OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Saxum, an
integrated marketing communications agency offering public
relations, advertising and digital services, today announced it has
opened an office in Houston and
has hired agency veteran Teresa
Henderson to serve as senior vice president of client
development.
"Opening an office in Houston
is a natural expansion to support our large energy practice as well
as multiple Texas clients. The
city remains entrepreneurial and an exciting place to do business
despite shifting energy prices," said Renzi
Stone, Saxum chairman and CEO. "We believe now is the
perfect time for companies in all areas of the energy sector to
prioritize their strategic communications efforts that may have
been delayed during the past couple year's growth. Teresa's deep
expertise in Texas business will
help us capitalize on that client development opportunity."
Henderson comes to Saxum with more than 30 years of public
relations and strategic communications experience. She previously
served as senior vice president and general manager of Pierpont
Communications in Dallas, where
she directed several client relationships focused on entry into the
oil and gas energy sector. Prior to that, she served as executive
vice president and regional general manager for Edelman in
Dallas and Austin.
"We are excited to have Teresa joining Saxum to lead our
national business development efforts," said Saxum President
Debbie Schramm. "As an expert in
integrated communications, she will be focused on identifying
businesses and organizations that could benefit from Saxum's
strategic counsel and services. With her boundless energy, bold
ideas and passion for driving results, Teresa will play a key role
in the future of Saxum as we move into new markets nationwide."
Henderson serves on the Leadership Dallas Alumni Board, the SPCA
of Texas Board of Directors and is
the cofounder of DFW Page 2, a consortium of senior communications
strategists in the Dallas/Fort
Worth area. She is a past member of the Board of
Directors for the Dallas Regional Chamber, and a long-time member
and former chair of the Chamber's communications council.
