Nuffer, Smith, Tucker Expands Binational Practice with Hire of Cross-Border Native

SAN DIEGO - Feb. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- As the region's companies see a greater need to reach stakeholders on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border, Nuffer, Smith, Tucker Public Relations (http://www.nstpr.com/what-we-do/) is building upon its history in binational relations (http://www.nstpr.com/what-we-do/binational-relations/) with the hiring of Rodrigo Caballero, a cross-border business veteran.

"The physical border between our two countries is becoming irrelevant to many organizations and companies, whose interests reside on both sides of the border," said Bill Trumpfheller, president of NST. "Building on our long history of supporting efforts binationally, Rodrigo will bring more than a decade of experience in cross-border business, as well as key cultural understandings to amplify NST's strategic work."

With exceptional contacts throughout Mexico, a keen knowledge of economic development and a track record for bridging the gap between the two countries, Caballero’s experience from previously helming his own company, which specialized in organizing and developing international trade shows and events, is invaluable. Caballero began his career with key positions within the state government in Baja, The Baja IT Cluster and Crossborder Business Group, a research firm with a presence on both sides of the border. At NST, Caballero will be charged with helping NST's clients create strategic partnerships and raise awareness among key audiences in the U.S. and Mexico.

NST has been executing international campaigns since its early days, including managing Consejo San Diego/Tijuana, the first joint Tijuana-San Diego research and strategy effort designed to define mutual problems and action plans; tourism support for the City of Ensenada; strategy work for the Ensenada Vision 2025 project; sponsorship support for Tijuana Innovadora (http://www.nstpr.com/casestudy/tijuana-innovadora-us-medi...); and launching Greatbatch Medical (http://www.nstpr.com/casestudy/tijuana-press-conference-a...)'s manufacturing presence in Tijuana.

After 13 years of being located downtown, NST returned to its Uptown neighborhood roots in January 2015 with an office relocation to Third Avenue and Washington Street. Before the firm’s downtown stint, NST had two office locations in Bankers Hill throughout its 40-year history (http://www.nstpr.com/our-story/history/).
