Barbara Smith Campbell has merged her Consensus LLC shop into Nevada's Ferraro Group PR/PA shop.

She's a tax policy pro who has represented client before the state's insurance division, public utilities commission and taxation department.

Campbell last month resigned as chairman of the Silver State Insurance Exchange after a four-year stint.

Greg Ferraro, who spent a dozen years at Las Vegas PR/PA powerhouse R&R Partners before setting up his shop, called Campbell "one of the foremost tax policy authorities in Nevada."

She also served as finance director at Mandalay Development, which was merged into MGM Mirage, and chaired the Nevada Taxpayers Assn.

Ferraro Group has worked for clients such as JPMorgan Chase, Dunkin' Donuts, Apple, 3M and Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development.
