About

Partnerships are the solid oak foundation of every story we tell.

In the 90s, fate united Vikki Herrera and Kristen White at UC Berkeley, igniting a friendship that has flourished over decades. With 50+ years of combined expertise in PR, marketing, and communications, they launched Oak Street Communications to do work the legacy agencies couldn't.

We breathe life into brands, revolutionize strategies, and shape narratives — with the rare combination of senior craft, data fluency, and unmistakable taste.

Where partnerships thrive, stories ignite, and success takes root.
