Partner Spotlight: Tripepi Smith
CalChoice has relied on marketing and public affairs firm Tripepi Smith to spread the word about its innovative operations and associate members since 2017.
“We’re an organization founded for cities, by cities–and no one understands municipal communications like Tripepi Smith’s team,” said CalChoice Executive Director Jason Caudle. “The firm’s extensive experience working with public agencies makes Tripepi Smith an ideal partner to conduct outreach to our residents and potential members.”
Tripepi Smith brings experience with over 100 clients in the local government space to provide a suite of communications services for CalChoice. The firm delivers press releases that highlight CalChoice successes and milestones, including new member additions, innovative projects in member cities and operational updates. Combining graphic design expertise and narrative development, Tripepi Smith also produces a quarterly newsletter with up-to-date information about CalChoice, and a monthly newsletter to update members on the latest legislative news. The firm also administers updates to the website and supports special event planning and execution.
Additionally, Tripepi Smith provides marketing and communications services to associate members as requested. Lancaster, Pomona and Palmdale have all engaged Tripepi Smith for graphic design support, including logo development. In 2019, using its video expertise, the firm filmed a series of explanatory videos about each active associate member’s program.
“CalChoice is at the forefront of innovation in local government, and our work with the hybrid JPA and its members helps us stay on the cutting edge in our field,” said Tripepi Smith Director of Operations Katherine Griffiths. “We love finding creative ways to showcase the organization’s exciting work and to help engage residents with the impactful programs each member offers.”
