Communications Strategy Group has opened an office in New York City. The new office, located in the financial district, joins CSG’s existing offices in Washington, D.C., and Denver, where the company is headquartered.
CSG has hired Ashley Frost as its first senior associate in New York and plans to recruit additional professionals in the coming months.
“CSG is growing quickly, and that’s due to two things: our unique and measured approach to content-based influencer relations and our ability to attract some of the brightest communications professionals from around the country,” said Steven Shapiro, CSG’s founder and president, in a statement. “The addition of our New York office will allow us to reach more clients and talent as we continue to expand.”
CSG, founded in 2004, specializes in financial and professional services, education, health & wellness and consumer packaged goods. Clients include, Janus Capital, Farmers Insurance, the Financial Planning Association, Wolters Kluwer and Kaiser Permanente.
The agency is also part of IPREX, a global network of more than 100 public relations firms.
