It’s an exciting time for Saxum Tulsa. The last few weeks have been among the most fun in my career, doing everything from hiring staff and landing the best office space in Tulsa (We love you, Brady Arts District!), to whirlwind meetings across the state, writing proposals and working with our outstanding clients.
Having worked for years with the franchisees of Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent A Car, I received a strong dose of entrepreneurial spirit. But never in a million years had I dreamed I’d be part of the entrepreneurial world through helping to launch the Tulsa branch of Saxum, a creative public relations and strategic marketing firm.
Lucky for me, I’ve had great support from the Saxum troop, particularly from our newest team member, Chris Oden, formerly with the Tulsa Metro Chamber, where she served as executive director of TYPros (Tulsa Young Professionals). If Chris O. wasn’t already accomplished enough, she was recently named an “Achiever Under 40” by the Journal Record for her accomplishments as one of Oklahoma’s talented young leaders. Then she also made Oklahoma Magazine’s “40 Under 40.” The awards are stacking up on the many shelves in our new building.
We are up and running smoothly in the new Tulsa office at 200 E. Brady. Tom Wallace and his crew at Wallace Engineering are very welcoming, and we appreciate them greatly. Not to mention the added bonus of being smack-dab in the middle of a lot of exciting things happening in Tulsa.
Where else can you walk a block down the street and grab a hot dog from a street vendor near ONEOK Field? It’s hard to do that outside of NYC.
Speaking of the new place… Our open house for Saxum Tulsa is scheduled for this Thursday, June 24. We are expecting a full house. If you are interested in joining us, please let us know! Click here for more information and to RSVP.
If you’re lucky enough to make it, you’ll be in for a big surprise!
