Mexico’s consulate general has retained Washington, D.C.-based lobbying and consulting firm The Raben Group to propose a communications plan for the purpose of sharing the experiences of Mexicans living in that country as well as in the U.S.
The agreement, which runs until December 31, will fetch The Raben Group a total of $2.3 million to “design and scale campaigns in service of educating, enriching and fostering understanding and respect for the Mexican-American people, their heritage and their unique cross-cultural contributions.”
Consulting work will be handled by Washington, D.C.-based Information Management Services, Inc. The Raben Group has hired IMS through president Jeff Klueter to serve as a consultant in the project. That company will provide research, communications and strategic support on behalf of the Consulate General of Mexico within the U.S. The Raben Group will pay IMS a total project fee of $500,000 for the work, which also completes at the end of the year.
The pact was signed by Raben Group president Robert Raben, who will serve as primary representative, along with Larry Gonzalez and Estuardo Rodriguez. They report to Oscar Rodriguez Cabrera, who is the consul general at the Consulate General of Mexico in Houston.
