Redbird Communications Group and the TEN|10 Group announced on Wednesday that they have completed a strategic transition in which Redbird will assume the leadership and management of TEN|10’s robust oil and gas practice.
TEN|10 team members have begun working in collaboration with Redbird’s energy communications professionals, providing a seamless continuum of communications counsel and service for TEN|10 energy clients.
Redbird Communications Group, based in Fort Worth and San Antonio, is a full-service strategic communications firm focused solely in the oil and gas industry. Founded in early 2019 and led by co-founders Meggan Morrison and Meredith Howard, Redbird offers a full range of services including media and public relations; website design and development; graphic design; crisis communications and incident response preparedness; environment, social and governance (ESG) consulting; media training; executive coaching; and corporate message development. Redbird focuses primarily on independent, private midstream and oil and gas exploration and production companies.
“I have worked with the TEN|10 Group for many years, most especially with the late founder, Casey Nikoloric, who was a mentor to me in the early years of my consulting career,” says Howard in a statement. “The opportunity to carry on Casey’s legacy and work alongside the remarkable team she developed is an honor. While the company name may be different, the service will be the same. We look forward to growing new relationships and continuing to provide our clients with outstanding counsel.”
Based in Denver, TEN|10 was founded by the late Casey Nikoloric and grew to be a premier strategic marketing and communications firm serving independent energy companies, private equity firms, and nonprofits. Under the new leadership of Nikoloric’s son, Ed Hine, TEN|10 will continue to provide communications services in the nonprofit and educational sectors.
“With the tragic passing of our founder and my friend Casey Nikoloric, our goal for the transition of our oil and gas practice has remained simple: to continue to provide TEN|10 clients with the high level of service and guidance they have come to expect,” says Steve Foster, longtime member of the TEN|10 team and interim principal. “I have worked with members of the Redbird team since 2013, and there is no doubt that they have the skills and capabilities to meet this goal. I am excited about this transition and the opportunity to continue to help drive our clients’ growth through strategic communications.”
