City of Martinez Retains Tripepi Smith for Communications Support
The City of Martinez has engaged Tripepi Smith to provide ongoing marketing and communications support on a retainer basis, following the firm’s work on several graphic design projects over the course of the past year. The 1-year initial engagement began on November 1, 2020, and includes ongoing bilingual social media support, news writing and quarterly metrics reporting to give the City a detailed picture of their communications efforts.
Martinez is the newest addition to Tripepi Smith’s list of clients in the greater Bay Area, which includes Vallejo, Livermore, American Canyon, Napa, Tracy and the County of Sacramento. Adding Martinez as a retainer client further solidifies the firm’s presence in the region and Tripepi Smith’s place as a governmental communications expert throughout the State of California.
Tripepi Smith Senior Business Analyst Bria Balliet leads the City’s communication efforts with the help of Junior Business Analyst Allison Torres.
“Martinez is an incredible City with an engaged population that wants to make an impact — and the City wants to make sure they are effectively communicating with their residents to help facilitate that,” said Bria. “The City’s aim is to make sure we are getting information in the hands of the residents that is timely, informative, and engaging. I’m excited that Tripepi Smith is on board to help them achieve that goal.”

Today, the City covers 12.5 square miles and has approximately 36,700 residents.
