my creativity on video shoots.

  • Super professional with great connections with influencers.

  • Oak St. Social's creativity, flexibility and professionalism impressed us from our first interaction with them. Without their expertise and inspiration, as a brand, we would not be where we are today. They established our brand's social media tool box with everything we needed to launch, and educated our team on best practices and ideas.

Cons:

  • We were happy with our experience, nothing to not like.

  • NOTHING! THEY ARE STELLAR! Looking forward to working with the team again.

  • I wish they were located locally - Houston TX so I could attend the photoshoots.

  • I don't have anything that I liked the least, they take critique and criticism so great and will change things up if it's ever needed!

Pros:
The ease of having to do nothing. If JT Env. provides content, or Oak Street Social creates it on their own, it has been an extremely smooth experience without any hiccups or headaches.
Cons:
That social media such a part of business and that you have to have a firm like this to keep everyone aware of the services that we are offering and to stay ahead of our competition. Honestly, we couldn't do half of the job that Oak Street Social provides if we had kept the marketing in house at JT Env.

Overall Experience: The OSS team helped us establish our social media channels, and created a strong, engaged presence across key social platforms. The entire OSS team was a delight to work with and have made our brand stronger, more visible and recognizable in the marketplace. They're also a lot of fun to work with and always came to the table with creative, thought-provoking ideas. The entire OSS team is an incredibly smart, social-savvy group to partner with and are true thought-leaders in the industry.

Pros:
Most importantly I have noticed that the Oak Street Social team treats everyone on set with the utmost respect, regardless of their roll. A true reflection of WHO Oak Street Social is and what they stand for. I also love how organized everything is pre, during, and post-shoot, it makes for a seamless experience.
Cons:
All I can say is that I only wish I could work with them more often!

Overall Experience: It's been amazing working with Oak St. Their attention to detail and new social trends is exactly what is needed. With the quick changing social media trends all the time it's hard to keep up and it's a breath of fresh air that they do that for you! They strive for the best at all times.

Pros:
Where do I even begin; Johanna, Carolyn, Halle, Evelyn, Melissa and their entire team (sorry for anyone I forgot to name!!!) are nonetheless dynamic. A collective group of women who are experts in what they do. They know exactly what needs to happen for success; while making sure their consumers are happy and that their visions are being represented as well. I have never worked with a more communicative and receptive group. Truly the best, anyone who is NOT using they should reconsider their current route!
Cons:
... Absolutely nothing. There really is nothing I do not like. If there is ever any question about what is going on - they are there to answer it and adjust as need.

Pros:
The OSS team is very knowledgable with social media channels and how to develop and manage creative content and posts. They have also been very helpful in answering any questions we have about the whole process. They genuinely care about the success of our business.
Cons:
I honestly can not say there is anything we have to complain about with Oak Street Social. At the very beginning we had a few changes we wanted to make to content and they addressed it immediately.

Overall Experience: Overall, we are very happy we made the choice to hire Oak Street Social. Since we hired them four months ago, our IG followers have grown from 70 to 1150. This tells me we must be getting noticed. OSS seems very well connected in the community, which I think has to be an advantage to our business.

Their creative team and abilities are amazing from copy writing to choosing photographers and capturing beautiful imagery to represent my brand. My clients are always surprised to hear I have an agency because they think the communication is so much in my brand's voice.
Cons:
Nothing. In fact, I appreciate how if there is something I'd like differently or have feedback, they are always willing to explore options.

Overall Experience: Within minutes of meeting Johanna, I knew I was in authentic and careful hands. At photoshoots, her staff is completely on top of it. Every time they post, I gain 10-15 followers. I don’t ever want to do Social again without Oak St.
