TAG Strengthens U.S. Production Division With Key Appointments and New Regional Offices
TAG announced a significant expansion of its U.S. production operations, reinforcing its longstanding commitment to the entertainment and production sectors. With decades of experience globally supporting major productions with unrivaled travel logistics, we are now deepening our U.S. presence through new leadership appointments and regional growth.
TAG has appointed Nicole Abbinanti as Director, Entertainment Strategy & Partnerships, and Crystal McAlerney as Director of Production, U.S. Both Abbinanti and McAlerney join the company from BCD Travel. Abbinanti holds more than 20 years in the entertainment travel space, and McAlerney joins the team after working in production since 2007. These strategic hires mark an important milestone in TAG’s continued investment in our entertainment and production offerings, particularly across the American market.
McAlerney shared, “I’m thrilled to be joining TAG to help expand their production travel division in the U.S. The team’s vision, energy, and unwavering commitment to excellence truly resonate with me. I’m eager to contribute everything I can to drive this division’s success. U.S.-based productions have long needed a seamless, all-in-one travel solution — air, cars, hotels, housing and billing — and TAG is ready to deliver.”
Abbinanti added, “Returning to a true entertainment travel and event agency has been a meaningful reconnection with my roots in the industry. It’s a privilege to join the strategy team, where we're focused on driving sustainable growth and deepening authentic partnerships with both clients and suppliers. What makes this journey especially rewarding is working alongside an exceptional team — individuals who bring passion, creativity and a shared commitment to excellence every day. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and grateful to be part of something that truly reflects the heart of the entertainment experience.”
To support this continued growth, TAG will expand production capabilities with the opening of two new offices — Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cincinnati, Ohio. These additions strengthen TAG’s footprint across the U.S., positioning the company to better meet growing demand for travel and logistics support in television and film production.
With a reputation for delivering seamless, end-to-end production travel solutions — from air and ground transport to accommodation, housing and on-site logistics — TAG continues to serve some of the most recognized names in film, television, and live entertainment worldwide.
“TAG has been deeply embedded in the U.S. production landscape for many years,” said Justine Liddelow, TAG’s Vice President of Entertainment Sales & Account Management. “This expansion represents the next phase of our evolution, one that builds on our proven expertise while investing in the infrastructure, talent and partnerships that will shape the future of unrivaled production travel management.”
