OAK CREATIVE
GROWING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
For over three decades , Oak Creative has been known in Kent for their expertise in branding , marketing and web design . The creative agency has undergone a transformation since 2020 , when they became part of a large travel group in Kent . Now in 2024 , they are truly excelling in delivering standout brands in the food and drink , rural tourism and agricultural sectors . Working with brands and organisations to boost Kent ’ s economy , Oak Creative has become the go-to agency for businesses seeking to enhance their brand presence and drive growth .
Laura Bevan , who was appointed studio director four years ago , says : “ Since becoming part of the Holiday Extras group in 2020 , our team and our resources have doubled . We ’ ve really been able to spread our wings and offer businesses the support they need in our Creative Partnership model . We ’ re confidently contributing to our clients ’ businesses , elevating their brands and helping them to sell more .”
A Creative Partnership with Oak Creative is a collaborative relationship between a business and our professional creative team . Unlike traditional client-agency dynamics , creative partnerships operate as extensions of the client ’ s team : sharing goals , workload and responsibilities , all working towards the same outcomes . Oak Creative promises to add value to businesses by listening to their goals , becoming an integral part of their team and alleviating the hassle of marketing execution .
Based in Newingreen , Oak Creative is carving out a particular niche in the thriving vineyard sector in Kent . Their marketing manager , Jessica Banks , says : “ Viticulture is fast becoming one of Kent ’ s most dynamic industries . We ’ re here to help growers articulate their brand and spread the word about the wonderful things happening in our county . I am excited to be part of it and help businesses build their future .”
As Silver Patrons of Wine GB and Industry Partners with Produced in Kent , Oak Creative has a strong track record of elevating food and drink brands across Kent and beyond . Their double-decade relationship with Biddenden Vineyards is a testament to their deep commitment to fostering strong , collaborative relationships within Kent .
As vineyards focus on nurturing their vines , Oak Creative helps them nurture their brand . Most recently , the creative team worked with the brand-new Penn Oast Vineyard in Hollingbourne to create their identity and launch their ecommerce website . Penn Oast will complete their first harvest this year and understand that in the competitive world of wine , a vineyard ’ s brand is more than just a name or logo , it ’ s the story it tells and the experience it promises .
Tourism is also a key priority for the viticulture sector . This summer , Oak Creative collaborated with Wine Garden of England to help increase tourism from London . “ Being part of the Holiday Extras group
gives us great exposure to the travel and tourism sector ,” notes Laura Bevan . “ We can bring a fresh perspective and unrivalled skills to our clients in other sectors , propelled by the insights we gain from our parent company - one of the leading travel and technology businesses in the UK .”
