She will play a valuable role in servicing our Tulsa clients and helping grow our business.” 

As an account supervisor, Oden will be responsible for managing communications and public relations services for multiple client accounts.

“I am really looking forward to joining Saxum and playing a role in building upon its already impressive client base in Tulsa,” Oden said.

Oden also served in marketing positions for the St. John Health System, Wyandotte Advertising and Kuhn & Witternborn Advertising in Kansas City, Missouri. She also has served as board member for Oklahoma State University’s School of Journalism and Broadcasting and the Association for Women in Communications and is a graduate of Leadership Tulsa. She has a bachelor of arts in advertising from OSU.
