Denver’s Communications Strategy Group (CSG) has opened an office in New York City. The new office, located in the city’s financial district, joins CSG’s existing offices in Washington, D.C., and Denver. CSG has hired Ashley Frost as its first senior associate in New York and plans to recruit additional professionals in the coming months.

Turner PR has added four clients to its travel and tourism roster: Q&A Residential Hotel, Vidanta, Smith Fork Ranch and World Nomads.

Bill Kostka was the son of the man who opened Denver’s first public relations firm. He could have easily ridden those coattails, but instead he made an even bigger name for himself by growing the firm with high-profile clients such as Ford Motor Co., Martin Marietta Corp., Kodak and Dow Corning.

Bill passed away last night. He was 81.
