Partner with Velvet Oak

Put exceptional experiences in front of women who value them.

Velvet Oak collaborates with distinctive hospitality spaces, independent businesses, makers, cultural destinations and experience partners whose work gives people a reason to make time for life beyond work.

The audience

Full lives.
Discerning tastes.

Our community is designed for ambitious and professional women with full schedules—women who value quality, discovery and memorable experiences but may not always have the time to find what is genuinely worth their attention.

Through thoughtfully curated gatherings, experiences and storytelling, Velvet Oak introduces members to places and partners we believe deserve to be discovered.

Our collaborations begin in North Carolina and are designed to expand nationally and globally as the community grows. We are building toward that vision without overstating our current scale.

The partner proposition

Thoughtful visibility,
not mass exposure.

Velvet Oak is intentionally beginning small. Our founding experiences prioritize the quality of the gathering, relevance of the audience and how each partner is represented.

Depending on the collaboration, partners may benefit from:

Introduction to a thoughtfully curated audience
Professional photography and content where appropriate
Organic social storytelling and partner recognition
Visibility with women interested in worthwhile experiences
Potential for repeat visits and future collaborations
Association with a growing discovery and leisure community

We believe the strongest partnerships create value for the member, the partner and the Velvet Oak community. Scope, contributions and representation are agreed together; visibility is one part of the exchange, not the entire proposition.
