After a highly competitive RFP process, the City of Downey selected Tripepi Smith to provide strategic public relations and communications services, including a communications assessment, social media management, graphic design support and e-newsletter production.

Tripepi Smith has begun a multi-step process: the first is to conduct an audit of the City’s current Communications processes, tactics and strategy. Once complete, the Tripepi Smith team will present to the City a full reflection of its current communications efforts and offer suggestions to develop an updated Public Relations and Strategic Communications Plan. By establishing that clear plan, the team can then move forward with the implementation of various strategies and tactics.

The Tripepi Smith team–consisting of President Ryder Todd Smith, Director Jon Barilone, Senior Business Analyst Emily Mason, Senior Graphic Designer Kjerstin Wingert, Business Analyst Karen Villaseñor and Junior Business Analysts Jerald La Madrid and Kylie Benzing–will bring a diverse mix of skills and talents to the table to implement a comprehensive, strategic and proactive Communications program that will support a wide range of City services, programs and events.

“Downey is a vibrant and highly regarded community within L.A. County thanks, in part, to its city government’s innovative and transformative initiatives. One need only look at how they revived the downtown and civic center area to see the progress the City has made,” said Jon. “Tripepi Smith is honored to have the opportunity to work with the City to support Council and staff goals, such as strengthening their outreach and engagement efforts.”
